How do I turn off Vsync?
I have a RTX 2070 super so I should be able to run this game on ultra 60 FPS+

1.) go to C:\Users\YOURNAMEHERE\Documents\My Games\Fallout 76

2.) open the Fallout76Prefs.ini file

3.) Search the ini-file for the word "interval"

4.) set "iPresentInterval=1" to "iPresentInterval=0" (1 = vsync on ; 0 = vsync off)

dont turn it off completely, the game goes crazy weird if your fps are too high, force it on in the nvidia cp, or set max frames to like 75 or 80

true, I also had to go into my Nvidia settings for F076 and max the FPS at 140, otherwise if you use a power armor in a cave, it will constantly get stuck

The game still will have issues with frames even on a 2070. Some areas are just horribly optimized

You have to go into documents/My Games/Fallout76/Fallout76Pref.ini

In there find IpresentInterval=1 and change it to IpresentInterval=0

That will shut off v-sync and the 30 fps/60 fps cap.

Also, keep V-sync forced to off in your nvidia control panel/profile inspector, turn off shader cache and threaded optimization if still having issues, cap your FPS to just about your monitors refresh rate to avoid throttling during loading screens.

These fixes have helped me and many others.
