Fallout 4 will be a Nvidia GameWorks supported title




Next months Fallout 4 release will receive some extra eye candy for Nvidia graphcis card owners as the game has Nvidia gamworks enhancements enabled in the game. That by itself is good news, albeit certain effects as such might run worse or not at all on AMD videocards.
Developer and software house Bethesda revealed this news with Wccftech. While the extra image and scene effects will be in addition to the normal rendering engine, they will eat away a chunk in performance. Developers can license the GameWorks implementation, but are not allowed to share that code with AMD can result into a bigger performance impact on AMD hardware. If you take into consideration what happened to other GameWorks titles such as Assassin's Creed Unity and Batman: Arkham Knight, (horrible launches) for the PC, some gamers feel it will be safer for Bethesda to introduce the effects in later updates to prevent what happened in the past with these titles. A recent example of something similar was The Witcher 3, Nvidia Hairworks was injected into the game, available for both parties, yet for AMD this turned out to be an unoptimized performance hog when enabled.
Currently it is not know if the Gameworks effects only work on Nvidia hardware or will optionally on AMD hardware as well. The minimum graphics card system requirements are off though, for Nvidia a Nvidia GTX 550Ti is the minimum card to use and for AMD a Radeon HD 7870, two completely different caliber cards.
Bethesda announced that all 27 versions of Fallout 4 have been finalized and are ready to go. The game launches for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on Nov. 10.

Must be why the price jumped $10.00 on Steam.

It was more of a nod to today's standard of release it first, fix it later mentality.

It still is 59,99EU as it was weeks ago.
Unless you live in Australia or Russia where the prices change relatively fast I vey much doubt that statement.

I am very interested how buggy it will be, because they had more than 3 months for fixing. But in this day and age, day 1 patch is like the new DRM.

Well, I'll break the mold and be excited! I suspect we may have the first real competition to The Witcher 3 for GOTY.

Well i finished F3 five times, because i just love Fallout and always wanted an Fallout FPS game, but thankfully never encountered that bug. But in Oblivion, F3 and Skyrim i got random crashing on fast travel, saving etc. It was and still is annoying as f*ck. Funnily New Vegas, the classic buggy child of Obsidian, was more stable in that regard then the other three games, and it crashed very rarely.

I'll just wait for the 'Fallout' from the launch day disaster that all too frequently occurs with AAA releases, except I won't be buying it due to the price! When FO4 hits a steam sale at £8.99 like FO3 GOTY/New Vegas Ultimate did with all DLC then I might be interested, but at £40 for 'base' game and £25 for the DLC you can get ****** Bethesda

That's how long from launch that it will take before the first nude mod is up on Nexus for this game.
Whenever the first clutch of DLC is out, is how long it will take Bethesda to officially drop bug fix support, because the game is great

Never, how long it will take the community to fix the bugs... because the community is always finding and fixing issues with these games.

Heh, forever. The unofficial Skyrim patch is still being updated and the game's been out since 2011.

Why don't they do a collab with coca cola and make nuka cola?
I mean beer? Sure, but why not make it one of the most iconic fallout things.
