Best settings for good frame rate and visuals I have a GTX 750 Ti

Well it's hard to say, what is your CPU, that might bottleneck your performance if it isn't very good. I have an AMD rx 480 and intel i5 (don't remember model)and I can run max settings at 60 fps, the game engine limits the fps to 60 for physics reasons. Other than that fiddle around with it. I make sure to turn on a fps counter and see what makes it tip at 60 about. Or if you define good as 30 fps then you should have easier time

Well,your GPU shouldn't be an issue,it all depends on your CPU. Intel CPU's are inherently better for running this game due to their better per core performance over AMD,take my word for it,AMD CPU's don't run this game very well. Of course,if you mod it,you're gonna want the 4GB patcher too.

Yea AMD CPUs are lacking, hopefully Ryzen fixes that, and also does the game actually not use up to 4 go of ram? I mean... It made sense in morrowind but wow. Where can I find this 4gb patch? Is it on the nexus?

I have an i5 - 6400 with the GTX 750 Ti. It auto set me on Ultra High...but then getting to the main menu it didn't look ultra quality and I guess I second guessed it and didnt know the game capped at 60 FPS....I saw it his 63 though...

Ugh, Fallout New Vegas can tank a pc hard. that said even on ultra settings the game looks dates. If you don't mod, consider it with the Nexus.60 fps seems to be the limit with this game, and there are mods that will increase performance be it with textures, or static image deletion, but it won't really push game performance past 60 fps, the physics depend on the framerate - its part of the game engine.

This game crushes your CPU, you can make the textures look ultra pretty with mods, but the game just isn't programed to be efficient. Even with my decent pc, I get framerates in the single digits for a second or two.

The engine that does its calculations was made for Pentium III and Pentium IV CPUs. You know, the time period where CPUs were trying to be faster by raising clocks and not efficient calculations. So, this engine cannot use most of the advanced features and instructions of modern CPUs, therefore it runs like ass.

Just wondering, so if I bought a Pentium would it do better with this game than an i5? I mean... they are only like $5

Unlikely, because if you circumvent the scripting engine's issues with a hardware suited for it, then you'd be faced with the physics engine requiring resources from that single core you have on a P4, so it would kill your frame rate even more. It is a wonderful deadlock stemming from Bethesda using the same engine for a decade with no updates, because that would have needed money and hiring at least one person who knew how to code.
