    Hey guys,

    I am huge into Fallout 3. I am still tweaking to get my graphics settings the way I want them.

    I love eye candy, and Fallout 3 has a lot of different options for tweaking graphics settings.

    Who has messed with it on their 7811fx? I found that when I went 1920x1200 with medium settings (I think it was medium, it turned both the AA off) I hit the 60 FPS cap.

    When I turn either of them on, even on 2x, performance ranges from 45 FPS down to 20 fps. I do like eye candy, what are the best settings to not dip below 30 fps and keep 1920x1200?

    Thanks!

    I run fallout 3 at 1920x1200 with pretty much everything set to high. I don't use AA at this res because its really not needed.

    I am same with every one else...I do 1920x1200 on preset High with no AA or AF. Runs smooth, with a few rare stutters when out doors (perhaps a little OC can fix).
