The specifics of PC gaming are such that before you begin, you must first familiarize yourself with its system requirements and relate it to the existing configuration.

To do this simple action, you do not need to know the exact technical characteristics of each model of processors, video cards, motherboards and other components of any personal computer. A simple comparison of the main lines of components will suffice.

For example, if a game's minimum system requirements include a processor of at least Intel Core i5, then you shouldn't expect it to run on i3. However, it is more difficult to compare processors from different manufacturers, which is why developers often indicate names from two main companies - Intel and AMD (processors), Nvidia and AMD (video cards).

Above are system requirements. It is worth noting that the division into minimum and recommended configurations is done for a reason. It is believed that meeting the minimum requirements is enough to start the game and complete it from beginning to end. However, to achieve the best performance, you usually have to lower the graphics settings.

Thus, thanks to an understanding of the basic principles of component classification, absolutely anyone can sensibly assess the possibility of startup and correct operation - and it is the system requirements that will help with this.

Since then Fallout 4 announced, gamers PC wondering: what are the minimum system requirements for PC? And while Bethesda hasn't officially announced the minimum system requirements for Fallout 4 on PC, we can get a good picture that they're going to be based on some previous releases of this type of next-gen game. The main thing is that Bethesda has already confirmed that the game will have a 1080px extension and a frame rate per second of 30fps on game consoles, which confirms the information that these characteristics will be different on PC.

Based on these data, it can be assumed that the minimum requirements Fallout 4 on PC will likely be quite impressive. So the first set of potential requirements Fallout 4 on PC, which we should look at, will be the minimum system requirements for the new open world extravaganza - RPG: The Witcher 3.

Fallout 4 minimum system requirements:
Windows 7/8/10 (64-bit);
Intel Core i5-2300 2.8 GHz / AMD Phenom II X4 945 3.0 GHz (or equivalent);
8 GB RAM;

NVIDIA GTX 550 Ti 2 GB / AMD Radeon HD 7870 2 GB (or equivalent);

How Fallout 4, The Witcher 3 has experience on PC very high level, but leaves the 1080p/30FPS mark. Obviously, two different games from two different studios could have some minor differences in requirements, but we think this is a pretty safe place to start analyzing if you're thinking about your own specifications for Fallout 4.

Although we haven't heard anything from the official developer Bethesda, for popular PC, about system requirements we can provide approximate indicators according to the very authoritative foreign site game-debate.com. Here is their list of what they expect as recommended (not minimum) system requirements:

Fallout 4 system requirements:
Windows 7/8/10 (64-bit);
Intel Core i7 4790 3.6 GHz / AMD FX-9590 4.7 GHz (or equivalent);
8 GB RAM;
30 GB of hard disk space;
NVIDIA GTX 780 3 GB / AMD Radeon R9 290X 4 GB (or equivalent).

Digital version Fallout 4 will be available for download at 12:01 pm local time in most territories on November 10th.
We bring to your attention a funny clipping from the game, in the form of a trailer. Enjoy watching!

It turned out that all the fears about the “unimpressive and outdated graphics” of this new RPG were in vain: to run the video game even on the lowest settings, you need far from a weak computer. Therefore, all PC owners who are fans of the series of legendary post-apocalyptic games and are hoping to try out Fallout 4 on their hardware can start saving money to upgrade their computers.

Now regarding the system requirements of Fallout 4. The requirements to run Bethesda's RPG on minimum settings and with all available graphic effects are as follows:

Minimum:

• Video card NVIDIA GTX 550 Ti 2 GB or AMD Radeon HD 7870 2 GB or similar;
• Processor from Intel Core i5-2300 series or quad-core processor from AMD not lower than Phenom II;
• You will need at least 8 GB of RAM.

• Video card NVIDIA GTX 780 3 GB/AMD Radeon R9 290X 4 GB or similar;
• Intel Core i7 4790 3.6 GHz or AMD FX-9590 4.7 GHz processor or equivalent;
• The same 8 GB of RAM will be enough for a comfortable game at the “maximum”.

Other requirements: to save on a hard drive, Fallout 4 requires about 30 GB, which is quite a bit by today's standards, but the Windows version must be 64-bit. It is desirable that it be Windows 8 or 10, although the game should run quite correctly on Windows 7. To activate the game, you will need an Internet connection and a Steam account (it's free to create).

Outdated information

Despite the fact that there are less than 40 days left until the release of Fallout 4, and millions of people have already pre-ordered Bethesda Softworks has not yet published the system requirements for the game.

We have friends who are game developers (though not at Bethesda), and we asked them to evaluate, from their professional point of view, what level of hardware requirements Fallout 4 will have. To which we received the following answer:

“In terms of the level of graphics, physics sophistication and open world, Fallout 4 is very similar, technically, to GTA 5, and hardware requirements should be expected at approximately this level”

We also asked them why Bethesda Softworks is so delaying the announcement of system requirements:

“When creating a game, the developer does not think about system requirements. There is a certain fork that the game director adheres to, but no more. Only at the final stage are the target minimum/recommended requirements determined and the game adjusted and optimized for them. Apparently, the main management has set an extremely low bar for the minimum system requirements, and the developers are working hard to figure out how to squeeze into these limits without killing the graphics to zero.”

These are the answers. Below we present the system requirements of GTA 5, as a guide, according to the developers, to the system requirements of Fallout 4. As soon as Bethesda publishes the official system requirements the page will be updated.

As you can see, the requirements are very low, and at minimum settings the fourth fallout will work for almost anyone.
