#FALLOUT 4SHADOW QUALITY DRIVERS#

I started off with ultra and play 60fps and immediately found a clammy camera and I fixed that by putting the game on borderless windowed mode and now the camera is smooth as ever but then the fps dropped when I eventually got to the city of Lexington where a nuclear storm started and the fps drop to 45 which was terrible, I fixed low fps dropping to 45 by rolling back my fallout 4 game ready driver (seems that drivers crap on my side).Īfter another hour I arrive finally at Diamond City and enter and got a drop of frame to 45-50. When the issues arrive I am at about 45fps Settings before changes (Could you please post yours): Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600Mhz 2x4GB Dual Channel 8GB kit I will but text in bold that is a contributing factor to the problems and I would ask if you could do the same I thought this thread would be a good idea as if anyone is having problems with bugs, low fps and other issues with the game someone may have to the same problem. Also on the right side there is a crane in the distance which looks much better when anti-aliasing is active.I'd just like to find out what settings everyone is running on what gear as the game has been out where I live anyway for two days and I only just last night sat down and did a good 2 hours play of the game on recommended settings and I have come across bugs and low fps which I now have kind of fixed. The key change here is anti-aliasing and as you can see with it turned on using the high quality settings, the trees to the left look more impressive.

Interestingly the shadow or even the lighting effects difference between high and medium are not quite as dramatic this time. The trees and buildings in the distance look about the same however. The lighting on the water is much richer, while the shadows are stronger and more realistic.

The difference between the ultra high and the high quality screenshots above is now quite significant. The lack of anti-aliasing is also very noticeable, particularly when looking at the trees. You will notice that many of the rocks on the right side of the image are missing when using the medium quality settings. In the top left corner you can also see the top of two trees in the distance in the ultra high image which are missing when using the high settings.Īgain going from high to medium shows us the most drastic changes. There is a slight difference in lighting on the trees, the ultra high settings show a little more detail. The difference between the ultra high and the high quality screenshots is minimal when looking at the above images.

Almost all the distant detail is gone along with a great deal of lighting and shadow detail. Going from high to medium has a huge impact on visual quality and now there is a very noticeable difference in texture quality. The texture quality does remain the same from what we can tell. The farther grass and fences detail that was present in the ultra high screenshot are gone when using the high settings. The biggest difference is in the detail lost due to the capped draw distance. Going from ultra high to just high removes a small amount of lighting and shadows, though this is only very slightly noticeable. The ultra high quality settings gives us maximum draw distance, detail, and lighting/shadows. The above screenshots give us a good view over the wasteland where a lot of grass, rubble, and dead trees can be seen along with crumbled structures in the distance. Before we get stuck into the performance testing, let's just take a moment to look at and compare the game's three main visual quality presets.
