mind saying what you used to get SLI going? I'm assuming NVidia inspector.. but I'm curious to know what bits..

Was glad to see Digital Foundry's Analysis. I have a 2012 rig with a 2GB GTX680, 16gig of ram, SSDS in RAID0 and a Core i7. I was on the fence about which version to buy because I like the idea of playing the PS4 version on the couch with my GF, but the performance differences even with a relatively dated rig seem big enough to warrant the Steam version.
Pretty excited, got my headphones all ready and am updating my drivers. Its been a little while since I've bought a big PC game. Gonna be real real cool.

No bits, just select AFR2.

Why am I having screen tearing with Gsync? Running the game fullscreen, weird...

980 Ti
i5 4460
8 GB RAM
Was hitting solid 60 on Ultra @1080p until Lexington, the city where the big factory is. I get wildly inconsistent performance there. I think I'll just put up with it rather than drop the settings because outside of that specific place it's been fine.

It has the options there. I open the launcher, go to options > resolution.
Aren't you having the option to 1600x900?
About as nicley as it could get with this method I'm using. This isnt even meant to be used as an SLI method, since its intended use is to measure potential scalability for a 3d app in a multi gpu config.
I'm sure an official profile will come around soon.

Hey 670 and i5 3570k users, how ya holding up?
Haven't noticed any tearing but yeah it feels oddly juddery for Gsync to be working at times.
That's me. Still downloading the game. (._. )

Cool, lemme know how your performance is? I had to go with the PS4 version because I was worried about VRAM limitations causing me issues, having only 2GB...

game does not use more than 1,7 or so at ultra apparently @ 1080p.
Wish I could play. 3 more hours, blah!

How? I'm on a 980ti 2500k @4.3 and am getting constant drops to 45fps in Sanctuary. Are you playing on all ultra?

Two quickies, about 70-80% GPU usage, 2560x1440. Everything maxed except Shadow Quality on High, Shadow Distance on High and Godrays on Low. We'll see what happens when I get to some heavier parts. Also running borderless windowed with RTSS locking the fps at 60, had some stutter before I did that.
6700k 4.6GHz
GTX 780ti - 358.91 drivers

i'm playing on 3440x1440 on ultra everything @ 60. occasional drops
gsync helps a lot of course
borderless window for the 21:9 resolution workaround
980ti sli (but sli isn't enabled yet)

AMD 7950 running on all high settings at 1080p...performance hasn't been great so far. Dips to 40 fps at times during normal exploration, and it's gone down to 20-25 in a fight in one of the interiors. Honestly haven't looked much into the settings, so I'll tweak some tonight.
Im pretty happy with how the game is running on my 8350FX+970GTX combo. 50+fps at ultra, would be better if I disabled TXAA too which is complete overkill on my 24"display. The game itself looks sooo much better in person even though the lip sync is way off.
Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised by how well the game looks in motion. Big reminder from me even considering I play a ton of 3DS games and should be used to bad trailers/screenshots.
What sort of scaling are you getting with that? When I tried it earlier it scaled negatively (to around 25fps on two 970s)
This is what ended up working for me (also no bits):
1440 is at around 23002600 MB for me (in the wasteland).

Hey everyone,
I am completely new to PC gaming and I need a bit of help. I never knew "VRAM" was even a thing until I tried to play Arkham Knight on my laptop. I have 8gb RAM, but apparently only 4gb VRAM, so even on pretty mediocre settings after the patch I couldn't get a locked 30fps on Arkham Knight.
Specs:
NVIDIA Geforce GTX 860m
1920x1080
Graphics Memory (assuming this is VRAM?): 4,172 mb
RAM: 8192 mb
Processor: Intel Core i7-4710HQ CPU @ 2.5GHz (8CPUs), ~2.5GHz
Could I play on close to max settings? I would probs prefer to get this on xbox one, but I would prefer to stay the hell away from those FPS drops that the other thread showed.

Thanks. I think maybe 2180p will fit in 4GB, though being a 970 it may not be enough room. May need to bump up to a 980ti I guess...

Haven't been following this thread. I get stuttering when looking around. Anyone figured this out yet? Capped at 60 didn't help
4gb VRAM is pleeeeeny of VRAM for most all games not named Arkham Knight. You should be fine.
what settings were you running with that kind of performance?

I can't even get the game to start. Latest NVidia drivers, Downloaded the update, even downloaded the beta patch. Won't get past the initial startup window. I hit play and nothing happens.
Great to hear!

Thanks! The only other thing that worries me is my GHz, especially considering I don't know what the hell it does. It looks like mine is lower than the minimum requirements.
Correct everything on ultra except God ray on medium. In sanctuary right noe I don't go before 55fps while running. What resolution you're playing at?

How's the cpu usage for the game? I'ma assume extremely high?
My 5 year old CPU would die under this...

Yeah, just noticed that. 2.5GHz is definitely on the low end of processor speed. That actually might be the bottleneck holding you back.
EDIT: From all indications, the game is more GPU dependent than CPU dependent, so it might work for you. Instead of telling you to try it over the Xbox One version though, I'd google around to see if you can find others playing the game with this same processor. Might give you a more definitive answer. 2.5 GHz definitely is low, but it may work. Its really hard to say.

So I'm guessing if my GPU usage is much higher than CPU usage, it means it's the bottleneck? Specs are Zotac 770 2GB, i7 4770K (with turbo boost to 3.9ghz), 16GB RAM and Win 7. GPU usage hovers about 80-90%, while CPU usage tends to stay quite low, with some threads going up to maybe 50-60%.
How does the game run for anyone else with similar specs? Difficult to gauge for me, because of the terrible stuttering, while some scenes are very intensive (e.g. the opening run to the vault has dips to 38fps).

Runs ok on my 290, lowest I have seen on Ultra is 45 - 50 fps looking at the wasteland when you first exit the vault. I don't suspect things would get much worse than that scenario. That is also with 90 FOV.
What would be the things that cause most impact in performance? I put shadows on high, but it also has lighting and godrays settings for example...
However does anyone know how to change the third person FOV?

I have a 6 year old phenom and it's running the game fine.
Not 60 fps ultra fine, course.

Try holding down the button which enables third person/first person and moving your mouse back. The same technique is used on the ps4.

It's paired with OCed 7870, running 40-60 fps on high/ultra on the first scenes/vault. I had to go to work when I just managed to get out of the vault this morning.
I'll give more detailed report later tonight.

Ahahahahahaha!!! I've seen way better looking games with lower minimum requirements. Is this a joke?
Haven't seen any recent posts about this, but is there a way to adjust the first person FOV? Is there a console command, maybe an .ini tweak? The default FOV looks horrible. I have no idea if it's in the settings options or not, but I'd assume no.
Edit: Think I found it. If anyone else needs instructions:
> G:\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4
> Fallout4_Default.ini
> fDefaultWorldFOV=90

Thanks!
You mentioned phenom, and that's what I'm rocking as well, 4 core AMD Phenom II. My graphics card is newish, about a year and a half old.

I can go further back in third person, but I mean even the furthest third person angle is still more narrow than my 90 FOV in first person, which is a bit weird.

So would you recommend someone with two 970s (planning to play @ 1440p) to not use it and wait as this may take from the experience more than it adds?
