Getting Smooth 60fps Even In Swan Lake
New to the game, but people are talking about low FPS drops in certain areas where I have been and there are no FPS drops for me at all. I haven't gone to the hang place or whatever people call it yet and I heard you can expect drops there. I am running around boston now and at Swan lake with a smooth 60fps at 4k. I even went in the water and awakened some giant thing that threw a rock at me and killed me instantly haha. Not disturbing him again just yet. I am using an SLI profile though that was uploaded on redit and godrays is turned off. Shadows and everything else though are maxed out.

How well your rig will run this game is basically a coin toss

wait until you get to the city area you will be saying different, Thier is a flaw in the game engine on that section of the map that everyone gets a performance drop on.

60fps in Diamond City too. Remember godrays is off and I am using a custom SLI profile in SLI inspector.

whats your spec?

Don't know about that yet. Have not done any settler stuff yet as it doesn't really appeal to me. I haven't even returned to preston gravy or whatever his name is since I know that is where you start the settlers mission.

Diamond City is a seperate cell that doesn't count, its the city areas that are connected to the main game map that are a problem

check areas like Bunker Hill or outside the entrance to Goodneighbor and see what your framerate is, its not related to God Rays its just some kind of performance bug with the game engine in the city area

Hanged Man Alley or looking down from Fallen Skybridge? are the worst are. Even then 45+ fps is achievable on maxed settings unlike some people here who claimed 30 and lower that happened to 'everybody'

I can only get 40 - 50 around the city directly after refreshing the cell from coming out of an interior, but I get stuck down to 25 - 30 almost instantly until I leave the city area of the map, its a flaw in the game code with purging the memory buffer or something in the city

I have never encountered this. Has anyone ever told you that your i7-2600K is not really that good any more, with the DDR3 1600Mhz not helping at all?

1440p maxed settings
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=862554414
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=862554273

1080p maxed settings
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=863787235
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=863786842

So much for your claim of everyone get the "bug" in the city at even 1080p.

If you don't think it's partly your PC fault, try TW3 maxed setting at 1440p right at this scene

And tell us what's your FPS is? Apparently it will be 'broken' for you as well.

Boost FOV to 90. I'm shocked how big a performance hit that was just from the default 80.

sure blame my CPU/RAM instead of game, if it was my CPU then I wouldn't be getting 60 - 144fps everywhere else in game outside

That's called CPU bottlenecked lol. As if all scenes and areas use exact same amount of resource.

No a CPU bottleneck is when the chip maxes out to 100%, Mine doesn't, most games it stays around the same CPU usage your screenshot shows

No dude, the chip does not need to max out 100% because not all program can use 100% of the CPU unless VERY BADLY CODING, or you are running stress test/encoding video.

I had AMD FX-6300 before and I have NEVER seen it at 100% playing video game even when pair with GTX 1060. And I'm 100% sure the AMD CPU bottlenecked it.
