Your system setup looks solid but there are some compatibility considerations. The AMD X4 8600K is a decent mid-range CPU, but the minimum requirement for your GPU and RAM suggests you might need an i7 or better for optimal performance. Since you've had issues with artefacts before, it's wise to double-check BIOS settings and ensure all components are properly matched. Running Fallout 4 should be possible, but if you encounter problems, consider updating drivers or checking for compatibility patches.
Adjusting certain parameters can result in 40-55 frames per second, varying based on the situation.
You need to lower the settings a bit. The GPU in use is the 980 Ti. Even then, on medium performance, the 7870K (slightly faster than your x4 860K) only reaches about 44 frames per second. It’s reasonable to expect around 60 fps with optimized settings. You should likely maintain a low-medium setting for roughly 50 fps.
Hey there! I'm all set once I have a GPU card. I think my current motherboard's Intel HD won't be enough. My old setup just needs a new component. It's kind of like adding the long barrel, sniper scope, and muzzle brake to a pipe rifle—though I haven't tried it yet. Just watching all the play and hints videos is fun. And hey, Santa!
