About damn time!

 

[robotrock]

damn if fallout 4 actually performs the way it should on a PS4 pro and not how it does on a standard ps4...damn

The specs list a GPU with 8GB of VRAM. Here comes the textures, folks.

What the fuck.

 

[hwy_61]

That's cool. Did Skyrim SE receive any pro enhancements?


edit:

Hold the fucking phone...58GB download?

 

[RPGamer92]

Would rather have had a 1080p 60FPS update.

 

[sensui-tomo]

did they say 58 gb for the texture pack? Please tell me i read that wrong.

 

[Inuhanyou]

That's cool. Did Skyrim SE receive any pro enhancements?

native 4K and slightly better draw distance at the cost of some FPS.

Would rather have had a 1080p 60FPS update.

The CPU was never going to allow that. Its a pipe dream.

 

[adamsapple]

Hopefully the Pro patch comes with load time and performance improvements as well

 

[Broadbandito]

PS4 Pro, the gift that keeps on giving

 

[--R]

RX 490? What?

 

[Infest]

"Note: To utilize the High-Resolution Texture Pack, make sure you have an additional 58 GB of available and that your system meets/exceeds the recommended specs below."

On top of the already installed 40GB?! wut

 

[BigEmil]

People are more likely to buy this with more graphics. If it was just 60fps update people wouldn't go out of their way to buy this as much. More graphics sells more especially to the casual market, also this is Bethesda they are known not to prioritise performance on consoles and such

 

[LostDonkey]

An ADDITIONAL 58GB. Say what now.

 

[patapuf]

I'm really courious how these highe texture look if they recommend 8GB of VRAM for them.

 

[Renekton]

AMD Radeon RX 490 8GB

🤔

 

[Pankratous]

Excellent Pro update! Exactly what I'd want.

 

[LordDash]

An ADDITIONAL 58GB. Say what now.

Yeah, they lost me there.

 

[Fujinn]

They forgot the . on 5.8gb?

...right?

 

[hwy_61]

fuckin hell man. WHAT ABOUT OUR DATA CAPS

goddamn it

 

[Josemsar]

RX 490? Welppp. Bethesda doing Bethesda things...

 

[Klart]

Yes! I waited with the Nuka Cola DLC just for this!

 

[Heckler456]

Awesome. Time to get back into this game.

 

[DarkestHour]

Awesome! That 58GB surely has to be the entire game + pack.

GTX 1080 8GB/AMD Radeon RX 490 8GB

One is not like the other

 

[ISee]

Additional 60GB?
Also there is no RX 490 WTF?!

 

[YuriLowell]

What about the vive support?

 

[leeh]

58GB? Now that's a high-res texture pack. Holy moly.

 

[Ashtar]

I'd think they'd want to sure up the fps, never played the ps4 version but the Xbox frame rate was atrocious at times

 

[Zojirushi]

8GB VRAM and I'm out unfortunately (980ti)

 

[Burritoad]

58 GB? Good lord.

 

[Big_Al]

If the high resolution pack is 58gb I'm very interested to see how good it looks. Very happy to see them do it though.

 

[Phatosaurus]

It's nice that they're releasing high resolution textures, but honestly if you're on PC then you would being your self a disservice not to use mod textures instead. They take up far less space and they use less VRAM.

 

[Guevara]

No joke, this could be the game that sells me a Pro.

 

[Conkerkid11]

lmao at the recommended specs and install size.

Holy fuck Bethesda. What are you doing.

 

[Jakartalado]

What is this RX 490 Bethesda?

I'm curious....

 

[supernormal]

Those recommended specs...

 

[DarkestHour]

8GB VRAM and I'm out unfortunately (980ti)

I bet it will run perfectly fine. I have a 980 and not worried at all.

 

[StereoVsn]

Heh, note the CPU requirement. It's a 6-core / 12 thread chip.

 

[Slayven]

Between this and doom Beth says fuck your data caps and harddrive

 

[Vintage]

How's PC performance now? I remember it running like shit in cities on GTX970 on launch. I've heard good things about survival mode, might try it with texture pack if my pc can handle.

 

[KainXVIII]

58gb + GTX 1080 8GB/AMD Radeon RX 490 8GB / 8GB+ Ram
Damn, not for my rig =(

 

[fabricated backlash]

58 GB.... the fuck? Surely that includes the game itself.

 

[Vexii]

Supersampling?

 

[Conkerkid11]

Your 970 isn't Bethesda's recommended 1080 though.

Game doesn't perform any better than it did at launch. Absolutely not gonna perform better with whatever the hell this 60GB texture pack is.

 

[KojiKnight]

Remember skyrim's hd texture pack? Prepare for disappointment folks.

58 gb of disappointment.

 

[Jakartalado]

native 4K and slightly better draw distance at the cost of some FPS.

Let's be honest....

The trade is for a stable 30 FPS for occasional 1-2 fps loss during heavy scenes that does not persist for long.

Still a major upgrade

 

[Phatosaurus]

How's PC performance now? I remember it running like shit in cities on GTX970 on launch. I've heard good things about survival mode, might try it with texture pack if my pc can handle.

Well I can max it out at 60FPS with a 1050Ti, 60FPS, so the performance is pretty good.

Edit: Though I am using a couple mods to increase performance. Such as a retexture mod that's the same resolution as current ultra textures but less VRAM intensive, another mod that dynamically alters shadow draw distance to be dynamic, and another mod to "fix" ultra god rays.

 

[Renekton]

Heh, note the CPU requirement. It's a 6-core / 12 thread chip.

Makes sense in a way. Fallout 4 scales strangely well with memory bandwidth, and the HEDT (like 5820K) runs on quad channel.

 

[LOLCats]

RX 490? What?

Thats what i was going to post.
