Rip windows xp

ASUS has a utility called GPU TweakII which will stop all non game related processes and programs. That will free up a lot of your computer for gaming. Other brands should have their versions of that utility. It helps me a lot. Just remember to restart after gaming.

your wasting your time if your pc is from 2010 its most likely running windows xp which is not a 64 bit os , also have no support for any 2gig + graphics and won't even run games from 2015.

Its time to up date unless all you use your computer for is old games and music or youtube, i don't think that even pretending you could install this game on a 2010 system is even worth the time, the size differance on hard drives is astronomical, in 2010 we have 10-20gig hard drives, today this games 80 gigs alone.

there comes a time when common sense needs to be considered when people make threads that are very illogical, i have a 386 from 1990 maybe it can run fallout 1, but to be honest it couldn't even install the files because of the harddrive space difference.

You seem wildly wrong on your numbers there...

In 2010 I had several 2-3 TB mechanical hard drives and Windows 7. Shoot in 2010, I even had my OS installed on an 120GB SSD.

20GB hard drives are what I had in my Compaq Presario a decade prior to that in 2000. I remember upgrading it to 80GB in 2003.

I have an old laptop from 2012 with integrated graphics that runs Fallout 76.... barely. There's no reason one can't do some minor upgrades to a 2010 desktop build to get good results with Fallout 76.

My daughter plays Fallout 76 on a PC I custom built in 2012 (although I have updated the graphics card, it would play fine on the old gpu it had).

world of warcraft was 20 gigs in 2004 so maybe? my 2004 pc which played WOW was 1.7 mghz with 1 gig of ram i think, and maybe a 512 mb video card? it also ran on windows xp

prob right , but i remember having to install windows 7 just to run new games on my pc back in 2012 so that wasn't every fun, techincally i guess my old pc could still ran fallout 4 with windows 7 , orginally i use to play it on there. its only a quad core with 8 gigs of ram and 2 gigs of video.

it also ran skyrim

i would hate to try an play this on it though, you would be playing it at the lowest settings possible just to get it to work and most likely still get hit so hard by graphic shader lag you would disconnect.

running a 8 core with 16 gigs ram and 8 gigs dedicated vram, i wouldn't honestly recommend playing fallout 76 with anything less unless you want poor quality and poor stability.

uhhhhhhhhhh what

[76561199281265327]

lol looked at the box for world of warcraft, 2004 it says 800 mhz 4 gigs installed, 256 mbs of ram and 64 video ram, also says 56k or better internet connection, 18 years ago some people still used dialup, crazy world we live in now they literally quadrupled the size of data waste as we have increased the size of hard drives, to basically make the growth obsolete. considering Warcraft is still the same game it was at release. and techinally fallout 76 should be able to play on the same specs of fallout 3 or new vegas.


lemme see what the pitt fallout 3 box says, should be similar
fallout 3 2.4ghz processor 1gb ram, 6 gig hd , xp or vista,
pitt and operation anchorage the same , Free vault boy poster included inside HAHA

[76561199281265327]

well sad days the free vaultboy poster is missing from my pitt case, however this is interesting

Broken steel and point outlook ad inside , never heard of broken steel or point outlook so that might be a neat add on for fallout 76 content

broken steel shows a airport kinds looks like the one in the game already, and point outlook looks like cranberry bog, literally looking at the back of the Pitt case shows the AUTOAXE and a Trogg so nice migration of content from fallout 3 expansion to fallout 76

I still used a computer from 2010 up until a couple years ago for gaming but it was overbuilt for its time and there was only a couple games that was starting to have issues with it due to a newer processing method that newer cpus used that newer games started to require but other than that it performed just fine unlike how others would downplay it saying it was junk etc but those just contribute to waste and just want people to keep up with others by wasting money .

I think your information is a bit incorrect as Windows XP DID have a 64 bit edition for one and can support higher than 2gb . Here is a link showing more info about XP 64 bit
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_XP_Professional_x64_Edition

Also windows 7 existed and was launched around 2009 so a new computer in 2010 would have a high chance to have it especially if it came from a box store.


As for the fallout 1 game you mentioned it could be installed/emulated on modern hardware without issue.

[76561199281265327]

hmmm no i said a 386 couldn't play fallout 1, (face palming here) also when i said my pc from 2010 what i ment was my pc from 2004, which i upgraded in 2012 it had XP and no not really anyone was rolling with 64 xp systems, maybe if you had Xp pro but again not many standard systems got copys of xp pro and i think you had to actually set the 64 bit drivers, which where not modernized to newer gaming hardware.

but lets digress on all this , the fact is you need a new pc if your pc is from 2010, just go upgrade it they are pretty cheap today, you could get by with a 2015 system today on most games, if your graphics cards decent. there is no reason to try an play a game from 2018 on a pc from 2010, whats really the malfunction today do you still drive a 15 year old car? why are you playing on a 15 year old pc

32/64 bit systems were common back then especially when you had to select software as there was two options and if the wrong one was selected the software would not work right or not even launch . You could run 32bit software on a 64bit cpu but not the other way around .

As for the graphics card i played on a gtx 590 from 2010 up until the past few years when i upgraded to a 10 series . With the 590 it had no problem handling any game i threw at it from that time frame except the ones that required the new instruction set within the cpu so with that said many components are still very capable and do not need constant upgrading unless you like keeping up with others just because they have it and not a real noticeable difference....or watch a fps meter instead of playing a game .

I also drive vehicles up to 5 times older than 15 years old so i laugh at that comparison !!! there is also nothing wrong with that either so thats another poor comparison .

[76561199281265327]

if your driving antique cars why are you playing games on a antique computer, that makes less sense then parading around a classic car, i am kinda at a loss here , why would you even want to struggle with a slow computer system, its not a classic pc, its not giving you better performance and it doesn't look cool.

i get not wanting to up grade your working system for something better but when it hardly works an and causes frustration, its time to upgrade. i literally felt my pc was at the end of gaming life when this game released. i didn't get this system until 2018 and i didn't get this game until 2020 it is also not top of the line.

but it can handle V.R. and has a VR head set. im not sure where you want to justify continuing to use a old pc to someone who clearly needs to buy a new one.

my old pc had updated parts, but still the top of the performance for it was sub par to todays gaming, your 2010 system is sub par to so there is zero justifying not replacing it.

even when you say you upgrade it still means your replaced key components that without them your pc would not run a game. the upgrades often cost more then actually buying a new system if you know what your doing.

also you could buy better system then you have that is not top of the line and use parts from other systems to beef it up that less knowing people just get rid of, thats what i did, i used DDR3 instead of DDR4 mother board.

The cost was 100's cheaper and the system preformance is on par with systems that cost 100's or 1000's more

I have been building my own computers since the 1970's. My first real computer was an IMSAI 8080 kit. Motherboards, cpu and RAM all have to match. If you want a board with DDR3 RAM, then you will also have an older cpu. You will probably need an older gpu as well, do your research before buying. And remember, if you build your computer yourself, you are the technical support. You can't go to Best Buy and get help.
