i bought fallout 4 and skyrim se neither worked

[zombygunner]

i have a i5 gtx 3050 10400f 2.9 ghs 16 mb hopefully thats enough info and skyrim and fallout 4 window wouldnt fit my 4k tv screen. mabey its my tv but oblivion worked fine without having to mess with my pc settings, valheim works fallout nv works the hunter cotw works so why do theses two not work without me doing something to my files

You realise you are posting in the wrong forums, this is for wolfenstein.

When you repost, could you explain the issue better too, like when you say it does not fit your screen what do you mean? Are you sure you have the correct resolution set in your game etc.

whoops sorry i just got out of work so i jumped on to quickly and posted.

Rtx 3050 will strugle on 4k with most games , look at benchmarks. Best to keep playing on 1080 p or 1440

i5 = not good ( the number is a indicator what the core is useful for. i5 = officework, i7 midtier gaming, i9 high tier gaming and visual work)
gtx 3050 not good (the last 2 digits are and indicator what the GPU is useful for. **50 = officework, **60 Lowtier gaming, **70 midtier gaming, **80+ hightier gaming, first Two inbdicate the Generation or how "new" they are. 30 being the latest but beign repalced by 40's soon)
2.9 ghs, i assume you mean Ghz, = not good.
anything below 3.2 i would not recommend for anything more than Lwotier gaming. 3.2-.3.6 i would put in mditier, anything above is hightier and visual work (animations and CGI)

16mb, is very not good. youre talking Ram i assume.
in this you need to add the generation. DDR2 is office, DDR3 is old so Low to Mditier, DD4 is the new standart and i think DDR5 might be a thing already.
16mb would be below lowtier, since the early 2000's we measure RAM in Gb. so if you still mingle with actual megabyte Ram, youre screwed.

what i mean with Lowtier, midtier etc is this:

lowtier: it runs but damn son, is ti worth it.
Midtier: it runs, it may even accept some option on High or Ultra, but dont expect stable or more than 60fps on a good day and a old game.
Hightier: you game for a living, your PC is worth more than most peoples cars and if your FPS drop below 120 you burn the whole setup.

Fallout and Skyrim (even the SE version) are bethesda games and as such NOTORIUSLY ♥♥♥♥♥♥ optimized. you would need plenty of Mods to get them in "normal" working condition and even then, looking in the wrogn direction in Fallout 4 means Stutters.


Now forcing your computer who is probably bought because it was cheaper than the rest and its parts sounded similar enough. probably with some silly "gaming ready!" advertisement, to force a BETHESDA game of all things on a 4K TV screen... well..
imagine a Pony dragging a Steel Tanktrap from WW2 Normandy with attached extra arms in random directions, up a Hill on 2 hooves.

thats roughly what youre trying to do here.
its not meant as a Bash of your setup, but your computer would already struggle running games from that period, but also some of the worst optimized games of the Period AND forced them onto a 4k Screen.
there might be ways to make it "work" but it wont be an easy journey and im tempted to say: dont even try.

please note that i too had a long day and just quickly jumped in here, i have no professional education with computers, and i havent bought new pc parts since 2008 so im hella out the loop. none of the things i said will be professionally confirmed, its a lot more complex than that. but its a very simple explanation as to why you are having problems.

I'd recomedn upgrading the entire rig for fallout 4 and SKyrim. sooner or later the moddign community will lure you in and you run 400 mods at once turning either or both of those games to entirely new games with 4k graphics and Raytracing. and then your current PC will burst into flames.

While a nice reply, this is a slightly outdated info, it was more true in the earlier years. You can totally game fine on a modern I5, For instance even a newer gen i3 will out perform an older i7 etc.

As an example PC gamer called the i5 12600k the best cpu for gaming in 2021
https://www.pcgamer.com/intel-alder-lake-core-i5-12600k-review-benchmarks-performance/

For gaming It outperforms the previous gen i9 11900k which was more than twice the price. (remember this is an i5 vs an i9, not even the i7)

Also here are some actual benchmarks for the users cpu
https://www.techspot.com/review/2032-intel-core-i5-10400/

It is more than fine for gaming.

gtx 3050 not good (the last 2 digits are and indicator what the GPU is useful for. **50 = officework, **60 Lowtier gaming, **70 midtier gaming, **80+ hightier gaming, first Two inbdicate the Generation or how "new" they are. 30 being the latest but beign repalced by 40's soon)

Kind of, though again the generation can play a part, also what resolution you want to game at. like a gtx 3050 is faster than a gtx970 etc and a gtx970 can still handle most games at 1080p at 60fps (granted some game will need their detail levels lowering).

However for 4k gaming, while a 3050 can do it, it would need to have the game details turned down, even then your not going to hit 60, though different people can put up with different frame rates and some games perform better at different fps rates.

Again overall kind of right, however again slightly outdated info, this was also more the earlier years to a point, A newer cpu at a lower ghz can outperform an older much higher ghz processor.

16mb, is very not good. youre talking Ram i assume.

They clearly meant gb, as they are running an I5.

Fallout and Skyrim (even the SE version) are bethesda games and as such NOTORIUSLY ♥♥♥♥♥♥ optimized. you would need plenty of Mods to get them in "normal" working condition and even then, looking in the wrogn direction in Fallout 4 means Stutters.

just to say from op's other posts, it is less of a performance issue and more of a overscan/underscan issue where the game is not running full screen properly without fiddling with settings. (having borders, or not quite showing the full screen etc).

Yeah 3050 is not designed for 4K gaming.
You can play it,at low settings,low fps but what is the point.(unless you play very old games like FO NV).And this assumes you have the 8GB VRAM version.

Difference between an I-5 and I-9 is not much in most games perfomance you can look up benchmarks.
Fps difference at 4k is even lower.
Even a recent 10-12 gen I-3 can be useful.

Usually GPU XX 30 or below is for office work,watching moves at 4k eg.GTX 1030.

XX 50 is for light recent gaming.Usually RTX 3050 is more for 1080p,maybe lower settings 1440p games.Very slightly stronger than a GTX 1660(my GPU) which mostly intended for high settings(not ultra/max) 1080p on 60fps back in 2019.

.Certanly not 4k 60fps which has 4 times more pixels than 1080p and much higher VRAM requirement too.

The 4GB VRAM RTX 3050 version might be unable to max out even 1080p on some games.Few games need more than 6GB VRAM to max out on 1080p like DE.

3070 is more likely for max settings 1440p,but can do 4K gaming well but it can have VRAM issues in certain games at high settings.
