I'm just trying Fallout 4 on a ATI HD 5870 which has only 1GB RAM.
& Core 2 Quad Q9550 at 3.5 GHz, 8 GB DDR2 RAM Dual Channel.
Resolution 1680 x 1050
Despite the 1 GB RAM Graphics it's running OK with preset 'Low'.
Its very modest on CPU around 50 % total but has the GPU at 100% constantly.
Looks as good to me as on i7 machine with GTX 770 2GB Graphics on 'High'
pre set.
Odd thing tho is on that 2 GB card the memory usage was ALLWAYS 1.4 to 1.6
GB regardless
of the quality setting. Low or High.
But on this 1 GB card its 900 MB ???!!!
