Fallout 4

Is getting a gtx 970 over the r9 390 worth it just to play Fallout 4?

[Kinda Bottlenecked]

Depends on how important that game is to you.

[AresKrieger]

I have hitching even with a 970 so don't know, I'd just wait honestly

It is kind of important but I will be playing many other games like skyrim and bo3. I will also be modding and adding texture packs.

If you are into texture packs and modding, the extra vram on the 390 will definitly help u out.

Amd runs bad on fallout 4 right now but do you think they will fix it soon because I can wait a little while. Besides, fallout 4 is just one of many games I plan to get.

everything runs bad on it there is no updates to fix FPS yet only update was for xaudio crashes.

Not everything, only consoles and AMD graphics cards. The 970 runs Fallout 4 faster than a Fury. I'd call that pretty damn good.

already 20 hours in i been watching the GPU usage some big towns will make GPU usage drop from 80% to 50% and go up and down for no reason which makes FPS drop massive for no reason its game issue for sure.

[Waterspear65]

So should I get a 970 to run fo4 pr wait and get an r9 390

Huh, that sucks. I know the 970 doesn't have and issue and I've heard the 960 runs smooth as well.

looks like even 980ti has frame rate drops from the comments on reddit.

That's because SLI isn't supported yet, or crossfire. That was a dick move by everyone involved not having day one support.

If you REALLY want FO4 today rather than in a day or two then the 970. If you can wait a day or two, the get the 390 - it's faster in 98% of games on the market

Get the 970

Amd drivers are shite

Agreed, and that's if they're released.

My 970 runs Fallout 4 like a dream on Ultra. No frame rate drops even after several hours.

I seriously wonder if half the "this game is shit rabble rabble rabble" comments around the net are more due to user error and system upkeep.

Hell my brothers Phenom II paired with a 970 runs the game almost flawlessly.

Wow, . Really late to the party mate. The problem is with AMD only, the 970 beats a Fury in fps playing Fallout 4 lol.

By the time AMD gets a driver out everybody would've already beaten the game lol.

If we're lucky we'll see a driver that makes the game playable, since I'm still waiting for the driver that makes Witcher crossfire properly I find myself struggling to be hopeful.

Wow if that's true I wouldn't have high hopes then. Ouch

I know lol. I saw that but I also have seen lots of complaints on the nvidia side of things which is what makes me wonder.

I've yet to test the game on the wife's AMD setup but I'll give it a go this weekend.
