Firstly is it possible to run it at a constant 60 fps? I've seen a lot of gameplay videos and such, but I haven't seen anyone playing this at a constant framerate. I played it myself and usually I drop at Corvega and some interiors.

Id say I'd have a pretty decent rig with the exception of my CPU but from Ultra to Low it runs about the same.

Cities (Boston): 15-25
Towns (Concord): 45 spikes down to 10
Nature: 50-35
Glowing Sea: Almost constant 60
Far Harbor: 45-30
Nuka World: 50 spikes to 30
Interior: Almost constant 60

and the settlements vary on how many objects are in the cell.

GPU: GTX 960
CPU: AMD FX-6300
RAM: 16GB
OS: Windows 10

That's all I can really post for my PC, I'm far from a hardware expert. Additionally, I don't have an SSD card, only an internal and external HardDrive both featuring 1 TB each.

To me it works perfectly at 60 fps everything in ultra except the goodrays in low (something that I do not care much)

This screenshot is not mine, it's the bethesda OFFICIAL solution regarding Stuttering, I have it all in ultra minus the goodrays

The SSD drives

If you have stuttering problems, just play in full window mode

@Danieldefense Oh wow I didn't expect you to take a screenshot of your settings o__o But hey! Thanks for the tip! Btw, don't you mind the jagged lines with your AA at zero?

You just have to lower settings. I get the whole Ultra PC Master Race stuff haha. However low settings that are really just over kill.

@EmiliaTan Oh man you have damn fine machine!

Sorry for the mix up @Danieldefense !

@EmiliaTan wait what? You can't run Fallout 4 on ultra at a constant 60 with those specs?

Plus, you have textures and shadows set to high, lighting and decals set to medium but Godrays set to high? GODRAYS are FPS killers! The godrays are decreasing your FPS more than everything else is. Best performance boost is to lower shadow distance and godrays, everything else especially with a great card like the 1070, doesn't need to be lowered.

Even with godrays set to ultra, with a 1070 you'd be able to reach ridiculous framerates with godrays on high or ultra.

@Corvo I'm aware the godrays lower your fps from 80 to somewhere around 35. I turned them on to test something and forgot. Also even with all settings on their lowest possibility you can't get 60 constant fps in the city. Even with ShadowBoost.

The biggest fps boost is shadows and LOD detail IMO, godrays as well. I turn that off.

Do not worry, you can take it to 60 fps perfectly

1-First put the goodrays in low, and the distance of the shadows in the middle

2-Then select the windowed mode and borderless

3- modify the prefs.ini


bMaximizeWindow=1
bBorderless=1
bFull Screen=0
iSize H=1080
iSize W=1920

I have a 1080TI, 16gb DDR4, and i7 7700k running at 1920x1080. My PC is literally at the top of the spectrum for graphics (apart from the resolution lol, I've had the same monitor for 5 years).

I have everything on ultra, ENB/reshade, war of the commonwealth, and a forest overhaul mod. I get 60fps practically everywhere.

The only place I don't get 60fps is in the city of Boston. And when it drops, I get like 25 FPS.
The main cause of the drop is war of the commonwealth spawning 200 NPCs around me though.

The best way to get performance out of Bethesda's shitty games is to tweak them for your pc, like the others said. I'm pretty sure there is practically no difference between ultra godrays and low godrays yet ultra completely fucking rapes your FPS. Thanks Bethesda..

Spoiler:

Does anyone have any tips for an old 8350 and a GTX 970 at 1080p? Pretty unstable FPS.

@zstan Man you have some strong ass computer! Btw, I love the look of your game It reminds me of The Last of Us with Telltale Walking Dead.

@Danieldefense Thank you again for the tip! I don't really have a great card. Right now, my card is just a GTX 850m so yeah. The only time I get 60fps is when I turn off the v-sync but then it screws up the lockpick mini game so I developed fast reflexes whenever i have to unlock something with it

This is my rig.

CPU Type : Intel Core i7-7700K @ 4.20GHz  (have not overclocked yet..)
CPU Measured Speed : 4.20 GHz [Turbo: 4.80 GHz]
Motherboard : MAXIMUS IX FORMULA
Memory : 64GB
Video Card Tested : GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (Founders edition.  Not overclocked)
Hard Drive Tested : Samsung SSD 960 EVO 500GB (500 GB)

I run on full ultra settings at 1920x1200 and am at 60fps everywhere - even with the god rays.. I don't have an ENB installed (yet) however I run a lot of higher resolution graphic mods...

At this point I am running stock coolers on the video card however I do have an AIO watercooler on the CPU.  At some point I plan on adding in a custom water loop and will be overclocking the system at that point.

I'm running SLI 970's and an i5 4670K, but considering that Fallout 4 doesn't have a proper SLI profile, I'm pretty much running it on a single card. That said, I'm running the game maxed out at 1440p, except I have the shadow distance set to its lowest because for whatever reason that setting seems to be my biggest FPS killer. I'm able to run above 60FPS most of the time but I do get the occasional dip every once in a while.

I found the real issue with the game. It eats my CPU. If I put my settings on Ultra with the high res textures I get the exact same fps as I do with all low settings. My GPU is a monster(GTX 1070) but my i5 4690(which the game recommends an i5 4790, however they run exactly the same in games) is the bottleneck. Its a great CPU as well. The best marketable one that intel has right now is only 30% better and its the i7 7700k. I really want to wait till there is one that is 50% better before I jump the gun. Idk what to do to make it eat less of my CPU as most of the settings are GPU intensive.

We are totally seeking the opposite direction. From some reasons, my fallout 4 started to run with stable 120fps and it causes crashes and bugs. I just found a way through Nvdia inspector to lock the frame cap.

@zstan Almost same specs as you ( 6700k and 1080ti OC)+ 120hz screen. All clear, whatever area .

I use an Nvidia gtx970 4gb with an i7 4790k quad core and 16gb of RAM. Without enb, it can handle a fairly heavily modded Fallout 4 at around 60fps constant.

With enb however, I take a hit of 5-10 frames in particularly heavily drawn areas (trees and such)
