AN IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING GRAPHICS
AND HAVING THE BEST POSSIBLE EXPERIENCE
Fallout 3 used some of the most advanced graphics effects available today aimed at achieving real-time
performance for a great game playing experience. The game was developed and tested using NVIDIA®
GeForce™ 8, 9 and GTX 200 Series graphics cards and the intended experience can be more fully realized
on GeForce 8, 9 and GTX 200 Series graphics hardware. On a GeForce 8600 or better you will be able to
turn on all of the NVIDIA special effect features at higher resolutions of the game.
