OP here.
Fucking Christ my RAM is shit.

>>52417954
What is your GPU you fucking cunt

>>52417954
Yes, it's shit, but your real problem with Fallout 4 is probably that CPU. Bethesda's engine is mostly a pile of hacked together middleware crap from 10 years ago and it heavily depends on the CPU cores' individual performance; AMD designs have like 60-70% of Intel's.

>>52417980
How about you calm the fuck down?

>>52417954
>muh ram
Yes you need more ram and probably a new proccessor that isnt shit. Whats your GPU?

>>52417954
What is your GPU.
Go download speccy and give us a screenshot of that.

>>52417861
OP its most likely that your GPU is an AMD one.
Fallout 4 was optimized more for nVidia GPUs.
My 290 gets 28 fps in Boston at most maybe while my friend's 970 gets 45-60.
Just get a new GPU if you're desperate.

>>52418048
My r9 285 has no probs.

>>52418074
Must be my driver then?
I play fine but fps is shit in boston.

>>52418048
My R9 270 runs fallout at around 40-60 fps.

>>52418127
How does it fare in boston?

>>52418098
Everything on "ultra" except godrays on low and 40~fps in boston, but i spent like 1 hour trimming the .ini files.

>>52418135
Is that fucking speccy you retarded shit?
>r5
Your GPU is garbage.

>>52418135
huehuehue, get a new gpu lad.
That's utter shit.

>>52418135
OP get a new GPU
Yours a shit

>>52417954
Those are shitty laptop-tier specs.
Your parents wasted their money.

>>52418135
Welp , why are you surprised , look at your fucking GPU

Well shit, my GPU is utter shit, huh? How much would it cost to get a better one that could run Fallout 4?

What did your parents pay for this POS, kiddo?

>>52418140
I havent checked for a while, probably significantly lower then 40-60 in boston now that i think about it. Thanks bethesda

>>52418177
~$300
Honestly, I'd just build another computer; there is nothing worth salvaging in that pile of shit except the hard drive and disc drive.

>>52418177
250-350 for an R9 390 or a GTX 970
You could go for worse if you dont got the change but I recommend you get one of those.
970 if you can but a 390 if you want the extra VRAM.

>>52418177
Look up nvidia 750ti, it plays it nicely on low settings.

>>52418177
Probably 150-250 ish dollars. Go on pcpartpicker and compare prices before commiting.

>>52418192
This.

>>52418196
Remember that POS has some 300w PSU and a shitty CPU, not worth investing that much money.

>>52418135
Amd r5 is probably r5 230/240/250 so big nope for gaming. You need new gpu m8.

>>52418213
Ahh thats right.
Yeah OP may as well get a new one entirely.
Unless you're a poor fag then you'll have to make do

That's what happens when you buy a prebuilt expecting it to perform without looking up benchmarks of the parts.

your parents tried really hard as well

it's a crying shame

>>52417861
>He thinks he has to get a new computer altogether just to get more fps

Lmfao

>those specs

I hope that thing wasn't too expensive. It's worse than the shitty workstation I had at the office 3 years ago.

>>52418290
The sad truth is that he should get a new computer

>>52417861

Go and give your parents a hug, OP, they tried their best.

>>52417861
>buy 8320
>up RAM to 8GB
>buy R9-390 or GTX970

You'll have to check it doesn't have some shitty 400W power supply first. If it does, upgrade that too.

>>52417861
Honestly OP just tell your parents that you got some well informed advice from professionals and tell them that the company ripped them off and the money could be better utilized if you built a computer yourself or had somebody build it for you.

That's a meme tier processor, low Ram, and likely a meme tier GPU.

>>52417861
If you have no idea what your doing call iBUYPOWER and ask them what's the best GPU that power supply can drive and buy it.

Fuck off retarded kid. /g/ is not for your gayming shit

Go fuck yourself

>>52418374
If you are able to return it then you are better off doing so and building your own computer.

Otherwise, you're better off salvaging what you can (the case, fans, maybe the motherboard, and RAM) and just replacing the PSU, GPU, CPU and adding more dedotaded wam when you can

>>52418374
Just give up on games, install gentoo and have a great computing experience for free, for many many years to come.

>>52418321
This OP. By all means, do this regardless. They tried to make you happy without the proper nohow. Just the thought of it brings me to man tears.

>>52418374
OP leave me your email and I'll see if I can help you with some good deals, I'm about to upgrade and sell my stuff. Have lots of Amazon, eBay, reddit feedback and timestamps.

>>52418135
I have your same processor paired to a 7870ghz, which is the same as a r9 270x, which is the same as an r7 370.

It was a decent budget build 3 years ago when I built it, but you're not going to be playing the latest games at smooth 60fps even with a lot of stuff turned down. With your even shittier graphics card, I'm surprised you've managed to play anything at all.

That build was a waste of money at this point. Your only option is to get an 8320 and pair it with maybe a 380 or 390, or start from scratch with an i5 build.
Fallout 4 is pretty badly optimized. I can get a decent 30-40fps without too much going on and quite a few settings turned to medium, but it tanks to half that in Boston or with too much going on.

Tl;dr that pic is shit, build a new one.

>>52418374
How much did it cost?

How much did your parents pay for this pile of shit?

>>52417861
>fx 4300
>4gb ram
>r5 230
>$430
Kek

Your best bet is selling that potato and building something proper. Also read the sticky.

>>52418135
you could probably just buy a new GPU which will cost a bit but it's better than buying a whole new compy

Maybe like a R9 380X if you're looking to stay on a budget

Your motherboard almost certainly doesnt have the power delivery to support a better CPU.

Your PSU almost certainly doesnt have the wattage to support anything higher than a 750ti, which you shouldn't get.

Your current CPU and GPU are shit and need to be replaced.

Your current memory is insufficient.

Literally the only thing you have that you can carry over is the HDD and that ugly case.


You need to return that entire system and build your own, or buy from a site like NCIX and pay the $50 to build it for you if you're that incompetent.


Oh, and to all those who say Fallout 4 performs like shit on AMD hardware, open your global graphics settings and change tesselation to override: max 4x. 8x if you're stupid. You'll see virtually no change and massive FPS improvements. My roommate runs FO4 on a R9 270 on a mix of high/ultra settings at 60fps with dips in certain places down to 40.

>>52418192
This is wrong as fuck.
I built my PC 2 years ago with a GPU that cost ~$200 at the time and I'm running Fallout 4 on high settings. There's much more to your PC that can be salvaged, desu if you just buy a new gpu you'd probably be good. It'd run you about $150-$250 to play it on medium - ultra

Op you need to be 18 to post on 4chan.

>>52418701
kek
Just because my parents bought me something doesn't mean I'm underaged.

>>52418584
How does a 8320 with a r9 290 sound?

>>52418724
You are if they buy you a " iBUYPOWER gaming computer".

To all the people telling him to buy an FX-8320, you're going to either fry his motherboard's VRMs or suffer horrible thermal throttling. Not due to CPU temps, but VRM overheating. You can't stick a 130W chip on a board that can barely feed a 60W chip, and if you believe there's an 8 phase VRM design in there or even heatsinks on a 6 phase VRM, then I've got a bridge I'd like to sell you.

>>52418633
>my parents got me an iBUYPOWER gaming computer
Dude It's a gift, go back to your shitty chinkpad

>>52418740
Sounds like shit single threaded performance with a side of friend motherboard and fried PSU.

>>52418776
>shit single threaded perf from the CPU, doesn't affect the GPU perf. Wouldn't be different from a 8320 r9 390
>fried motherboard implies a fucked PSU, which is irrelevant

What are you telling me here? Not OP btw.

>>52418845
Refer to
>>52418751

MoBo fries because it cant supply enough power for the CPU and PSU fries because it can't supply enough power for the GPU.

I seriously hope this is a joke, what a piece of shit.

>>52418954
I'm thinking about a similar situation though, not OP's shitty set. 970 chipset and 650W PSU.

>>52419047
PSU will be fine.

Motherboard probably not. Only 970 chipset board I know of that can handle an FX-8320 including OC headroom is the GA-970A-UD3P, and only the UD3P version.

You could probably get by with an 8370e if you at least have a heat sink on your VRMs, but I wouldnt overclock it.

Holy shit, selected everything at the lowest price per component on their shitty website; still 750$. lel, unbelievable retards pay good money for this piece of utter shit

>>52419098
Hmm.. alright, thanks.

>>52419047
Oh, and CPU performance does affect GPU performance in a way.

GPU is good for X fps in a game at certain settings
CPU is good for Y FPS at those same settings

You get whichever is fps is lower. It's way more complicated as it's really done on a by-frame basis and it can even alternate between limiting factors from one frame to the next, and GPU draw calls themselves must be done by the CPU, but bottomline: yes. CPU performance obviously CAN affect Perceived GPU performance.

As a side note, this is why people say 4k is less of a CPU bottleneck. It isn't true, but the amount of GPU horsepower to achieve the same fps as 1080 is absolutely massive.

It's also why no CPU exists today that can drive demanding games for 144hz panels. The GPU horsepower exists (for 1080p, usually), but the CPU does not.
