Fallout 4 — system requirements & benchmark status
This game is in the catalog, but no published review benchmarks have been collected for it yet — so this page carries no frame-rate numbers, no verdicts and no estimates. Below are the publisher's own system requirements and what they say about the hardware the game targets. A game joins the calculator only when published review benchmarks cover both its CPU and GPU sides.

System requirements — Fallout 4
As published by the publisher on Steam (checked 4 November 2026). Requirements are the publisher's target figures, not measurements — they describe the hardware the developer aims at, not the frame rate any part delivers.
| Component | Minimum (Steam) | Recommended (Steam) |
|---|---|---|
| Notes | Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system | Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system |
| OS * | Windows 7/8/10 (64-bit OS required) | Windows 7/8/10 (64-bit OS required) |
| Processor | Intel Core i5-2300 2.8 GHz/AMD Phenom II X4 945 3.0 GHz or equivalent | Intel Core i7 4790 3.6 GHz/AMD FX-9590 4.7 GHz or equivalent |
| Memory | 8 GB RAM | 8 GB RAM |
| Graphics | NVIDIA GTX 550 Ti 2GB/AMD Radeon HD 7870 2GB or equivalent | NVIDIA GTX 780 3GB/AMD Radeon R9 290X 4GB or equivalent |

Hardware demand level
Moderate — estimated from the graphics card named in the recommended requirements above (GTX 780). The demand level classifies the publisher's published requirements only; it is not a benchmark result and predicts no frame rate.
Benchmark status
Not yet measured. Bottleneck Verdict adds a game to the calculator when published review benchmarks cover both sides at the game's highest settings, native resolution, no upscaling — the same bar the measured games met. Until then this page claims no performance figures for Fallout 4.
