1. you answered your question yourself. You have it crash before you even get to the loading screen.

 

2. Barring that info, your clock speed (and gen and type) of processor is on the weak side to begin with. Had you not stated that, I would have cautioned you against getting the game and if you did you'd have to turn things down quite a bit (something you can try) and likely won't be able to do much in the way of mods.  (Assuming you are running Old Skyrim ) .

 

3. Hopefully there is some here that have some finesse that can get you going with the game as you should be able to at least load it and get some gaming in all though the quality of that gaming my be debatable. Hopefully someone could chime in and give you some of those tricks that can help extend the game play opportunities.

Not bad processor in general. Just not one that most would use for gaming.

Also are you using intel graphics? That can be really hard and not supported according to the above. Hope this helps a bit. Sorry it can be more useful.

The game doesn't support Intel HD Graphics.

 

No. You cannot run Fallout 4. It requires an nVidia or AMD GPU.

 

Your processor is also complete and utter shit. What do you get in Skyrim? Like 10FPS?

 

Get a real computer and then ask again.

I wasn't disrespecting you in any way. Your processor, on the other hand...

 

And sure, go ahead. Fight me.

Right from Bethesda Site for Fallout 4.

 

Your processor is an i3 when it has minimum of i5,

Your processor is a 1.6 (turbo I believe to 2.6) when the speed is 2.8 required.

And itstates Nivida GTX550Ti 2gb or AMD HD7870.

Your base frequency is well bellow that of a 550Ti ( I believe) also being Intel graphics it is shared memory and you only have 8gb memory. The game is advised to have 2gb for a dedicated graphics card.  windows is likely using well over 4 to 6 just to operate (and run the game) not leaving much left there.

 

It is great that you can run Skyrim SE and I'd admit it is strange that it works. I can only tell you that your specs as presented are well below the even the minimum in any listing or location I can find. I have played Fallout NV on Intel well weaker than what was minimum and other games but it was really hit and miss when doing so.

 

Since you stated yourself you can't even get it to start properly all I could say is fool around with the settings and such and try to see if you can do the same you did to it as you did for Skyrim SE and see if that works. If it don't, I would say it was a lost cause. I defiantly wouldn't advice someone that had a setup as yours to buy the game if they asked, but if you have it, no harm in screwing around until (and if) you can get it to work properly.

 

Best of luck.

You posted a question, and people answered something you don't want to hear. If you believe you are right, you should have been able to play F4 now and you should not need to open this topic. The fact that you need to open this topic proves that your spec is inadequate to play this game. Even people with GTX 1080 can get low frames in some area near Diamond City, what kind of god do you pray to that gives you so much faith in your way of thinking?

I wouldn't feel disrespected because I know for a fact that my computer can run almost anything out there on the highest settings and you calling it shit would obviously be trolling.

 

Be realistic, not optimistic. Your computer is shit.

And just a note: Be sure to aim for a higher processor like recommended or better (planning on going with AMD Ryzen on my next build). Especially if you run a lot of scripted mods. Even a Phenom x6 1090 (which is above required) bottlenecks badly when you get a lot of script calls in FO4.

fallout 4 prefers core count over clock speed.

 

I get 60fps on a dual socket server with a 1070, 8 cores, 16 threads, 2.5GHz. Dual Xeon E5530.

 

Any less than 6 cores you need 3Ghz or above.

 

My old Xeon E3 1240 ran the game fine, it's based off the i7 2600.

 

The game will suck more if you have bad GPU more than CPU.

 

Intel HD Graphics is garbage for gaming.

Anyway gazaking123 thanks for the topic, i was asking the same to me and wanted to buy it as i have kinda a same config than you and except the few arrogant ones, i found my answer

If you are patient and look around you could find some refurbish or other computers that might get you at least close to what is needed to run this and some other games.

 

I am using a 4th gen i7 (4790k) without any problems (related to the processor) I ran it with a GTX970 at 1080p with whatever mods were available shortly after it was released and didn't have much troubles (once Bethesda fixed their damn stupid coding bugs and shit that caused me all sorts of troubles... you know that shit that occurs when a game is released before its finished)  They don't even sell computers with my specs now. They have better ones. Might be cheaper with a refurbished one than building one if you need to start from scratch. If you are upgrading there should be some discontinued or older hardware that might be on a great sale (AMD) with the recent releases they did.

 

Best of luck.

And you are wasting people's time with comments like that instead of actually giving something useful and contributing to the discussion.

 

While we are at it....  bragging about your computer being so powerful and implied claims of being a "bad ass" is also a waste of everybody's time and not contributing to the thread in any way.

 

The OPs computer might very well be shit but there are people that don't understand hardware, that can't understand why one game worked great for them and others don't.  Some of  them don't have the opportunities you and others have to get great hardware and are trying to get a little fun and diversion with what can get.

 

Some of us here get that and try to give a bit of help.

Thanks for the positive feedback... Hope you are able to work something out. 

My hardware is able to play it pretty good but it is very old now and I fear it is about to go out, Also, like many here, I might not be able to get something awesome to upgrade to when it does. (financial changes) so I can feel your and others in this boat's pain.

Not bragging. Stating facts. Also never said I was a bad ass. 

 

Both of those are assumptions you made, which I'm flattered by.

 

Bottlenecking order:

 

Storage>RAM>CPU>GPU

 

By the way, your 970 is severely bottlenecking your 4790K, although I doubt you even have a good OC on it.

Here's a little piece of software you can run ( have a check around the site itself by all means if you dont trust it 100 % before installing it , although Ive used it years ago and found it pretty helpful ) that will often ( not always but most of the time ) tell you if you can run certain games and where exactly it falls short .

There is concern with the hard drives when it comes to bottlenecking I will agree to that. That's mainly page file related though. My set up, due to the hard drives I use, I had to turn the main drives page file off and force the utilizing of my other 3 drives. It did help a lot with fallout 4's calling to my c drive, its installed on my 3rd drive. Now it only calls to it when it needs specific files like OS, saves, mod order, etc.. making it much more stable.

exactly all i wanted was to know if i could run it or not before i go wast my money thank for all of you guys on here that broke them down for me. the only reson i will not post my pic is because of what im doing and  i don't want it to come bite in the ass in the future  lmao.  so it looks like imma have to upgrade but what bothers me is the xbox one is weaker then this pc i have now and yet xbox one is able to play fallout 4. although  fallout 4 on Xbox one those ctd alot too especially with mods and even then only a certain amount of GBs of mods is able to download.;and yes i too also do military type combat training and  looking towards learning how to use guns and the such.

[RitualClarity]

the Xbox is optimized and doesn't have all the *Stuff* that you would have on a windows system. Even drivers ... there are only a few different things that can be done (depending on gen etc) so you can play something on an Xbox that you wouldn't be able to (or not easily and with satisfaction) on a PC of similar spec

 

Best of luck... YOu don't really need much just a bit of a boost with some carefully selected hardware. Might even be able to find some discontinued computer on a nice mark down that you can get to get you where you need to be to get some game play going... however, a bit more, and you can get a nice setup.

Iif you are curious about the processor of your machine and what it can do game wise... you can try intel's site. It is clean

 

https://gameplay.intel.com/

 

I believe you should be able to input a processor of your choice and see results as well. I know it isn't covering the graphics card but if you get an intel that has graphics you can at least see what it can do without the graphics card... (as far as I can see :))

Looks like OP is using a Lenovo ideacentre H500s. Shitty little piece of shit, CPU is soldered onto the motherboard, and it uses LAPTOP dimms for memory.

 

It does have a PCIe slot though, so a GT 1030 or 1050Ti is possible.

Wait.......You DELETED the pagefile on your C Drive? Didn't that slow down Windows?
