With the gaming community just getting done with the Xbox One Beta release, it is now time for the PC world to experience Fallout 76. The Beta will kick off on October 30. However, as we saw earlier, the Beta will not be active at all times as the servers for the game will go online for a few hours, depending on what needs to be tested. So, for all those interested in the Fallout 76 Beta, keep in mind that you have to keep a track of when the servers for the game are live.

 

Fallout 76 Beta System Requirements 
That being said, let us start off with the system requirements needed to run the Fallout 76 beta smoothly. Check out the complete details down below: 

- Requires 64-bit processor and operating system 

- OS: Windows 7/8/10 (64-bit OS required) 

- Processor: 
* Minimum: Intel Core i7 4790 3.6 GHz/AMD Ryzen 3 1300X 3.5 GHz or equivalent 
* Recommended: Intel Core i7-4790 3.6 GHz / AMD Ryzen 5 1500X 3.5 GHz 

- Graphics: 
* Minimum: NVIDIA GTX 780 3GB/AMD Radeon R9 285 2GB or equivalent 
* Recommended: Nvidia GTX 970 4GB / AMD R9 290X 4GB 

- Memory: 8 GB RAM 

Whereas according to the announcement, the Beta will require a minimum of 60GB of hard drive space for its installation.

    Betas usually state higher system requirements than release.  The 3.6 ghz is probably more important then the I7.

    Strange, I have a 4770k, and it's stock at 3.5 GHz.  It seems to imply the 4770k will be below minimum specs required, but it matches up with the 4790 on everything but the clock (though 4770k provides a higher max dynamic frequency than does the 4790).

    Is that .1 clock speed really that significant a difference in processor performance for video games?  I didn't think the processor was a huge bottleneck issue for most games.

    How can their minimum and recommended CPU for Intel be the same?

    Not really.  My I5 3.4 ghz would probably run it just fine.  Just not at maximum settings.  My AMD R9 270 would have a greater performance hit effect than the CPU.

    Might require more than 4 threads, thus the 4/8 core CPUs.

    I imagine you'll be fine. Just add a few LED lights and maybe 1 or 2 extra fans. Use diesel instead of premium gas. But be careful of playing long hours next to the fumes.

    No, Ryzen 3 has only 4 threads.

    Well, since this is being brought up, whats the big difference in techonologies when it comes to speed in GHz and actual processing power.

    If someone takes a 7 year old processor and over clocks it to 4GHz, whats the difference with a stock i7.

    Im sure there are more techonologies, but in terms of actual video gaming, what are the benefits of more FPS, smoother play etc?

    "But when comparing the CPU clockspeeds of different processor designs, it's generally apples-to-oranges. For two CPUs with the same clockspeed, a shorter pipeline has an advantage because it stays full more often. For two CPUs with the same pipeline depth but different clockspeeds, the higher clockspeed gives it an advantage. For two CPUs with different clockspeeds, it depends on the pipeline depth and other factors."

    I found this in an article, https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2011/04/ask-ars-whats-the-relationship-between-cpu-clockspeed-and-performance/

     and a 7 year old cpu would have good enough techonology. So, it would be interesting to know and over clocked cpu with good enough tech vs stock i7 with similar speed. Or even to what degree could you over clock to compensate to get similar performance to a new cpu.
