Playing Fallout 4 on a low end PC

[Pento]

Did anyone else play this game on an extremely low end PC or Laptop like me? If there are so please share the experiences(or the pain). It great to let it out you know?

My laptop is an "ancient" HP Pavilion g4 1111tx which is an office laptop and on top of that. it's 4 years old

Here is the spec

Intel Core i5-2410M @ 2.3 GHz
AMD Radeon HD 6470M (Intel HD Graphics Family)
8.00 GB of RAM

...I really need to buy a new one...

I play it on a laptop (Asus N56JN) with a GT840M, which is a low-end graphics card! Runs smooth when you optimise it :)!

Video gameplay from my notebook:

CPU : i7 4700HQ CPU @3.39 GHz
Memory : 8GB RAM
GPU : NVIDIA GeForce 840M 2GB
Samsung SSD 840 EVO 250 GB Solid State Drive (SSD)

Desktop w/
CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 640
RAM: 8GB
Video: AMD Radeon R7 260 w/2GB GDDR5
I've logged 241 hours in game, yet now, after having to wipe my drive and reinstall everything, the game refuses to run. Bethesda support simply points to my sub-standard specs and shrugs. They wont even acknowledge the 241 hours logged. Any ideas?

I have an ACER Aspire laptop with Intel i5 2450 (2.5 GHz), 4 Gb ram, GeForce GT 630M (1 Gb video ram), and I play with 20-30 fps.

♥♥♥♥ this dumb game. I wasted money on a game that doesn't even work and after 2 whole ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ years of looking I give up on this dumbass waste of time. Do yourself a favor and ask for a refund...

You eill not run it on ultra or will be running great. I had a friend with the same pc as you and he can't play this in good gfx and good fps.

[supernova091]

wait how did you get it to run as all i need is a boost of 0.1 GHz for it to run yet it doesn't launch btw i'm on a dell inspiron its specs are:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3210M CPU @ 2.50GHz
Ram: 8.00 GB
64 Bit operating system

I have a desktop core2quad (2.6gh) 4gb ram with a GeForce 750 ti, Windows 10.

And a laptop with i5(first gen) 8gb ram but Intel graphics, Windows 10.

Any hope for me play fallout 4?

I mean you might be able to run it (though probably not) but the second you get to any dense urban areas you're ♥♥♥♥♥♥ (like most medium end pc's).

Honestly you're not missing much and would probably be better off with fallout new vegas or even fallout 3 if you can get it to run reliably.

[SeriousCCIE]

Yeah I think I would focus on new vegas or fallout 3. When I played that, I had a core 2 duo and the real bottleneck was my video card, which was an ATI 1950XTX. I couldn't run the game at 1920x1200 at the time without causing a huge drop in performance (like at noon near Rivet City by the bridge -- the lighting and shadows caused a severe slowdown. But dang did it look good as a slideshow; it still impresses me the level of detail the game had sometimes)

Your CPU and GPU would be pretty awesome for those games. You also will now benefit from a lot of guides that discuss how to optimize performance in those games, like enabling multicore cpus to help speed things up and so on; a lot of that sort of tweaking was discussed or introduced a while after the game came out, and many people that played them originally never got to benefit from the tweaks that came around later.

It may be that you can get the same benefit from FO4 later, but the fact is the game is quite taxing on even modern hardware -- and modern hardware runs fallout 3 and NV very well.

i personally can't run it, though while i am slowly saving for a stronger pc, i am fairly occupied these days, and don't have alot of income as far as cash is concerned.

"Yes I know "old post" and all, but anyways" I'm running it on a desktop with
CPU: AMD FX 4300
GPU: Radeon RX580 8 GB
MB: ASROCK 970M PRO3
RAM: 12GB
and its playable 90% of the time, although I wouldnt mind having a 10 fps gain, running the game at all best performance settings and bordered windowed my performance is as follows
CPU: 80%
GPU: 22%
RAM:51%
FPS: 32
so overall I have a good setup however the only thing holding me back is my cpu, which is the only thing I haven't upgraded yet.
