Hi everyone,

I am new here and just looking for a little help.

I am currently playing Fallout 4 on my PC at around Med/High settings, I sometimes get a little screen tear and FPS drops.

This is my current set up:

GPU - GeForce GTX750Ti
CPU - AMD FX 8350 Eight Core
Memory 8GB
Operating System - Win 10 Home


What can I upgrade to play fallout at High/Ulta settings at a steady 50-60 FPS.

Thanks for any help :)

Welcome to the forum. :)

I've requested that this gets moved to the Graphics Cards sub-forum, though no one seems to have responded yet. Failing that, I'm sure plenty of people on here will help out.

Is your cpu overclocked and do you have a budget in mind?
 
Wow the game really does benefit from some sharpening/proper AA.

My main complaint with the graphics is that some objects look like clay models with textures applies poorly/lack of proper bump mapping, but at least the sharpening helps bring out more details/distinguishable.

I'm at the point in the game where I think I have to make a big decision, but I don't want to so I can do all the faction missions just in case I miss out on something cool :D

Which bit?... Because the moment when you have to choose is teased a few times in the game, but you still end up OK with other factions. The actual moment that makes all the difference will have a warning box letting you know.

I don't really have a budget in mind so any help is greatly appreciated.
Yes my CPU is overclocked.

Sorry not much detail, I'm very new to PC gaming.

Well, even though you have no set budget, I think it's probably best to go for a good value for money card which will deliver more performance than you are currently getting, such as a GTX970 or R9 390.

By the way, what PSU do you have?
 
Hi guys,

I don't appear to be picking up that many quests?

As I approach new locations, is it possible to turn people against you without them giving up a quest? I never have my weapon drawn but situations often turn - rapidly! The corpses I leave behind are usually 'Raider Scum' or whatever, so I don't think I'm spoiling anything :(

Be nice to know though...

Thanks.

They start rapidly piling up once you go to Diamond City and progress through the main quest a bit.

I just finally got around to going there (50 hours in) and doing another couple of the main quests and I'm starting to get hammered with quests now :)

Yup, I read something similar on the imgur comments and reminded me of the single best moment of the game so far.

There is a huge pit quite near Sanctuary. I took a companion with me who said "how far down do you think it goooooooooeeeeeessssssss" as he literally fell off the edge as he was saying it. There isn't a better place in the entire map or a better moment for those two things to combine.

Another comment on imgur was along the lines of, bethesda could have chosen the difficult road and made the companions smarter or the easy road and just make them invincible this time around, guess which they did.

Really not enjoying the settlement building. Tried building a house in Sanctury it was a right faff on. No explanation of how power works, or how to get stairs and corner pieces to line up.
Click to expand...

A (very unclear) factor in making things line up is the invisible grid. When you've scrapped a derelict house it looks like you can use the foundation to build on...and you can, but it won't match up with the invisible grid. If you lay a floor on it first, the floor will match the invisible grid and you can easily get all pieces to line up - they will snap to the grid.

Interior stairs aren't in the same menu as the rest of the stairs. They're listed as a stairwell in the wooden structures menu. There's only one type, but that type will snap to line up as long as you're using a built floor and not an existing foundation or ground. Just leave a hole in the floor and a hole in the ceiling and the stairwell (which is floor, ceiling and stair in between) will snap to fit.


Building has been surprisingly badly implemented. At the very least, for efficiency and ease of use when building you need to be able to change perspective, to be able to move your frame of reference significantly. It's not as though building structures is a new thing in games. I would have thought that Bethesda would have at least looked at a few games with it in and not done such a bad job with the building interface. Mind you, they couldn't even do a decent job with inventory handling in a game that encourages hoarding even more than hack and slash loot frenzy games (Diablo style) do.

I know they have to simplify everything to make it usable with the extremely limited input options of a console. But even so, it's a mediocre job at best. You can't even make a contiguous barrier wall on a settlement. It will function as one, but it will have very visible gaps in it. Although maybe if you lay flooring around the edge of your base you'll be able to build a contiguous wall on the flooring. I might try that.

It's usable, but it's clumsy. The interface could have been done so much better. Which sums up the whole game, not just the building aspect of it.
 
Is everyone else fov sticking when you change it? I have set it in all ini files but doesn't seem to do anything. Also tried setting it via console, it changes but as soon as I exit console it reverts back. Tried doing an ini refresh as well

I use the FO4 configuration tool (http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/102/?) now, and have set mine to 110 (looks great), and it sticks.
 
Anyone using the pipboy app as they play it's quite useful.


I have it on my tablet proper up by the screen.

Can use it as a mini map or say keep the status up so you can see eyour health an armour condition in real time or stick it on the inventory page and use it to even change weapons

I use it mainly for the map, but the local map is broken, so hoping the devs fix it sometime.

Just tried this looks great now, I kinda felt like everything was blurry in the distance and this solves that so thanks :).

It's honestly nuts that TAA is pushed as a fix for AA when the image quality reduction is absurd. Fix the 10% of the screen that has aliasing by blurring 100% of everything.... absolute madness. It's almost unbelievable how many years go into a game like this, how much effort and money from a huge number of people and their recommended settings on everything but low is a method of AA that blurs everything horribly.

Worse is, 20 mins work to play around with sweetfx and add something like sharpening as standard to make TAA actually look good and they don't bother. All the design effort they put in, pretty dire textures to begin with then they blur what little detail they did put in.

Just popped the no AA and TAA images through a comparator and told it to ignore any anti aliasing and theres quite a bit. Looks like a lot of foliage is extra and also rocks have appeared out of nowhere.

I'll upload the comparison tomorrow as my net is on the blink right now and cant cope with uploading anything :(

Going to fire the game up with diff settings though and do my own comparison of whether AA affects details though.
Click to expand...

When you load up the game it seems to randomise a lot of ground clutter. Lots of comparison pics say on Nvidia's detail level comparison all shows differences from one picture to the next. That has nothing to do with detail. Seriously follow the steps, load up the sharpen effect and in game without any of those changes you can use scroll lock to flick between TAA +/- sharpening. The difference is completely night and day. I think you have to enable TAA outside of the game so you can't load up and compare directly without it. But seriously, when I did it and hit scroll lock it almost blows your mind how badly it was blurred.
