Fallout 4 is an odd game. It doesn't look at all impressive – I mean, just look at the above screenshot. You can literally count the polygons in that fencepost – it's less than 40, for sure. The fence itself is a flat barrier with zero depth. The game, objectively, is dated in its visual presentation. That doesn't make the game bad – our review actually suggests otherwise – but it does make its graphics less impressive by modern standards. We'd expect performance to be stellar given this simplified aesthetic, but Fallout's huge view distances and shadow application take a lot of that away. For anyone trying to achieve a higher framerate than represented here, we'd suggest first lowering Shadow Distance, then tabbing down a few of the view distance settings by modest amounts.
Anyway, to play at 1080/ultra in a worst-case scenario, you'll want something like the $230 R9 380 (not present) or GTX 960 ($225). An R9 390X works well for 1440p and would be our go-to, short of opting for nVidia's GTX 980 at ~$500.
4K just isn't meant for single-GPU solutions at this time, especially not at max settings and view distances.
As for lower settings, anyone comfortable compromising “Ultra” for “Medium” can grab the GTX 950 for a solid 60FPS experience. Users of “Low” settings can make a 750 Ti work in a pinch, but the R9 270X handles itself excellently. The 270X is now deprecated, but it has effectively been replaced with the R7 370.
sigh being an adult allows you to buy all the awesome gaming specs but no time to actually game on it![]()
Which brings us to the less savory matter at hand. It’s time to talk about bugs – Fallout 4 has them, and I’m not referring to Radroaches. Being a Bethesda open-world game, you might be inclined to expect glitches and, well, those expectations will yield frustrating fruit. Pretty much everything you’ve seen impact Bethesda games of the past can be seen here, from a handful of potential quest bugs to wacky A.I. pathfinding and a number of physics-based anomalies. I’m also not sure whether or not an early story mission become unbeatable on a test file, because I’m sure the raiders I needed to kill weren’t spawning.
I’ve been playing a review copy for over a week, and just discovered last night that a particular quest NPC not offering quest completion wasn’t the result of my not completing a quest. Instead, I came to realize (after it happened with another NPC) that any time I have two completed quests for the same NPC, turning in one totally breaks the other. This wouldn’t be such a problem if the one weren’t the core Brotherhood of Steel quest line, and the other from the core story.
As it stands, I’m more than 60 hours into the game, and feeling like the whole experience is now a wash. :/
