Introduction

Fallout 4 is undoubtedly one of the biggest launches of this year, being the highlight of this years E3 and one of the most pre-ordered titles of recent history. This game has had real life beer and Cola made specifically for its release, had a collectors edition that they couldn't manufacture enough of and has been the game that the internet has been in hysteria for months as the game became ever closer to launch.

Now we have gotten an opportunity finally to test this title, on the most recent drivers form both sides and using both of today's flagship GPUs, the R9 Fury X and the GTX 980 Ti.

This will be the game that many players will no doubt spend hundreds of hours playing, so let's see how well it performs.

Test Setup

We will be testing this game on our dedicated GPU test rig using the current flagship GPUs from both AMD and Nvidia. Both GPUs will be the reference design and will be ran at stock settings.

Being a Nvidia branded title this game is expected to favour Nvidia GPUs, especially since Nvidia is heavily marketing the fact that it uses Nvidia features like TAA, Godrays and Bokeh Depth of field. We will see if this prediction is correct as we play and benchmark this game.
