Can't wait, looks super fun! But I'm wary of the recommended system requirements, seems heavily skewed towards Intel based CPUs and GPUs.
Windows 7/8/10 (64-bit OS required)
Intel Core i7 4790 3.6 GHz/AMD FX-9590 4.7 GHz or equivalent
8 GB RAM
30 GB free HDD space
NVIDIA GTX 780 3GB/AMD Radeon R9 290X 4GB or equivalent
I've been putting off upgrading my PC for so long, but I'll probably have to at least get a new GPU for this. Do you really think an AMD graphics card would have issues? I've only ever used NVIDIA but there are some good deal for Radeon cards that i've seen lately.
I feel ya, I've recently updated my PC after 5 years. I spent around $400 and got 8 more gigs of ram, H60 liquid CPU cooler, GTX970 Windforce, Samsung 840 Pro SSD and a S340 NZXT white case (which is REALLY pretty!) used/refurbished off eBay. I've never had issues with AMD cards, Crossfire motherboards cost less than SLI ones, probably because you need two x16 PCI-E ports for SLI, Crossfire can use x4. AMD always seemed like better future proofing on a budget. I think you'll be fine with a strong AMD card, but you could get away with a cheaper card if you go the Nvidia route, at least for Fallout. Newer AMD cards surpass Nvidia when it comes to DirectX 12, but fallout won't be running DX12. There are advantages to each I guess.
But the AMD CPU requirements for this game is insane.
