This is very OT, but people with 21:9 displays who want to test the texture pack should try Ultra Widescreen Patches Updated. Seems much less buggy than other 21:9 mods I have tried, and works without Flawless Widescreen.

Lol. What's the recommended then? Next gen GPUs that haven't been released yet? 😂

its not mandatory. it is free dlc. you have to click download to get it. you can check in steam to not install it of you accidentally clicked on download.
Isn't that literally exactly what they did? Can't you opt in/out of the Hi-res pack at any time...

Ah it had an 83.6mb mandatory update lurking in amongst the gigabytes of meh. I went into the dlc options and unticked it. God knows how it got ticked I have no interest in 4k textures.

oh man i forgot how ugly fallout 4 looked in screenshots. I remember thinking it looked okay in motion, but Jesus does this highlight the Bethesda jank and questionable modeling (and lack of consistency while we're at it).
Some of these look pretty bad too - the detail and fidelity added looks fairly minor, and frequently like they just sharpened the hell out of an existing base texture.

I have a GTX980 and am easily able to still maintain 60+ FPS at 1440P. This pack did lower my frame rate though as I usually sit between 80 and 100 but now only 60-80.
I noticed a difference immediately as everything is more clear. These aren't super high res textures but the blurriness of the original textures is gone and things look much better to me.
The file size is ridiculous though. Goodbye Comcast data cap.

See this is what i have installed atm.
The vivid mods for all landscapes.
Water included.
And its the largest one.
This official one reminds me of skyrims where sure its there but already existing mods blow it away.

lol good luck pointing out which shots are using the high resolution textures and which aren't.
i tried to replicate scenes as close as possible.
is it worth the extra 50gb? nope. it's no good on a 970 either, which should be obvious anyway but i wanted to see for myself.
no cheating by looking at the filenames

Yeah plus the vivid textures are more efficient than vanilla so the game plays better. I've not even messed around with ENBs for it yet but a few clicks and it looks much better than vanilla. Just a pity the game never clicked with me. I'd love to get NV looking better than modded FO4. Much prefer it.

Wouldn't you be better off in downloading some high res texture packs mods? I doubt they'll be anywhere as big and probably look better.

My hard drive space is worth more than that extremely minor difference. Good grief.

Just spent a couple of hours downloading this. End results are disappointing and I barely notice the difference at 1080p
Definitely.
I can see the difference that the pack makes but it's not worth the size at all. Mods will be better.
doesn't run on a 970?...or is performance just very low because of the 3.5GB VRAM?
My gaming PC has fallen by the wayside these past couple years so it's not like I could run this anyways, but I really expected something more. These screens are obviously much better than what I'm used to seeing on my One, but its not leaps and bounds better than what I've been seeing on high end rigs since the game came out.
Same problem here. Any ideas guys?

going off the screens posted so far what the fuck did Beth even do?
Like, there's mods that do better work and have been out for a long time.

peeps have moved on from 1080, we are now looking at 1440 and 4k screens. Just FYI.

I dunno. The few pictures I'm seeing where it looks like a difference; it looks like there is DOF differences (between the shots) that have actually changed things as opposed to textures.

Probably just uploaded uncompressed textures.
*sigh*
There definitely is a small difference (hint:lamppost), but it is very underwhelming. The file size and new system requirements are exaggerated. Seriously why the 6c/12t i7? A 1080 makes at least some sort of sense (for 4k)

How can it be 55Gb in size and still look shit?

At best it looks a little sharper and less compressed but its not exactly a night and day improvement anywhere. Just seems like uncompressed versions of the already so-so texture work

GTX 1080.
I wonder if the staff at bethesda is like "oh fuuck it really is a shitty upgrade for the performance and HD space shit", or are they sincerely congratulating themselves over this? Why can modders always do these texture packs way better than them? It's not like "of course a texture mod made 7 years after the release is gonna look better" either, these things gets done pretty quick after the games release. I didn't like the game and it is in the top 5 biggest video game disappointments of all time for me so I'm naturally down on the game but damn.

Is there a chance that this pack may get released on PS4 PRO even with slightly toned donw version and staying at 1080p (no need to run this in higher resolution)?

That is pretty epic as far as misunderstandings go ...
They've already stated what's coming in the Pro patch.

Ok. I missed the details of the upcoming patch: http://www.polygon.com/2017/1/30/14439144/fallout-4-ps4-pro-support
The addition are good enough for the PRO.
I'm not seeing any obvious difference.
Granted, haven't played the game in a while. The pack is definitely installed, says so in FO4. My PC is definitely up to spec (i7 6700k, n1080 etc.).
So yeah, what a waste of space.
What's the easiest way to delete the pack? I want my gigs back.

Yep, the pack is a waste of space. Some objects are a little clearer, but it's not worth 58GB. World textures still looking low res.
