Forum Overview :: Fallout 4 :: You act as if he has a modern cpu with a modern amount of memory

[quote name="Entropy Stew"][quote name="Rafiki"]settings? If the answer to those is "no," then the GTX 960 is fine. And you can get big performance boosts in most modern games by turning down the fucking shadows. Those always crush performance.[/quote] This I agree with. [quote]Upgrading your CPU / RAM isn't going to put much of a dent in performance anymore, since most games are bottlenecked by the graphics card. I upgraded mine recently to the latest Intels because mine were even older than yours, and there was all kinds of nerd disappointment from enthusiasts because the latest processors didn't have very meaningful performance increases in gaming from overclocked processors from even 4-5 years ago.[/quote] This I do not. Haswell was a decent jump. The upgrade from an i7 920 to a 4770k was noticable in cpu-eating games, of which there are many. The specs on the current gen of consoles also mean that the cpu and memory requirements for cross-platform titles have jumped quite a bit. A core 2 quad may be fine for a lot of things, but it is no powerhouse anymore. 8 gigs is probably the minimum you want for a game machine. 6 would usually be fine, too, but that's really only available on old triple channel memory configurations. <a href="http://www.legitreviews.com/upgrading-from-intel-core-2-quad-q6600-to-core-i7-4770k_2247">Benchmarks on an upgrade from a Q6600 to a 4770k</a> -/ES/-[/quote]
