Fallout 4: GTX 570 vs GTX 970 Graphics Comparison November 9, 2015 by Holly Green

If you’re wondering what the difference is between the minimum and maximum PC specs for Fallout 4, take a look at t hese screenshots.

While I was writing my review for Fallout 4, the worst possible thing happened: my graphics card gave up the ghost. My GTX 570, which is close to the GTX 550 minimum recommended for Fallout 4, wasn’t cutting it; the constant crashes were making my game impossible to play. I had the GTX 970 sent overnight, and the difference between the two was amazing.

I took some screenshots mirroring those I took before I made the switch, so you can see the dramatic difference in textures. The most notable differences seem to be in the foliage, particularly tree branches, and in the patterns on the ground, like brick or asphalt. I should probably do some more tweaking, but in general the after photos seem softer and less garish.

What do you think, worth the price I paid for the GTX 970?
