It's sitting in my car because I still have 4 hours of work to go. I'd like to know how it's working out on people's rigs beforehand if possible.
 
Mine is sitting on my desk at work right now...seems to be hold the desk to the ground rather well though. 7.5 so far.
 
All I can give you is a brief Vsync'd idea of how the game runs, while indoors , on my pc (I’m at work so I can’t provide proof yet however). :confused:

Vista x64
2560x1600
Ultra High Settings
2x AA
15x AF (Highest the game will let you pick)
(I also threw an extra 2GB of ram into my system)
Vsync – On (I know… stupid! I just couldn’t stop playing after I started):eek:

I got a constant 60 FPS with no stuttering, slowdowns, or dips in performance. There’s even one point where 10 npc’s are on the screen at once (4 children, 5 adults, 1 robot) and the frames didn’t budge.

I’ll have screenshots as well as outdoor and non-vsync’d numbers when I get home from work today.

Sorry that’s all I got. :(
 
The minute I get the drivers for this GTX 260 running, I'm installing the game. I'm super excited and will edit this post with results.

EDIT: Also it's a Core2 E6600 @ 3.6, 4 gigs of DDR2 800 Mushkin HP2 ram in a Gigabyte P35 DS3R
 
Where are you buying yours? Steam? Direct2drive?

finished downloading from direct to drive. will install on 4850 512 htpc and 4870x2 cf rig.
 
I got mine in Best Buy. I am glad I have my secondary 15 hrs/wk gig there the discounts are great. I got the collectors box for just a little more than the normal game.
 
I just bought off Steam. Every other game i've ever downloaded averaged btw. 300-500 kbs.


Downloading at 30- kbs now....there must be a lot of hits for this game. I should be playing by early next week.

What's so bad about v-sync?
 
Since this isn't a Valve game, I presume the retail package would NOT install into Steam?

And then would be a stand-alone install...is this correct?
 
I hope my wife actually started the Steam download when I told her to earlier. I was quite annoyed to find out it hadn't unlocked before I left for work. I can't wait to play it!
 
Heh, my wife never kicked off my download until after 6:00pm so I'll post on the topic as soon as Steam finishes the god damn download.

For my first new release steam purchase, I'm not a happy camper.

I'll bite!

Nearly solid 60 fps (FRAPS says it dips to about 45-50 when I'm outside in the wasteland and there is a lot of activity on screen) with all settings at ultra high, 2x AA, 15x AF (maximum allowed in options?), and resolution at 1680x1050. If I turn off 2x AA, then it's always locked on 60, regardless of what's going on.

V.A.T.S is actually quite entertaining :]
 
haha im about to install in a bit, i probably won't play it tonite, or a lot ever haha but ill post some screenies when i can :)
 
I'll let you guys know how it performs if it runs on my x850...

"Default" settings at 1680x1050 ran silky smooth... I gotta go to sleep, but I'm sure it'll run fine on at least Medium.
 
1680x1050, 8aa,15af( :confused: ) max everything and no vsync. Constant 60(never seems to go above/below)

VATS is very entertaining.
 
1920 x 1080 between high and ultra. Very smooth with 2x AA. I am enjoying the game very much!
 
dual 4870x2's, maximum advanced settings, 2xaa and 15xaniso nets a pretty solid 60 frames walking around springvale at 25x16
 
With my main system at 1900x1200, I started with a try for everything at ultra with 4xaa and 12x af. It works fine in cities (30-40fps) and indoors (60 usually), but in the wide open wilderness I was dropping into the single digits.

Going to mess around with the AA and see if I can pull those outdoors areas up to 30 without too many problems.
 
I just got the game. I will post some results when I get home from work today.
 
On my 4850 the game defaulted to Ultra High with 4xAA and 16xAF at my native res of 1280x1024. Plays like a champ, very smooth with the only slowdown being the very brief scene loads as you are running around outside (just like Oblivion had).

Looks great, runs great, plays great - I love it :)
 
Getting capped at 60-63 fps at 1920x1200. No Vsync on in CCC or in game. Wonder if this is a bug? This game is the best RPG to come out in a long time. I love the VATS and how early one you can have so many alternative choices to change the storyline.
 
How playable is it with a GeForce 7800GTX 256MB on a 1600x1200 LCD? Thanks!
 
I think it would be very playable at med-high settings. I played Oblivion at that res on my 7800gt and it worked good. From all I can tell, the engine really isn't all that more demanding.
 
I was able to get rid of the 60 fps cap by forcing vsync off in the nvidia control panel. For some reason the option in the fallout 3 settings to turn off vsync doesn't seem to work. I checked my fps with fraps and was able to go above 60 with vsync forced off.
 
Forcing the vsync off doesn't seem to have much effect. I can get to 65FPS and that's all. No matter how high or low the settings get I'm stuck there.
 
Not on the 180 beta drivers yet, but this was entirely outside in the area outside that megaton city place.
 
I just benchmarked using FRAPS and my results were:

Minimum 0
Maximum 64
Average 52

This was done outside on my way from Megaton to Springvale Elementry and there was combat and VATS involved. The elapsed time was 280457 ms and there were 14618 frames. The game is all maxed out at 1920*1200 with Vsync turned on.
