Thanks! I'm checking around and it looks like I'm good. Apparently my processor can boost from 2.5GHz up to 3.5GHz. I assume I don't have to run anything and it would just do that automatically when I launch Fallout 4?
Sorry for these ridiculously dumb questions. This is one thing that googling doesn't really help for me, it just makes me more confused.

What kind of Nvidia specific effects are in this game? Hairworks, Physx, Hbao+?
Motherf....
I was *this* close to finishing my character creation and the game crashed. Had to dig in the event logs to find out it was the XAudio problem (Win10). So I either go through getting the VPN up and running again to get the beta patch or just say fuck it and wait until tomorrow. Probably the latter, I was never going to do much with the game tonight anyway.
Performance in the mirror seems.. choppy. Probably above 30, but it's hard to tell since there's not a lot of movement. EVGA Precision OSD isn't working and FRAPS apparently crashes the game right off... is there some other method of easily seeing my fps?
i7-2600K, GTX-680 2GB, 16GB RAM, running at 1440p. Vsync disabled to let Gsync do its thing (I'm in no danger of hitting the 90+ to have physics problems.. lol). I know I won't see excellent performance at max settings, it's a mix of high and medium, the only things turned up higher are the ones the tweak guide said didn't really have a performance cost. I'm hoping to get at least 45-50.. with Gsync that should at least feel pretty smooth.

What resolution? I'm rocking a phemom II and 7870 as well.

1080p.
I didn't really paid much attention to the framerates as I only took a peek once in a while. But what I remember is that in the vault the framerates are fluctuating between 50 and 60fps.
Great post. Please share more with us.

This is geared more towards GPU, so you should have no problem at all with that CPU.

I have been getting drops
(early location) down to 35-40fps when looking at particular spots around. Smh. It ran good up to this point...
Everything set at ultra except god rays.
I5 4690
GTX 970
16gb ram
near the factory

As soon as you see an area with lots of buildings and geometry it'll hammer the CPU.
My GPU usage plummets when I'm looking at dense settlements.
Thanks for the response, first person with a rig similar to mine running the game lol
I got drops to the 40's in the same spot with a 980Ti + 4690k @ 4.5ghz.
Probably. 560 ti is a bit above the PS4/XB1 as I recall, with the 7870 being way ahead.
I was worried about how it'd work on my laptop with a 940m, but this video is promising with a 840m in it. Not IDEAL by any stretch of the imagine, but possibly doable.
Just adjust Godrays and Shadow quality/distance and you should be good.

So does the game fall apart if you try to go higher than 60 fps like Skyrim? Hoping for a smooth G-Sync experience...

What's the general consensus on the Nvidia drivers 358.91 released recently?
Have you guys seen any differences before/after?

Should run pretty much ultra with the exception of godrays.

Anyone playing on a similar rig to this? If so, what is the performance/settings like?
- Intel Core i5-4670 3.4GHz CPU
- 8GB DDR3
- Nvidia 770GTX

Anyone know how a fx 8350 and r9 390 will do up against this game?
oh really? thats surprising i figured the recommended 780 meant i would be on the med side of performance

Don't know where to ask, hope I can get an answer here. I've been not able to connect to nvidia to download drivers. In the Nvidia geforce experience it says unable to connect. Anyone else having issues?
edit: nvm, just downloading from their website.

No. I just finished DLing.
Probably a super-niche issue, but If you have a Freesync monitor / compatible card then this game will lock at your monitors lowest possible Freesync refresh. You can avoid this by editing Fallout4Perfs in My Docs\My Games\Fallout 4
Change bTopMostWindow=1 to bTopMostWindow=0
Crucial bit: You then have to set that file to read-only. It will just set back to the old value after the game loads.
Not sure if Gsync would have issues similar? Probably not.

Getting weird performance. I am running 5930K@4.5GHz + SLI Titans X and cranked everything to the max @ 4K. Using just one card, around your home area, looking one direction I get 60fps and turning around it hits 20ish. What could be causing it? Someone has a good working SLI settings. The one about using FO3 SLI bits + defer rendering 2 doesn't work well and game keeps on crashing.
When I first started the game I was getting this weird lag while moving so I found out it was mouse lag. This should help anyone with the same problem. http://www.gamersnexus.net/gg/2178-remove-fallout-4-mouse-lag-acceleration-and-60fps-limit
Looks like a maaaybe?
My brother's getting it so I'll see how it runs on my laptop that way. I posted a video earlier and the 840m is a small step up from the 740m, while the 940m is a small step up from the 840m.

The key to eliminating the stutter is to wait for Stutter Remover on the Nexus. I believe that will require the script extender which isn't supposed to release until late this year or early next?

Got a refund on the PS4 version. It runs pretty well on my toaster! I think the CPU is holding it back because I get 35 FPS during certain areas. But it's never too bad. What impacts FPS the most besides God Rays?
Actually, it hits 3.5GHz only when 1 core is used. When 4 cores are used, the maximum boost is 3.3GHz, still plenty, as you have an i7.
It boosts whenever it is needed. For example, it probably won't while showing the boot logos of fallout 4. You don't have to do anything.

Just in case someone missed it, I made a 1080P/60 video of the game running on Ultra. Hop you like! I had a blast playing it.

Possible to run at 4K/30fps with a 970/3570K?
Picking it up tonight, just want to know what I can expect?

I'm going to be testing some downsampling 30 FPS lock setups on my 970 / 4790k setup tonight, so I'll let you know what I find. I'm not sure the "feel of 4GB" VRAM setup of the 970 is going to make it at 2160 or not.

Possible by reducing certain settings (especially god rays).
Huh, I'll wait for more impressions, then. Thanks.

Note, if you have a preorder on the PSN, Sony might cancel it so long as you do so before release time. They said they submitted my request and should receive the funds in my wallet by the end of the week.
