Reccomended hardware to play on max ultra?

[Elon's 15th Bastard]

My setup:
32 gig 4000 hrtz ddr4 Ripjaws V
i9 9900kf
Nvidia Gigabyte 2070 non-super graphics card
Installed on Samsung 970 M.2 drive
Acer XF270HU 144 hrtz display
Masterliquid ML120L V2 RGB

can my setup run the game on ultra without issues? I've tried running it on high and it starts buffering randomly while I'm running through forests or Boston.

i dont think even a NASA computer can run a bethesda game without issues

even Bethesda can't run Bethesda games flawlessly

What if I capped my In-game frame rate?

I have R7 2700X, 2060Super, 16GB RAM and can run at Ultra with Mods no problem.

You don't need to say 'Non-Super' we'll know from the lack of the word 'Super'.

how smooth is the experience though? my problem is that I get occasional stuttering and my fans get hella loud. I can hear them over my headset.

I lol'd at this. While your statement makes sense, logic doesn't always prevail on these forums and sometimes you have to draw a picture (literally).

Better than people, when asked about their specs say stuff like:
i5
8gb
1050

Mutant Stargoat, your system should run the game just fine. but it's a buggy game, it has to run at 60 FPS or it stutters and it needs a little help.

mods can help this game. if you want to check it out, i wrote a guide for setting up a good mod framework for fallout 4. it recommends you install certain mods to be able to get that performance out of the game that you're looking for.

but based on your report, you're going to be wanting to run things like F4SE, HIGH FPS PHYSICS FIX, BAKA SCRAP HEAP, PREVISIBINES REPAIR PACK, BUFFOUT 4 and the like.

but then you should be able to run on full settings anywhere. the only setting you need to always have disabled is the one called WEAPON DEBRIS because that setting causes constant crashes.

and what about DSR? Is there an upscaling setting you'd recommend?

Fallout 4 broke the mould, even on PS4, it's never even crashed for me, unlike 3 and New Vegas, NV being the worst sometimes you'd get a nice 5 hours before it crashed others it'd crash 5 times within an hour.

why aren't you special

Apparently, I thought everyone experienced the same game.

Look at the hardware % loads using MSI Afterburner or similar app. If the gpu is at 100% then that's the bottleneck. If it's a long way under 100% then the single thread performance of the 9900 is probably the bottleneck.

The cpu will never be anywhere near 100% total load as FO4 can't effectively use more than 2 or 3 cores. And as windows likes shuffling these games around on all cores you would probably see relatively low loads on all cores, not 100% on just a few. Nonetheless the cpu is running at max throughput.

There is graphics guide on the geforce.com website which is worth looking at. Some graphic effects consume a lot more gpu on max but make no discernible image quality difference.

the only fallout games that don't crash every other second are the 2D ones
