This """""mod""""" is pretty much for those too lazy to do it themselves, and will NOT change visual quality, only performance.
NOTE:The "bInvalidateOlderFiles=0" option has been changed to "bInvalidateOlderFiles=1" to allow mods, you will not need to add this to these INI's.
A readme is included to instruct you how to force Shader Model 3.0 to work on your 3.0 capable card, even if it doesn't want to. Using SM 3.0 is usually faster than 2.0. This is a fairly simple and safe procedure.
Additional Instructions for basic system maintaining and brief overclocking suggestions are also included in the main download.
The INI file is a list of configurable options that the game engine uses to determine certain in-game parameters. Mostly these options pertain to loading, audio, havok, and shader usage.
These preset INI's are modified to increase stability and performance for those already using the "VERY HIGH" setting for Fallout 3, as this is the case, please be sure that your hardware is at least capable of the "HIGH" setting before using these files. Other requirements include:
1. At least 3 GB of RAM, Preferably 4 (DDR3 or DDR2)
2. A current graphics card capable of Shader Model 3.0 with at least 512 MB of Onboard Ram
Nvidia 8000 Series or better.
ATI 3000 Series or better.
3. A Dual,TRI, or Quad Core processor. Intel or AMD.
Dual-core Intel Pentiums are not recommended however.
Instructions for the various tweaks available are included in the main download.
