I'd rather have a stable 30 fps at 1080p. Far Harbor is a nightmare to play on the PS4. Now I bet it'll be worse..
I am expecting this "high res" pack to be as terrible as the Skyrim one. Hopefully it's actually scratch-made 2 or 4k textures and not just the same textures upscaled to 4k and called "high res".
It's Bethesda though, so I'll keep my expectations in check.
It depends if they meant speed or number of cores. 5820 is a 6-core chip vs 4 on 6700k.I think a 6700k can hold with a 5820k.
How much space do the original textures use?
58 GB is only 4x 14.5GB.
The whole game, right now, with all the DLC, is just under 35GB.
Recommended PC Specs
Windows 7/8/10 (64-bit OS required)
Intel Core i7-5820K or better
GTX 1080 8GB/AMD Radeon RX 490 8GB
8GB+ Ram
Yeah, 58 gb sounds about right for me. Textures take up alot of space on disc, so like someone said, if you have 15 gb textures (which isnt crazy at all for an open world game) and then just take one step up (512*512 textures into 1024*1024 etc) you are sitting at 60 gb. Cant ask for highres textures and variation in the world, and then not be prepared to store all that data somewhere
The textures take 58gb by themselves? That is fucking ludicrous and makes no sense.
Yeah... I'm not sure where I read it but in hindsight it probably wasn't a credible source.Of course not. You must be confused.
The fps is definitely not rock solid on standard PS4. We have no idea what Pro will do to framerate yet.
Overall, communication about Pro benefits has been very short on details, so I can see you missing info that's out there. But in this case, logic should've told you it didn't make sense. Until patched, old games run exactly the same on Pro as on standard PS4. So Fallout 4 couldn't run worse unless it was patched...but this thread is about an announcement of that very patch coming in the future.Yeah... I'm not sure where I read it but in hindsight it probably wasn't a credible source.
My thoughts exactly.People complaining about 58 GB for HD textures are getting on my nerves.
This is an optional download for people with the highest of the high-end rigs to take advantage of. It will help ensure that the game will still look decent even many years from now. Bethesda should be celebrated for actually putting this shit out and making it available to everyone who can run it.
It's for serious PC's, the highest of the high end. It's for GTX 1080's and newer GPU's that haven't even been announced yet. That's why it's an optional download.
The Daily Bethesda:I don't really get why the CPU and GPU recommendation is so high just for a texture pack. Texture resolution has very little impact on performance as long as you have enough video memory. There are much less powerful cards than the 1080 with 8 gbs of VRAM that can still run FO4 really well.
As for the CPU, this game has always had awful issues with draw-calls bogging down performance. With my 5820K at 4.4 ghz the game drops into the 40 fps range in some areas regardless of resolution.

So a 4790k and 1080 isn't enough to run this?

How about non-shit fps on PS4 pro?
That'd be nice.
I'm sure my GTX 970 will be fine with the HD textures at 1080p
Someone will make a compressed version that will look just as good at a quarter the size and run better.
Wouldn't surprise me.
The thing is, if that screenshot is any indication of what it will look like it doesn't seem to be very good at all. A lot of those textures are still really low quality.
is it just me or does the image textures looks pretty bad?
I have a stock i5 2500k and had very little problems. The draw-call issue comes from the shadows mostly. There's a mod that fixes that.

Do we know when this is coming out? I still have my modded Fallout 4 installed so this would be a nice boost for it.

But does this update actually make the game good? Like NV good?
if you try hard enoughDoes cosmetic surgery replace spinal cords?
They are already really, reaaaally compressed. And no, the whole point with the higher resolution pack is that they are just that. If you scale them down just one step its the same as before (assuming 15 vs 60 gb as in my example before)
Just look at the upper left quadrant of the screenshot.
