Pc to play modded Fallout 4

[PantufaMister]

^{_{Hello everyone, I would like the help of you to set up a pc to play Fallout4 with mods, I intend to play in 1080p and between 40/60 fps. I do not intend to use any graphic mod that affects performace, only the mod true storms. The mods that I intend to use in the majority are: mods of weapons and armors, and mainly mods of construction of settlements, but I do not intend to construct gigantic settlements, but rather settlements of small and medium but very detailed, with each structure being unique by its decoration, size, purpose etc. I would like your help, thanks. :laugh: :cool:}}

Your post makes no sense. Why? Because you do NOT mention a price limit.

 

If price is no object, obviously you build a "more money than sense" solution with the latest Intel and Nvidia parts.

 

If, on the other hand, its "how cheap can I go and still have a first class 1080P gaming system"...

 

1) old second hand office unit- ensure it has an Intel i7, at least 8GB of RAM, and can take an external PCI express card. Then add (shudder) an Nvidia 1050TI, since these are low power and won't need an external power cable (which Office PSUs rarely offer).

 

2) A cheap AMD Ryzen 1600/1700/2600x on a cheap motherboard with a cheap 470/780/570/580 AMD GPU and 16GB RAM. This is the sane new no-compromise CHEAP build.

 

3) swap the above GPU for a cheapo AMD v56 (which is way overpowered for 1080P).

 

4) get a very poor value Intel 6-core CPU that can clock to 5GHz, 16GB RAM, and a very poor value Nvida 1070 - really badly coded games like all the Beth open world ones favour Nvidia and the fastest single core Intel part.

 

5) go crazy and buy an Intel 9700K, a Nvidia 1080TI and 32GB of fast RAM. Avoid any of the new Nvidia 'Turing' cards- they are the GPU equivalent of Fallout:76- all hype with a level of crashes and bugs never before witnessed. The failure rate of all these new cards (2070/2080/2080TI) is literally beyond belief. But this option is way over-priced for the performance boost over option 2).

 

each of these options increases in price, obviously. But as for 'perfect' heavy modded Fallout 4 performance- no such thing. When the engine is overloaded, no hardware can save it.

 

Honestly I'd go for option 2- especially since next year sees the AMD Zen2, and new 7nm GPUs from AMD and Nvidia. Now is a bad time to overpay for your new PC.

 

PS try to get a GPU with 6-8GB of RAM. You'll read and hear peeps saying 4GB is enough for 1080P- well I have first hand experience of knowing it is not. Increasing numbers of games require 4GB cards to turn DOWN the highest texture settings. And highest TEXTURE settings never have a performance impact (if you have more VRAM)- whereas every other graphic setting does have an impact as raised.

 

An 8GB 570 is base level for good 1080P. And they are now selling for LESS than Nvidia's vastly slower 1050TI (but do use more power).
