I've had to stop playing Fallout, while my computer can run the game, the more texture intensive areas are burning up my cpu, literally. I've a high-powered fan board and its just barely keeping the laptop cool when I'm playing. Its the only game I'm having that trouble with.

They use 4k texture for the default, I believe. There are several mods available on Nexus mods that downscale to 2k textures without any noticeable loss of graphic fidelity that are easier on computers. This is the one that I use: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/1769/? and it also has a 1k texture pack as well. Using that and RenVision's Reshade ENB I find the game is a lot sharper looking and performs slightly better.
Of course, there are things you can do to cut back on how much work your CPU and VPU has to work. Reducing shadows is a way to really help out both how much work your computer is doing and improve framerates. Yes, the game may not look as good, but to me at least I would rather have vague, blobby shadows than trying to chug along at a game in the teens for frames per second.
TheEvilDog:
I had the mod that reduced the texture to an eighth of the original size and the instant I got in range of Diamond city, the game would slow to a crawl. Basically every trick I could do to improve gameplay hasn't really helped. It doesn't really matter anyway, my laptop is a few years old and nearing burnout, so I'll be upgrading in February.
Neko_Ali:
Yeah, if you have an older system there really isn't a lot you can do. The requirements of this game are pretty heavy. My system is fairly new, most of it was upgraded earlier this year, but basically with what was considered 'good' last year. I never have the money for the latest and greatest system. I can run it mostly on high, with tweaking and downscaling. The framerate isn't as smooth as I would like by far. But I can play without my computer self combusting.

Well, shit. Fallout 4 was on sale. There goes my free time :psyduck:
