Slow FPS when NPC's around
Games runs great (100fps plus) on my 660 GTX but Iv noticed when i go in the bar at the start of the game (where 2 people are) it drops to around 40 - 45 fps.... Is this a glitch, the game aint exactly a graphical masterpiece...

Well Since this game has a hard coded 60 FPS frame rate cap, how are you getting 100 FPS+ ???????

Nope, the framerate can go above 60 if you disable V-sync in Fallout_default.ini and set it to read only.

Try to find out if it's the interiors or the people who cause it.

Hi, it seems its the interior thats doing it, I run this on a 120hz screen and fraps shows well over 60fps until i go in the bar area at the start of the game. Not sure why :(

Well sure the game can be uncapped if you dig thre the program files and modify .ini files. This is true of any electronic game where you have acess to the system files. The fact of the matter is the game will not run properly if you go and monkey with that .ini file. I thought the point of videogames was to play them, not get a smooth but unplayable mess. The cap is there. Deal with it.

The thing is I have not gone into any of the games files ot tinkered with it in any way, It just drops majorly in FPS when I enter the Bar at the start of the game, I have Vsync enabled in game and used Fraps tp show my FPS, it runs well over 60FPS and goes up to 120FPS max (To match the refresh rate of my 120hz monitor)

That was a bit... hostile.

The point was that the cap isn't hardcoded, it's just that the launcher's v-sync option only does half of it's job.

Not if some feature is hardcoded, no. The FPS cap clearly isn't.

The game works just fine after modifying the ini files, that's a perfectly normal thing to do in PC gaming, especially with the lackluster in-game graphics menus we get with the console ports these days. Not a necessary thing by any means, but people who actually care about how their games look and run do this all the time, no need to go all pissy about it.

Wrong, the game will not work just fine after the ini modification. The game will run too fast. I know this not only from personal experience but also from studying about the game online. If I thought it would make you shut up, then I would provide overwhelming links with proof, but I doubt that would even do the trick so why bother ya know?

Flame me all you want to. Your just mad because you were wrong about the Fallout NV frame cap and now you don't know what to say other than cuss me out. Here's an idea: Either admit your were wrong and get over your lack or knowlege, or provide a little proof that you were right. I'm not above admitting when i'm wrong. Obviously your the type who thinks they are always right. Everyone makes a mistake at some point, it's nothing to get mad over.
