Fallout 4. GPU advise.

[SmileyHau]

Hi. I currently playing Fallout 4.

Before i bought the game. I using game debate to chec for my system settings graphic. Is says low or medium settings. When i bought the game. The game detected my hardware and says i can play high settings.

Well sometimes i play high settings i would get some frame drop to 30 to 40.

I currently playing with.

AMD A10 6800k with Cosair cooler

Nvidia GTX 680 (2GB Vram)

12GB Ram.

FSP 800Watt.

If i upgrade my GPU to 980ti (6GB)

Would my game set to ultra with 60FPS all the way without upgrading my CPU?

Need help for this situation. Does anyone know? Thanks.

Fallout 4 is CPU demanding, so no. You'll have a bottleneck with that CPU.

Replace PSU and CPU

Your gonna need to upgrade you CPU unfortunately. Fallout is VERY CPU intensive, so it wont help you much.

[ShadowCaptain]

SNIP

 

Your CPU is the the issue, and a GPU upgrade will help too ofc

[SmileyHau]

And yes. I playing on 1080P.

[App4that]

Resolution won't help you unfortunately. If you want to play at ultra settings at 60fps you'll need a i5, and a banging i5 at that. My 4690k overclocked to 4.6GHz sits at 60% load playing Fallout 4.

[SmileyHau]

Alright thank you guys so much. To upgrade my CPU. I need to buy almost new set of PC.

Need to change AMD mobo o Intel for i5 4690 will settle? And PSU for which brand is best?

Should i go for 4690k o 4690?

You need 2x TITAN X and water cooling to get 60fps mate....

 

joking, get rid of that CPU and mobo and get yourself a nice i5. Then you can sell the 680 on ebay and buy either a gtx 970 if you want to stay nvidia or an AMD Sapphire 390 8GB (recommended) if you want a bit more performance for the same price.

 

Hope that helps you.

[App4that]

SeaSonic is a good brand for power supplies. If you go for a 4690 you might as well get a k spec and overclock it. But you will need a Z97 motherboard and cooler to do so. Quite the investment but worth it IMO.

My stock 4770k sits at +- 35% F4 loves dem treads

 

Yes cpu is the problem here

There's no need to sell the 680, it's a decent GPU, it's just his processor which is the problem.

I posted peak usage, 80% of the time I'm around 35% too. And that 80% depends on where you spend your time. Though a i7 does effect minimum fps, but not as much as RAM speed.

 

But that's a story for another time.

[SmileyHau]

Alright guys. But overclocking can be scary due to lifespan of the hardware and i not very good at overclocking stuff. Never overclock before.

Would it be good if i get.

i5 4690 wih MSI B85 G43 Gaming Mobo? If don't plan to overclock.

Just wanna run games at 1080p with 60FPS. Ultra settings. GPU wise i can upgrade in future.

I have a Samsung SSD 250GB.

Always stay on single GPU. Peolle say single GPU is always better than SLI so in future i would get 980ti.

[App4that]

If you're not going to overclock go for the 6600 and a 1151 socket motherboard. You'll need the added speed of the DDR4 RAM with Fallout 4.

 

For 1080p the Nitro 390 is the best GPU for the money you can buy.

TBH i would reccomend picking up a cpu with the ability to SLI, get an i5, and then buy another 680 and sli those bad boys

SLI is always better unless it is not supported. SLI has come a long way since a couple years back when you'd get epic stutter on pretty much every game.

Id go with their suggestion and replace your cpu and gpu. But take into consideration your budget and the usage. if you are not gonna overclock go with the skylake series but if you are in a tight budget go with the i5 4690 because you can reuse ur 12gigs of ddr3 ram. and jumping into a DDR4 in a tight budget is not a good idea , since ddr4 are kinda expensive as of right now

40us, that's not too expensive and all you need for Fallout 4 is 8g.

[VagabondWraith]

Buy an i5 and a 390 GPU. You'll be set.

[SmileyHau]

I think i going get skylake version.

My budget able to hit $600 USD.

I5 6600 skylake with

Either MSI H170 Gaming m3 or Pro

DDR4 8GB enough for fallout 4?

NZXT Red casing.

But which PSU should i get since in future i wanna get 980ti 6GB.

[App4that]

8g is enough for Fallout 4, get a 750w Seasonic PSU and you'll have tons of headroom for upgrades.

Well you must take note that each people value money in a different way. You might be a baller to say that.

[SmileyHau]

AMD R390x 8GB GPU better or 980ti 6GB is better?

I think if i go for AMD GPU might as well i go for AMD mobo with FX 8370? Seems cheaper. But alot says that AMD tend to heat up much fast and higher than Intel CPU.

You can mix and match CPUs and GPUs. I have an Intel CPU and a AMD GPU, Nitro 390 for the win. But the AMD CPUs do pretty well with Fallout 4 so if you want to go that route you won't get the return of a Intel CPU but it's your choice.

Really? Find a performance set of DDR3 ram for under 40us. I'll wait.
