Assuming whoever is doing the system requirements isn't just pulling them out of their rear end (big assumption, but let's go with it), the only prominent differences between i5s and i7s are hyperthreading and cache size. If hyperthreading is relevant, I would imagine that would mean F4 can actually utilize at least 8 threads. If that's true (and I'm building a Jenga of assumptions here), that could mean that F4 might be able to handle more things going on at once. I have no idea what more processor cache would do for F4.

OK, given the fact that they specify a 4790 instead of a 4770 for recommended and the difference is like, 100mhz when Turbo Boosting, I'm going to say there's some bullshit going on.

Hmm 8 GB for both Minimum and Recommended? That doesn't raise any alarms at all for me. This is perfectly fine.

Aren't mods that make the game run 4 times smoother usually the first to be made? I remember how much smoother Skyrim ran on ultra after a couple of those that optimized loading and what not. I don't know any

Yeah, but you figure it'd just be better for them to have the game be decently optimized to start off with instead of just letting the mod community fix it.

My system is 3.2Ghz Dual Core 16Gb Ram GT740 w/2gb ram Win7 Home Premium So it looks like I'm about in the middle ground in terms of what the game wants.

I could see a case where you need X amount of memory but that anything over that isn't really necessary. Especially if they addressed the weird texture-mirroring issue Skyrim has. But yeah, these system requirements are bad, and whoever wrote them should feel bad.

At least once a day, somebody at Bethesda makes a crack about not needing to fix something because "the modders will take care of it." The team shares a laugh, then there's an uncomfortable silence as their lead seriously considers it.

a 30gb install is relatively small nowadays right? I guess some workshop texture packs will fix that little convenience.

Peztopiary posted:A whole bunch of innocently whistling people walk past J. Fallout, each with at least one extra skull worked into their clothing. Speaking of that, I hope the armour crafting system allows me to mount skulls and bones on everything, one from each type of creature that I've slain. Skull shoulder pads, skull elbow pads, skull kneepads, skull knuckle dusters, skull boots and an antlered skull helmet with extra mounted skulls. I want Power Armour decked out like a goddamn skull golem.

ymgve posted:Considering that Xbone and PS4 both have 8GB of memory, it makes sense that the minimum would be 8 for PC too. That's pretty much it. The game has to run on the latest consoles and those specs are the rough PC equivalent of them. Or at least what the console makers claim them to be. Your mileage may vary. Use no hooks. This poster takes no responsibility for whatever crazy poo poo MS & Sony say they're capable of.

I'm not that good at parsing system requirements, would a lovely CPU (AMD fx6300 6core 3.5ghz) paired with a decent gpu (7870xt - basically a 7950 with some features turned off) be enough to run at settings that won't involve me tearing my eyes off in frustration and anger?

You're above the minimum specs in both regards, I think you'll be fine. As to what degree you'll have to turn down settings, who knows.

The specs themselves are kind of wonky, but even if they weren't we'd just be speculating on how they actually relate to the way the game works.

Usually the way this goes is that the GPU is more important than the CPU.

This relieves me quite a bit, my GPU while certainly not stellar has always handled everything I threw at it admirably. This means I can wait until the next shiny things come out in 2016 to upgrade instead of getting something for "early Christmas"

Knowing Bethesda, I seriously doubt Fallout 4 can utilize hyperthreading or octas. Is that particular AMD quad so it uses at least all four?

I would also be surprised. As you can see above, I figure those specs are off base because of the 4790 recommendation.
