1031982 Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 I'm just ordered Fallout 3 on PC (Already played on XBox) I want to use NMC's texture pack. I have a C2D E7200, 4GB Ram, velociraptor HDD, and an ATI Radeon HD 4850.Which pack would be best?I am going to be loading other mods into the game, IE Unoffical patch, DCInteriors, DIMONIZED TYPE3, Fellout, lighting mods, etc.
AlbinoPolarBear Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 I'm pretty sure your GPU can handle the Performance pack but I'm not sure about your CPU though. I would go with the Lite version if I was you. Of course you could try the Performance pack, but don't expect to get perfect framerate with it.
Inazuma22 Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 You could probaly play the full one but your game would probaly have to be at mediem or low :/my specs areAsus gtx 650 ti 1gb8gb 1600mhz ramAmd fx 4100.. oc to 3.9ghz < i hate it im getting a i5Crappy 500gb 7200rpm drive... need to get a ssd..well with that specs i can run the full pack and run the game at high and get arround a solid 50-60 fps.. depending if the cell im in is full of cluter or not.
1031982 Posted January 26, 2013 Author Posted January 26, 2013 Well, my moniter doesent scale properly, windowing everything that's not the native resolution. The problem is that the native resolution is 1920x1080. That doesn't help... The only thing I can say is that I can play any Blu-Ray and all features, including 1080p PiP without an issue.
Inazuma22 Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 1920x1080 is like the standard. Mines the same you just change it in the launcher... to 1920x1080 Or gointo your gpu settings and change it to 1080
1031982 Posted January 27, 2013 Author Posted January 27, 2013 Ok, I'll start at the preformance pack, and see how that goes. I won't have my copy until sometime mid-week. Forgot, I am running Win 7 64-bit. I want to use GFWL, so I won't be enabling the expanded memory.
Thasic Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 The visual impact between Performance and Full is minimal but the impact on performance of your computer can be big. The lite version is far better than vanilla but Performance looks much better than lite.

The lite version is far better than vanilla but Performance looks much better than lite. That's not too surprising, which is also why I have been primarily focusing on lite and preformance. I threw in Full because I could to be honest.Looks like my copy comes in tomorrow. I'm excited... The game was great, and being able to re-play to will be great as well.
1031982 Posted January 31, 2013 Author Posted January 31, 2013 Well, with a lot of mods being loaded with Fallout 3, (over 50) the preformance pack seems to handel well. Every so often there is a small lag, but it's gone in a second. Most likely, if I fine tune the graphic settings I'll have 100% fluid game play.Thanks for the input and info!
Dweedle Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 im using performance and no fps hit and im running on a store bought laptop
