In the hourlong quest that Vault 1080 adds to Fallout 4, players will head through a marsh to a church that obscures the entrance to the titular vault and its dark tunnels. Vault 1080’s visuals are more than mere eye candy, according to Nvidia - they’re key to the content of the mod. Other graphics upgrades include weapon debris and new materials. The mod uses Nvidia’s horizon-based ambient occlusion plus (HBAO+) technology to deliver volumetric lighting (such as god rays) and shadows that are more realistic than in standard Fallout 4.

Vault 1080 was developed by Nvidia LightSpeed Studios, an internal team that has focused primarily on remastering and remaking classic PC games for Android (and specifically, Nvidia Shield devices). The mod, Vault 1080, upgrades Fallout 4’s visuals and adds a creepy new quest line. The latest Fallout 4 mod comes from a surprising source: graphics card manufacturer Nvidia.
