Official Fallout 4 Thread (USE SPOILER TAGS)

How many games are stable with your triple sli?

I've tested Fallout 4 on 1, 2 and 3 GPU's and it still crashes so it's not the problem.

Now, to answer the question, not a ton work really well with it. Fallout 4 does benefit from it (like a gain of 15 FPS over 2 cards), though I don't think it utilizes it properly.

The Forest runs like 75-90 FPS in 4k on max with GemFX.. looks incredible. Arkham Knight still doesn't support multi-GPU at all, so that's out but still runs like 55 FPS on a single card in 4k. Skyrim seems to use it.. gets around 65-70 FPS in 4k w/ENB Bleak. GTA V gets (I **** you not) like 120 FPS on average in 4k with ENB enabled. Upwards of 180 FPS.. 4k max settings. 3dMark I get like ~24000 in Firestrike. Overclocking seems unstable though. Can't OC much more than ~140mhz Core/Mem or it'll lock up in 3dMark or the driver will crash.

I tried Witcher 3 but don't notice any difference from 2 to 3 cards. I spent a pretty large amount of time just trying to get Fallout 4 to work/run stable so I didn't test a ton of other games. Assassin's Creed: Black Flag doesn't utilize more than 2 cards.. Far Cry 4 seemed to not use more than 2 (which is weird because I think I got it working on 3x GTX980's in the past). I played around in Nvidia Inspector and did a bunch of suggested driver tweaks on these games but they don't work, or only seem to really benefit from 2 cards. Sometimes 3 cards are being used, but only at like 50% utilization so the FPS suffers.

It's a mixed bag. 2 980ti's seem to perform on par with 2 Titan-X's, so even in the games where 3-way SLI isn't working, they still run as well as they did on my previous cards. When 3-way SLI does work, the FPS gains are all over the place, but GTA V is a good example of huge gains.

Lol

Spoiler!

I usually skim through the terminals and just wait to see if it updates my map, will need to check it out

Spoiler!

I saw that terminal and read that msg and looked for the cave under the red rocket but couldn't find it. so whut was I looking for?

[MuckSnapper]

I've explored so much. Getting old now

Time to build beefy settlements.


Oh and I'm not sure if this tip has been shared but console gamers will love me if not: If you drop a bunch of weapons in a settlement then store them in workshop mode, it will free up space for you to build. Rinse and repeat until your hearts desire. Just be careful not to go overboard as it may cause your game to lag. So far I've been good though.

This is especially helpful at the Castle, which seems to reach max capacity quickly.


Also, where can I get the enclave helmet? I found the X-01 torso, right arm, left arm and left leg at

Spoiler!

the abandoned shack underground facility located in the glowing sea

Since it's random, I didn't get lucky and the helmet wasn't attached. And is there a BOS X-01 helmet too? Or is the X-01 armor strictly enclave?

I believe strictly enclave, if not mistaken

[MuckSnapper]

Yea figured this was the case. All the videos sporting the X-01 armor only had the enclave helmet. Never really loved the helmet actually, but it is the best one in the game plus those glowing eyes hnngh

Not a fan of the looks of the helmet, but the glowing eyes are SUHICK. More of a fan of the BOS t60 helmet or whatever

Spoiler!

danse's armor gives you once you take him out

Did you beat the game already? If not, don't open this spoiler.

Spoiler!

So sided with the BOS, beat the game i.e went into the institute with the BOS and blew that bish up, but at the end before ingram sends you back, that little synth shaun comes up to you and starts the whole "your my daddy take me with" thing. I told him to come with, idk if that is gonna make any difference

Thanks for the warning. Haven't fully beaten the main quest yet so did not open.

It seems I have lost track of being able to follow the main story line, I'm already at level 42 and keep doing side quests

Any tips on where/who I need to see?

Spoiler!

it says to continue to follow the railroad but gives no markers on the map

Go to the swan pond and there is a protectron where the railroad starts. Follow the red bricks on the ground until you get to the church. You don't have to go inside the other buildings, a mistake I made and wasted time

[Dave P]

Up to level 78. Just finished getting all the bobbleheads and have like 5 magazines left. Maxd affection with everyone except Strong and Curie, even the courser. Still haven't pushed the main storyline very far. Have like 5 settlements left to connect and build up.

Think I'm at the point where it's time to finish the magazines and push the main story today. Finish this up.

You'll see the red bricks dissapear once in a while, but they usually cross the street and you have to refollow them again, hitting the little circular markers as you find them. You'll end up where you need to be

here is a question for PS4 brahs. im about 30-35 hours in, still crushing it.

anyone have really long load times? anyway to shorten these ****ing load times?

[1cav]

I have it downloaded to the hard drive. Load times can be long but not enough to complain about.

Maybe try installing it.

im pretty sure it installed itself as soon as i popped the danged game in.

It may just be me, but bethesda games always seem to have longer loading times on Playstation over Xbox. Just from my experience, it seems that way.

I'd love to do another play through but I don't want to start at level 0 again. New game plus would have made this game much better. Getting a little bored now. Beat the story and a ton of quests. Followed some youtube video on where to get a bunch of cool rare weapons. Idk. Running out of stuff to do

x2 on this. Did main, side, settlement building, exploring, got all the cool guns and armor, but still bored of it.

Can only travel the glowing sea so many times. I wish they did a New Game + mode, or theyre DLC better deliver

[Thai_Clinch]

It's not boring, but I agree about it being unstable. Totally unplayable due to constant crashing. I even made a new character to see if a clean save game would help but it doesn't. Just another broken Bethesda game.. I'm sure it'll work in 2 years when the modding community fixes it.

im 70 hours in and ive not come across one glitch or crash that altered the game in any way. so it's more than just "the game" imo, brotha

No offense, but this attitude of "Well hey it works for me" crap needs to stop. Google it, there's a **** ton of people who can't even get the game to load at all, and others like me for whom the game crashes constantly. Mine worked fine too my first run through the game, now it crashes all the time for no reason. I started a new game to see if the issue was my save game getting too large/corrupted, and it still crashes. The game is the problem. I have no problems with any other games. Bethesda is literally known for releasing broken products, so I don't really know why people defend their games other than pure fanboyism. I have tried literally every "fix" suggested on Steam and from Bethesda, and nothing works. The game is unstable, like all early-release Bethesda games. In 2 years the modders will have fixed it and it'll be fine.. For now it's broken.

[p7nk]

Hey guys first day noob questions lol,

Any tip on how to hack terminal? Took me 30 minute for that first terminal for the museum mission smh not sure if I'm retarded

Also after you take off your power armor do you just leave it where u take it off and come back for it? Or can you bring it with you?

Will kindly measly rep helpful brahs

You do know these games aren't suppose to last you a life time, right? how many hours are you two ****s in? watch you say over 70+.. the **** you wanted?

why is it if we say the game and any other game theyve made has had no serious issues for us make us "fanboys" blindly defending their games?

just curious because most people that defend Bethesda responding to one of your posts, actually...dont agree with your post or wont sympathize is a better phrasing since we arent always defending Bethesda, you immediately use that word "fanboy".
