Can't see why it wouldn't run on ultra high with those specs, I have a lower spec system and not had any problems with it.

what happens when you try to run on highest settings?

rampin · 2 Feb 2011 at 14:25

the game runs but for some reason it doesnt look like its running smooth as it should be like in buildings it runs fine its only really in open world areas i get this problem.

have been running this game on high in eyefinity 5760x1080 with an x6 1090t 8gb ddr3 and a single 5850 @ 1000 core. So far its been good but ive only put a short amount of time into it due to needing modified config files for pitboy, lockpicks etc...

What kind of performance issues are you having with it?

Has it been fully patched as game was very buggy when it came out

How did you do this as I have eyefinity and dont get the option for 5760x1080. works on most other games fine

The mrs bought the retail version which forced a steam install, enabled the display group and opened up the game and all my eyefinity resolutions were there (bezel corrected and non)... simply started it in an eyefinity res and away I went. Am using 1x Samsung 2333SW and 2x Samsung 2333T monitors.

I have been reading around and apparently 4 or 5 changes in the config will make the pit boy and other in game menus readable.

open areas i.e the waste land is not running smooth seems to lag a lot for example char walk and when he fires wepaon is not smooth i will do some tests and give you the FPS im getting.

Marshstyles · 2 Feb 2011 at 15:40

2.66ghz be holding you back?

i only had a little FPS lag when in one of the vaults (34 i think, the radioactive 1).

with a q6600 @ 3ghz, 280GTX OC with everything on high.

I can run it on Ultra with 4xAA with no problems on the rig below, sometimes the odd frame dip in outside areas when theres a lot going on, but for the most part it runs fine.

OP, details are in your sig, and point to you not having a GFX card, I don't see any reference to a card in your OP, what GFX are you using?

hmmm so theres no reason it shouldnt start in eyefinity then :confused:

everything else is ok. I can imagine it would look amazing using it. Im using 3 of these bad boys

Its the Steam version so it will automagically patch itself.

he's not said that in this thread :confused:

. but yeah of course if its steam it will be fully patched. also try defragging the game cache as steam suggested that when I 1st ran mine

opethdisciple · 2 Feb 2011 at 16:26

The game runs horrendously.

I wouldnt worry about it.

It's a Steamworks game, you can't use it without Steam
