I suggest you go to help at the top of steam and then click system info and then copy paste the info here.

Are you sure? It has godrays.

you don't meet the minimum requirements and will not be able to play the game with a core 2 cpu . Find out what your motherboard supports for a cpu chip, and consider upgrading to a 4 core processor. Same with the card.

Looks at godrays. (Looks like allways, crappy) Um i have a xfx rx 550 it doesnt handle Nvidia exclusive stuff without taking a good performance drop.

He needs A mother board/cpu/videocard/hdd/sdd/ram and case/monitor/mouse/keyboard/mousepad/flashdrive/gamingchair/coderedmountaindew/cheetos/doritos/budwiser/chickenfingers but other than that, its fine.

Run with Dependency walker, make sure the .dll files match your chipset

No ♥♥♥♥ dude

Neither your CPU or GPU even remotely meet this game's requirements. It MAY run, but even if it does, it'll run like crud, and there's no guarantee's.

In short, get a better PC, or request a refund. next time make sure your system meets requirements before you buy.

Do you meet this on your DESKTOP?....

MINIMUM:

Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system

OS: Windows 7/8/10 (64-bit OS required)

Processor: Intel Core i5-2300 2.8 GHz/AMD Phenom II X4 945 3.0 GHz or equivalent

Memory: 8 GB RAM

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

Storage: 30 GB available space
Dual core cpu (even 6xxx conroe-based series - and any 65nm pentium dual-core series labeled conroe or the better wolfdale 45nm chips), will play Fallout 3 and NEW VEGAS just fine.
They likely won't play this. I slow this thing down even with an i7 4790k and an Rx 480 8gb setup with my mods, though by default (and without scrap mods), it'll run just dandy and be almost 'too fast to play' with the v-sync (ifpsclamp or something in the ini) OFF. I don't like Vsync, even when I can do 60~200fps it defaults to 30fps like a *yuck* console. *barfs*.

Your poor 10 year old computer, I feel bad for it, it needs love too; but if you cannot afford a Ryzen (anything!), some ddr-4 memory (8gb minimum to be current), and an AM4 motherboard, please stick to Fallout 3 or New Vegas or enjoy playing Fallout 1 or 2 and see where the series started.
On the bright side, you can try to stick a quad-core if you have a chip-set capable of doing so.
The 945 chipset won't do it, I believe you need the Q-series chipset or a 965 to do quad cores.
For the daring only!
If you have a quad-core capable chipset, and you are DARING, and are willing to risk it all, you can get a SOCKET 775 TO SOCKET 771 INTERPOSER which is a thin film paper-like thing with some traces on a few spot to switch some pins, and pick up a XEON chip to run on the socket 775 board. This will need a modded bios (you need to have that available for your motherboard, and know where to get one on the forums of the internet), the interposer, and a XEON cpu, and slight modification of the CPU socket to remove the keying that prevents a XEON cpu from being inserted into a mainstream board.
Why do this? XEON's were made for this with newer tech than the consumer chips available, and you can also overclock the snot out of these easily even on paltry motherboards (often, not always on basic boards, you don't want to blow the Voltage Regulation modules off the motherboard or cause a fire, slow computer is better than burning computer + burning house).
STEAM, Bethesda, and myself are not responsible if you blow up or kill your computer with using or mis-using this info, but the tools are out there.

Conversely, you can shop around at local shops for a used gaming computer, or look online, just make sure it works first. Otherwise, enjoy games your PC can run - which isn't this one.

You might be able to pick up an older video card fairly cheaply, but the mining craze might mean you'll be stuck at 720p with the card you can afford.
Pick up side work or more hours if you want a better PC, and cannot afford it. You could try this out on console, but your mod access would be limited and not nearly as full as the PC counterpart.

Dont' feel bad, even when OBLIVION (a game you can run well!) first came out (it uses an earlier version of this same game-engine, too), they had an OLDBLIVION mod for it so other's could run it with less capable PCs. It worked, too.
--Best of luck!

P.S. I picked up a Q-series chipset motherboard new for 20$ off amazon over a year ago, and dual core cpus are 5$, you can find used quad-cores for not too terribly much more than i paid for the motherboard, it might be something to help, but core2 anything won't really run this game well, they're just too old and not clocked high enough for the dense situations of downtown that can slow this game down even on modern consoles and computers unless they're high-end pricey stuff. Look around for a used 2xxx series i5 or preferrably i7 chip and motherboard (and ram if yours isn't ddr3, likely isn't), and upon seeing it work, pick it up and install it in your PC. 4xxx cpus in i5 or i7 moniker will work quite readily well with this game.

you probably can get it to "run"... but you could just look at pictures of the game while playing the soundtrack and it would probably be a similar experience.

the videos posted showing it working with a Core 2 Duo have the C2D paired with a GTX 750 TI. while being a low-mid tier card, the GTX 750 TI is as powerful as about 20 of your HD 5450's combined. you won't come anywhere near the performance in those videos.
