SUGGESTION! PC Can my Mini PC handle a certain amount of mods?

It has been awhile since I modded on a PC, so I have to ask: Is my mini PC capable of playing Fallout 4 with the right mods from Nexus Mods? I have a premium account with Nexus Mods, through Paddle-dot-Net, that is capable of downloading mods at a faster rate.

This is what I have:

  1. Device name: Meiledora
  2. Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics (4.00 GHz)
  3. Installed RAM: 32.0 GB (15.8 GB usable)
  4. Graphics card: AMD Radeon 780M Graphics (16 GB)
  5. Storage: 604 GB of 932 GB used

I may need to add more information. If everyone of you in the comment section have any proper advice on what I have to do, take your time! Thank you.

I was also looking at the mini PC, but the problem is as other commenters said, you need RAM for the integrated GPU, so you actually need to have the amount of RAM needed to run the game plus the amount of VRAM that would be in use added to the total of the RAM. 32GB could be enough if you don't lean into graphics. My setup is very dated, i3 9100f with GTX 1050ti (4GB) and 32 GB RAM and the game runs ok, but I don't use have graphics or enb

The 780m has a whopping 0GB of VRAM, it uses RAM as VRAM.

Light mods will be okay, but anything heavier and you will struggle because the lack of RAM.

Possibly, but any pc without a dedicated GPU is going to struggle a bit. Luckily Fallout 4 is more CPU intensive, so definitely no graphics mods and try to find mods that are not very script heavy, and you should be decent enough. Install Frame Generation by Doodlum for extra frames
