Beat Writer  Posts: 155 Joined: 28 May 2008  | Hmm, well I'm looking to buy a PC with similar specs to the recommended ones seeing as the POS I had before has died on me. Unfortunately I don't have the funds and won't for a while so it will probably be outdated anyway by the time I get it and Fallout 3 will be a hazy memory. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2906 Joined: 20 Dec 2007    | The processor on the min. req. seems to be the "optimistic" part IMO, but there isn't a big gap between the recommended and minimum specs on this. Also, "News Room" beat ya to it. |

Okey doke. Everyone shuffle over to the news room topic. |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 430 Joined: 22 Sep 2008 | Maximum settings, here I come. The game looks a good deal better on the Xbox 360 than Oblivion due to some optimisations, and the framerate is much, much more solid (still drops in a few videos I've seen but nothing terrible). Assuming they've optimised the game well for the PC then Oblivion will probably be a good indicator for how Fallout 3 will perform. |

Don't play dumb, we all know you're the local PC-phillie here :P Though, I may be able to just scrap past minimum. |
PROBATION Posts: 2821 Joined: 21 Aug 2008 | The biggest constraint this or any other action game will ever present is the GPU. And that's easily and cheaply resolved unless you're running something which doesn't support PCI-Express slots. User was put on probation for: Poll: CoD: WaW. Its got major issues.. (3 days) |

<--- Does not own a PCI express motherboard... I have been crying about it ever since I finished building my computer 2005. Not that it is that bad. I mean I could still run it and I do have a pci express motherboard sitting at home right now and all it needs is a video card, but since I am leaving for the Air Force soon (dec 16) I can wait to get it. |
