what gpu would run fallout 4 @ 1080p max 60+ fps

zack__ · Oct 4, 2015

I have just bought pre ordered fallout 4 but I am pretty sure my gpu cant handle the game at the settings I want. I would prefer ultra settings @ 60 fps I would prefer if the graphics card was not to expensive but I am flexible with my budget. Thanks

Since Bethesda is known to cater towards many people that have weaker graphics cards and integrated cards, I am going to assume a GTX 960 4GB should be able to run at ultra.

PNY GTX 960: ($229)

alot of people are saying 980 and fury x. LOL if you need that for 1080p at 60 fps then nvidia and amd need to step up there game. otherwise nobody will be able to play anything over 1080p resolution. i have a gtx 770 and i play the battlefron beta at 65-70 fps maxed out with a fx 6300. i think everyone is over exaggerating

Well that GTX 960 might be able to do it. You know what would really make sure of it? Spending $18 more and getting a much more powerful R9 290.

I would say a GTX 980 or equivalent ADM - FuryX/390x.

NerdIT :

lol, a fury X is far superior to a 980

NerdIT · Oct 10, 2015

jerdle :

I don't know AMD cards -I just know that a GTX 980 should be able to handle it - why i said equivalent /best AMD cards- that I know of... not a Nvidia vs AMD thread,,.

I doubt fallout will be as demanding as GTA...and thats 4k.. -and for the sake of argument. You can deduce approximate performance..

TNT27 · Oct 10, 2015

Im just hoping a heavily overclocked 750ti will run mostly high settings 1080p, or ultra @ 30fps

DSzymborski · Oct 10, 2015

Honestly, if playing Fallout 4 at a particular FPS/quality level is that important in your GPU selection, I would just wait until Fallout 4 is actually out. It's all guessing until there are solid release benchmarks.

ya im curently using a MSI R7 370 GAMING 4G Graphics Card and i can play battlefront beta at 60 max 1080p im just not sure if i need more power to run fallout

TNT27 · Oct 10, 2015

Nope, you will not. It will run fallout just fine, unless you later on you throw bunch of graphics mods on.

mlga91 · Oct 10, 2015

Until benchmarks are revealed no one will know, wait for them and then make a decision.

Bosaile1 · Oct 10, 2015

anything better than a 7870 or 7850 will run the game better than a PS4 and a Xbox one. 720p 30 fps. or 1080p 30fps. just depends on what CPU you have, if you have a 3rd gen i3 or lower i would recommend upgrading. A good quad core and a equivalent to a 7850 or 7870 should play it just fine.

Suzuki@1473780084@1473780163 · Oct 10, 2015

980 TI probably.

turbopixel · Oct 10, 2015

Fallout 4 graphics aren't high end, thats what the developers said. So, a high end graphics card is not needed to play it with high end graphics settings. The game is cross platform and they can't make two versions (low end console and high end pc) of the big world in the game. Thats why Witcher 3 on pc does look similar to console versions; they had same reason.

I think, a maximum of GTX 970 is needed to play Fallout 4 with ultra settings, 60 fps on 1080p. But only, if the cpu is not weak. Almost like Witcher 3. From the specs, GTX 780 or R9 290X is required and GTX 970 have similar performance (depending on the game).

Suzuki@1473780084@1473780163 · Oct 10, 2015

OP did say Max settings though. That's way above the Ultra preset in games. But sure, any mid end GPU will probably do just fine at 1080 60.

turbopixel · Oct 10, 2015

Ultra is known to be the maximum graphical settings in many games. So, I am speaking of maximum settings.

Suzuki@1473780084@1473780163 · Oct 10, 2015

Ýes as presets, but doesn't max the game out in a lot of titles, such as AA, etc.

turbopixel · Oct 10, 2015

Man then read my posting as maximum settings, instead the word "ultra". I AM SPEAKING OF MAXIMUM SETTINGS

NerdIT · Oct 19, 2015

I think its common knowledge that the terms MAX and ULTRA settings are interchangeable...? Right..anyways some games call it either or and some time both..

We mean "Cranked all the way up"..

I run Witcher 3 and Batman Arkham Knight @ 1080p 1920 x 1080 maxed out settings on a EVGA GTX 980 SC ACX 2.0 ..Overclocked to 1.5Ghz and 100Mhz VRAM increase.. I never dip below 50FPS in Witcher..period.. and Batman I dip down to 30-40 FPS when smoke effects are on and I'm burning rubber in the batmobile while shooting at baddies...but flying around and street fighting I stay right at 60 FPS.. When I turn the smoke effects off -which is nVidia proprietary btw- I get about the same as witcher 3 - mostly at 60 sometimes ~50 at lowest. And when it does drop in either game it scales down and back up smoothly.

The point? Fallout 4 will be less intensive then both those games. So I would say anything at the 970SLI/980 performance level and up you will be fine.

mlga91 · Oct 19, 2015

Why argue with speculations? No one knows how well a unreleased game will perform.

turbopixel · Oct 19, 2015

True. On the other side, specs are officially known. We don't know, but we can expect something.

Hi all - just as a unofficial result ive been playing fallout 4 for about 10 hrs or so - i installed fraps and set display settings to ultra runs flawlessly on the gtx 770 2gb - lowest fps ive seen with 10+ raiders firing at myself was 54 for a split second most of the time its above 60 think the average was 59.2 or something il post a fraps log if i get a chance. oh and im running stock msi gtx 770 so would undoubtedly run better if i tweaked it. but i don't need to yet .

personal opinion and general consensus on several forums the 970- 980 series are overkill for most games no where near full capacity is used unless your 4k ing multi monitoring and benchmarking half the time. if you have a gtx 770 id stick with it until the next gen gpus come out as its pointless going up 1 tier in the gpu world. unless you have money sat there burning a hole lol
