I currently have a 5 year old Quad core computer. I have to play Fallout 4 on the lowest settings and at 800x500 to be mostly playable. Anyone think just a memory and/or video card upgrade will be enough to see some decent frame rates at a better resolution or is processor too slow as well? I'm currently running a Quad Q8200@2.3Ghz, 4 gb of ddr2 memory, and a 1 gb GeForce gtx 430 video. thx.
Definately not the best cpu for games.

GeForce GT 430 is a middle-class Graphics Card

Now if you can post the make and model of your computer we will see if ram can be increased.
Is Fallout 4 installed to the computer?
Your card is way down this list

I would suggest upgrading the computer to something like a i5 cpu, 8 GB of ram and may even consider a SSD to really speed things up.
Big difference
