Can 1 GB VRAM videocard run it?

[гот-педовка]

Just asking, im looking for 30 FPS

[Ruin]

No... You'd be lucky to even get the menu screen to run at 30FPS...

if i am looking at the power armor on the main menu screen does that mean the red rocket truck stop is 30 fps per second?

I say "maybe". If you've got enough main memory (12GB or more) then you should be able to use some of it to extend the VRAM of your card. Some mods will let you do this (ENBoost iirc), others trim down the size of textures so these fit into a little less memory. If you go down that road you should end up with a playable game. I suggest you look at Nexusmods.com and search for everything performance related:

And also search for mods that give you smaller textures.

It will ultimately also depend on your CPU and how fast your memory is. If you're willing to spend the money, the game won't walk away, can you experiment with it. If it fails then you'll get a better PC eventually.

Though it might be more reasonable to save the money for now and use it in your next PC. Depends on your personal preferences really.

I'm playing it using my old HD5870 1 GB. Other components include: i5-3570K @ 3.4 GHz, 8 GB ram, SSD, XFi Ti sound card. I set the video card AA to super sampling and high quality texture filtering. Using 1920x1080 (22"), AA set to TAA (best quality) and AF set to 16x in the game options menu. View distances are set to 100%, 50%, 50%, 100% and the 2 dropdowns are set to Medium.

Detail settings are High, High, Medium, Medium, High, Low, Standard, and SSAO(High) for the dropdown settings. Bells and whistles check boxes are set to Off. I haven't tried turning them on yet really only just started playing recently. It doesn't look worse than Fallout 3 and is very playable. Load screens when entering back into the Commonwealth seem a bit long sometimes.

I doubt 1 GB VRAM will pose an issue. My card has 2 GB of GDDR5 and it sure isn't an issue with 2 GB anyway.

Install the Vivid texture mods, and some performance mods like remove fog, special effects. That should allow you to just be able to play okayish. Make sure to put everything at low for specs too.

I can play it just fine on low on a 1gb card. (GTX 750)
I run it around 40 fps on low.




Little bit of a side note: I heard rumors that FO4 is more CPU intensive then GPU.

The main menu is just playing a video file in the background, it doesn't actually load/render the game, so no. Also:

Minimum Graphics: NVIDIA GTX 550 Ti 2GB/AMD Radeon HD 7870 2GB or equivalent

You may have issues. Attempt at your own risk.

It's subjective. A CPU just isn't the same as a GPU. So you cannot really compare them to one another as they do two completely different jobs. Some games do indeed need a fast CPU others need a fast GPU.

But if anything then FO4 is a memory intensive game, because of it being an open world game, which constantly streams textures from the drive into the main memory and onto the graphics card. It is the job of the engine to keep this stream as high as possible while not missing a beat, which is why it is important not only to have a lot of VRAM, but also fast and more than 8GB of main memory and an SSD, too.

You could say it is a CPU intensive game if you mean to say that it requires a CPU, which can utilize fast memory. Not all CPUs produce the same memory throughput. You could also say it is a GPU intensive game, because the faster cards come with more memory, too.

i'm running a 1gig graphic card. 16gig ram(DDR3), duo 3.2CPU and a mean as hell desk usb lamp.

runs perfectly fine on the highest settings possible, tho i did lower the setting for less rubble and such from combat damage since i was getting annoyed with rocks everywhere.

could it be better? of course but i built this computer on a £300 budget at the time, only game it's given me some issues with is ARK. but then who doesnt get issues with ARK?

I was being sarcastic...

Given the notorious frame rate issues that FO4 has at times, I was merely emphasising that expecting a solid 30FPS, on a 1GB card, is likely expecting too much, especially considering that any card that is only running 1GB of RAM is almost certainly going to fall well below the minimum for processing power also...

A 1gb card, notably the 750ti can run the game moderately well so the above posts relying on AHAHAHAHAHAHAhaha..aha, sorry, "Bethesda" and their minimum specs is both sad and hilarious.
Depending on your card you could probably lock it at 30fps, but hen again that also depends on what it is.

What are your specs?

One way to find out then, just remember you can refund it unless It's a key activation.
