FALLOUT3 IMPACT by mamelukturbo and weijiesen

[Kelmych]

IMPACT is available for both Fallout 3 and Fallout NV

 

IMPACT for FO3      IMPACT for FNV

 

This mod makes shooting bullets more realistic (and fun) by showing the impact effects and the associated damage to objects from bullet impact. For example, if you shoot at a building you will see the bullet hit the building, and there will then be a small hole where the bullet hit. This mod can noticeably affect game performance, so several versions with different performance impact are provided. It complements EVE which provides energy weapon effects, and not surprisingly was written by the author of EVE.

I've found overall it seems to be less intensive than EVE.  However, even with with my GTX980 the metal deformation effect causes notable pauses.  Using the optional no refract removed any issues.
