Can my computer run Fallout 3?

[Paragon Fury]

I've done the SystemRequirementsLab diagonistic on my computer.

It says it will run, but I fail the Recommended Requirements. Now I believe there is no point in buying a game if its not going to run well, and minimum just doesn't cut it. So if it says it can't, why am I asking you?

Because its said the same thing about Oblivion and Shadows of Chernonbyl. Yet I can run Oblivion on High and with many different mods (with some help from Operation Optimization admittingly) and I can run the Complete 2009 mod version of Stalker on medium-high with no issues.

Which has me sitting on the border - do I believe the assement and save myself $40-$60 and not get Fallout 3 GoTY, or do I go with the chance that it will be like Oblivion and Stalker and do just fine?

Hey, I run on minimum and it was a blast. If you can run it, that's all that matters.

Sorry, linking to the site doesn't show us your analysis. You're going to have to copy/paste or put a screenshot up. But if you can run Oblivion on High, odds are you'll be able to handle Fallout 3 without too much trouble- F3 actually has a (somewhat) more stable version of the Oblivion engine.

Could you post your PC stats? It would help a lot.

Yea, can you post your junk?

Ah damn it. I've forgotten how to get the general systems report on Vista. Anyone willing to remind me how?
