Fallout 4 freezes about every 10 minutes while playing. It comes back about a minute or two later. I have an i5-2500k, GTX 560 Ti, and 4 GB of RAM. Could it only be the RAM? I know the minimum is 8GB, but I've seen videos of people with 4 gigs playing and running it fine.
it's probably your gfx card too
I'm running a i7 3770k with a 6870 and 8GB of RAM. It runs ok on low settings for the most part except for some areas of the map where fps drops significantly. Make sure you have nothing else running when playing (Windows complains about low RAM if I have Firefox open at the same time). I would upgrade RAM first since that is cheaper before upgrading you gfx card.

Found the problem.
oooh muh gaming

What is the problem with intel in regards to Fallout 4?
Fucking toaster.

Disable God rays. Set shadows to the lowest settings. Then throw your shitty PC in the trash and go buy a real computer.
If you can't afford to do this then quit playing video games and go get a fucking job.

That pic is retarded, why would someone drop 3 nukes that close to each other?
>>51481045
24 fps sure is cinematic and smooth eyy?
>>51480872
Try lowering the shadow distance to medium. For me lowering God rays made zero difference in performance, but changing the shadow distance completely got rid of my frame dips.
Also get more ram. It's cheap, and 4 gigs isn't much anymore. I hit 7.7 gigs of ram use playing Fallout 4 the other day, and the only things running in the background were catalyst control center and MSI afterburner, so it seems very possibly 4 gigs of ram wouldn't cut it.
>>51480872
It might be your GPU, I tried running it medium settings on a 1gb 7850 and would constantly dip to 0fps from 40ish. Afterwards I just switched to a 760 and medium to high settings, got 60fps.
>>51480950
Went ahead and got more RAM. It's about time for an upgrade anyway. Hope it fixes the problem.
>>51480872
>I know the minimum is 8GB, but I've seen videos of people with 4 gigs playing and running it fine.
It depends on what kind of drive your page file is on.
If you hit full memory usage it will start aggressively swapping with pagefile, if you have an HDD then it will be really slow to do this, if you have an SSD it will be fast.
The difference between HDD and SSD in this situation would be huge. You never want a game to be waiting on your hard drive.
Your main issue is the graphics card. Upgrade that shit to the 900 series
Also, more ram would be nice
>>51481317
Falling to the current gpu meme...
You can pick up a 7970 for like $115 why spend the money for a 950 at that price point?
>>51480872
Seems like the intended performance to me.

Also, Fallout 4 supports multiple threads, so i7 is really good here.

Plays just fine on Ultra. Stays on 60fps mostly, but can drop down to 40 during intense situations.
>>51485972
>Yeah, but
>>no mods
If im not mistaken ps4/xbox start supporting mods next year? Something like that. It was said during e3. Dont remember much about it.
>>51480872
Your game is set to save every 5/10/15 minutes. Check your save file size. My guess is your HDD is going bad or crap quality.
>>51486019
>If im not mistaken ps4/xbox start supporting mods next year?
Only Xbox One, and they'll have to go through Bethesda OK check first.
It'll be there, but not nearly as good.
>>51485972
Do you have god rays on ultra?
>>51486036
The only settings I fiddled with is pressing "Ultra" on the launcher, so I assume yes?
It's on my default isn't it?
>>51486040
Probably not. I set it on ultra and God Rays was then only set to high. God Rays ultra annihilates the framerate.
>>51486040
No difference between God Rays on ultra and low. Huge difference in FPS.
>>51486047
Can you back that up?
>>51480872
is your ram certified gayming ram?
you better be using razer mouse & headset for the optimal fps experience
>>51486054
Yes.
http://images.nvidia.com/geforce-com/international/comparisons/fallout-4/fallout-4-god-rays-quality-interactive-comparison-003-ultra-vs-low.html
>>51486054
No visible difference for me. Ultra godrays tanks my fps with an OCed i7 and GTX 980, yet I easily get 60+ fps with godrays on low and everything else mostly maxed whilst playing at 1440pp, with zero visible difference.
>>51486083
Where are the God Rays in this picture?
Hey OP, had same problem, it was IO, as in the harddrive
>>51486111
The sun rays that you see.
>>51486111
Difference is somewhat more noticeable in the following comparison: http://images.nvidia.com/geforce-com/international/comparisons/fallout-4/fallout-4-god-rays-quality-interactive-comparison-001-ultra-vs-low.html
Still, wow, it's fucking nothing.

>>51480872
Same setup but 8 gigs, everything on medium except for textures and shadow distance. getting 40 fps with ocassional 30-26 drops.
Use the latest ENB series and set VideoMemorySizeMb to 4096.
>>51486602
>13 year old engine
>require a house fire to run
fack off m8.
>>51480872
Look man, you can fucking find out if it's the RAM or not.
Just monitor the RAM usage and see if it gets filled up at any point in the game, because that's when page files are exchanged between disk and memory (or idk, it may happen if RAM is filled at a threshold. I suppose you're on Windows so I'm not sure how swapping occurs there).
>>51486656
Also the textures and shadow distance is set to high but since your ram is limited, reducing the texture size may increase the performance a lot.
You should still get ENB it really helps.
>>51480872

I don't believe you, there's no way the textures look this bad in a game that's so resource hungry.

>tfw I play it running smoothly on medium with a phenom2 955 and a r7 250x.
I have no idea what the fuck you guys are on about, I'm using the best i5, 16gb of ram and a shity 1GB 270 and im running it perfectly fine on ultra WITH textures and lighting mod. FPS goes anywhere from 23 to 46 depending on situation.
Is it weird that I am able to do this?
>4GB of RAM
Found the problem. Ever checked to see how much ram fallout4 was using?
It's a ram issue. Just look at your HDD light when it's freezing, you'll see it blinking like mad because it's accessing the page file.
I am actually not very surprised that /g/ is so fucking incompetent they don't recognise caching issues when they see them.
>560ti
>4gigs of ram
Time for an upgrade bud
>>51486899
No because fallout 4 isn't actually a very demanding game. It just eats ram like a fucking whore though.
Falcon, ever noticed the difference between low textures and high textures?
I don't think there is a big difference at all.
Hence the ram eating. And the shitty textures.
>>51486951
Don't you know that graphics settings started being superficial ages ago they mean nothing now they only implement them so PC players dint lose their minds
>>51486942
But 2011 never ended for me.
>>51486970
No because I don't play videogames all that much.
>>51486951
>ever noticed the difference between low textures and high textures?
>I don't think there is a big difference at all.
This. I remember Skyrim there wasn't that much of a difference between medium, high and ultra. Low was the only setting that was noticeable and even then it just looked like a circa 2006-2007 game. Kind of seems pointless.
With FO4 there's enough low res console textures anyway that I really don't notice much of a difference at all between low and ultra. I thought my eye sight was going so I'm glad someone else noticed this.
>>51486159
>980ti
>1080p
>Runs at sub 60 fps w/ultra setting
What the hell man..
>>51487007
It sucks mainly because turning down the texture quality is how people on PCs stop it from eating all the fucking RAM.
>>51486832
Oh trust me man it is.
1440p maxed out with 2x390x's. Still just as ugly.

Literally a piece of shit, if you own a Nvidia card that is not a Titan X or 980ti you are a fucking retarded cunt and you are also poor
i can run it maxed out with only occasional frame dips
i have 760 non ti, 3670k, 8gb ram everything stock clocked
>>51487127
It could make the game look like ass and I wouldn't mind- the constant stuttering and caching is unbearable.
I have a q9550, 8gb ddr2 and gtx 660 running everything smothly at med settings.
>>51487086
Works great, I'm on 7950 crossfire and this has got to be faster than a single gtx 980.
If you're thinking of crossfire now, you can grab a pair of 4gb r9 380s and have yourself something on par with the fury in performance in most games.
>>51487336
Turn god rays to low and it will be even smoother without noticeable loss in looks. maybe you can even turn something else up then.
>>51487365
Thanks for the advice i would also like to say i tested it out while having otger things run in the backround and if i play twitch stream while playing the game it becomes almost unplayable like its fighting for resources to run i am guessing its the ram being used up
>>51487346
Really?!?! Its way cheaper as well so I think its worth the try.
I could do that as well. But m8 how many fps?

Anyone else get serioud fps drops at boston commons?
>>51488764
The meaning of life is procreation, passing down your genes to the next generation.
And the FPS drops have to do with the shadow distance mostly, also, disable god rays.
>>51480872
i'm currently playing the game with an ATI firepro v3900 at 15 FPS on average and never experienced freezing. the other pc part are these: 4770k, 16gb ddr3 2133. i think that your problem is the speed of ram combo the capacity

Not sure if it's related, but when I'm in or near the city, I get random drops where it goes from 50-60fps to 1fps for several seconds, then goes back up to 50-60.
In the city my cpu usage hovers around 90%, but it drops to ~20% when the framerates dip to 1fps.
Does it regardless of settings, and I tried adding every .ini tweak I could find to no avail.

I'm forcing Crysis 3 profile for Crossfire, some minor visual artifacts here and there but otherwise smooth, though it does significantly increase loading times for some reason. The 1fps issue occurs even with Crossfire disabled though.

>>51498579
This poster tells the truth, I work at nvidia , were going to gimp all but the 900 series , by the way HBM 2.0 is just a fancy name for HBM its the exact same shit AMD uses on their Fury series. (Im on the software team working on drivers and cuda performance gains) You should see the 700 series flop soon , and here is a side note the GTX 970 is a total pile of garbage , the hardware team fucked up big time and the software side has to emulate extra memory to compensate for it. We should be pushing out better drivers for the mobile line soon, oh and last note before I run off , we pay off tonnes of cash for devs to use gameworks, its absolutely bloated shit invented only to punch AMD in the balls. (I personally have two rigs at home but I love to game on my R9 390 , its just a better card , god bless 8GB of frame buffer , its a blessing when using openGL or emulation. Also runs buttery smooth at 4k)
