Fallout new vegas

I'm getting a hd4650 to get my new build running before i set up sli, mainly because it's cheap and i want the price of fermi to drop a bit more.

what kind of framerate/detail level could i get on new vegas?

I checked the min req and it says geforce 6 or ati 1300xt, so what can i expect?

other specs are gb pny ddr3, asus nf 750 board and phenom II 965, although i havent bought the cpu yet.

thanks

For once I am up to date with games yay.
Only even played Fallout 3 on my Bros Ps3 for about 5-10 minutes, just walking about and shooting stuff, so this is all new to me.

I really like the intro stuff, how the guy asks you questions and the final thing was actually the stuff I like. Except sometimes I like to be the guy who goes infront and kills and sometimes I like to sneak, so it was a tough one lol.

I didn't know about karma so I stole something from a shop, then accidentally hit e and stole a gun and the gun owner started shooting me so I legged it but he followed and so did a couple others and had to kill half the town :o. Oh well their fault.

Good game though.

lool!
Nice one. I remember accidently killing some peeps because my finger would slip. I was like.. :eek::o oops.

Anyways, damn it! I wanna play new vegas but I am in urgent need of a new hard drive... embarrsed to say that I only have an 80 GB HDD :(

Here are my specs:

Intel Q9650 w/ 12MB of cache
Nvidia EVGA GTX 260 1gig
4 GIg DDR Corsair memory
Asus P5N mobo
Antec Q850 true watt power supply

On high settings I get lag and crappy framerates. I think the game needs a patch or two to optimize the code, because the last Fallout 3 I could play maxed out and get about 80FPS. Though I realize my computer is now about 2 years old.
 
New Vegas seems to be pretty good now that I got into it, casinos have made me rich and I can't decide whether to go with NCR or Legion. NCR have badass armour and I guess would be the good guys, but the Legion are badasses and have stuff....
Any tips or anything?

You should be able to get constant 60+ fps on medium settings

Your system is still plenty good enough to run it on full settings, it is just that, as you say, the game needs patches to optimize the code, both FO3 and NV use the same engine and everything, graphically, is the same, it is just it is coded so damn badly at the moment
 
I am holding off for a patch or two to make it run better. The game runs like total ass on my rig. However, I still have Starcraft II, Force Unleashed II, and will be buying the new Castlevania next week to tide me over until Fallout is fixed.

Is Force Unleashed 2 any good? Was considering getting it because it looks pretty good, but usually not into those sorts of sci-fi games

The story mode was so-so...so far I would maybe give it a 6.5/10 but I have yet to play through any of the challenges and extra content.

I felt the game was too short, maybe 6 hours of game play as I have already beat it. However, I have yet to play any of the extra content.

aaah ok, will give it a pass then, thanks :)
 
If you guys are loaded with caps (or cheated to get a very large amount like me :P) you buy fully repaired weapons and armour from the gun runners, go sleep somewhere for 4 days, go back to the gun runners and buy more guns/ammo.

Its a good way for stockpiling ammo that's hard to find.

I also found the deathclaw cave. there was a Mother Deathclaw and a Legenedary Deathclaw, they killed me in one hit :o

After i reloaded, my Anti-material rifle (aka 50 cal sniper rifle) with incendiary rounds took care of them ;)

Also bought some nice gun mods, carbon fibre frame and surpressor for the sniper rifle, hunting rifle scope, varmint rifle night scope, and extended mags for a few weapons, long barrels, scopes, the whole lot! :eek:
 
I need to stop reading this thread I am like 3 hours into the game and just rescued that Deputy from the powder gang.

I am still going to wait on the patch though to improve performance.

you evil, evil man :( I decided to pwn them instead, then rather than letting the town go to crap, then I went and killed them all at their prison :P
 
The new nvidia drivers (260.99) seem to help performance and stop the white/black flashing objects. still laggy as hell with more than 4 npc's in view :(

Eh, who put this out? It just looks like a dll hack?

The person that uploaded put it out, it was made by someone credited in the description

Nexus is a database and community for certain games, they got it for fallout, elder scrolls and DA:O, basically all community made content.

It would appear the "fix" works on the majority of systems, but on the others it will either not work at all, or won't effect the FPS. Works great for me
 
I got it to work. there is a d3d9.dll file somewhere in the new vegas install folder, try using that one.

When i used the downloaded one the game didn't even launch.
