Stuck at 40fps in game no matter what settings with iPresentInterval=0

[Mikasa]

The title and loading screens will be 60fps but once I get in game it will literally go no higher than 40fps. Tried forcing Vsync on through AMD settings then forcing it off but the game will literally not budge out of 40fps no matter what I do.

I had a HD5870 that wouldn't run past 40 fps. My solution... I bought a GTX 1070.

Not trying to be a jerk or troll or anything; if you are running into a 'maximum' that the GPU can put out, it may be the max calculations/rendering the thing is capable of (playing video of the menu and loading screens is a different type of calculations/rendering).

It could also be a sign that your GPU is having issues (a power or bus problem, etc). Might want to run some tests on it or at least Benchmarks to see if it happens doing anything else. Is it only 3D rendering? Is it only Fallout 4?

Just some shots in the dark... Hope it starts off finding somethin' for ya'

well even movies only run at 30 fps, so you're all good. pretty much, at 40.

LOL
Check out youtube videos at 30 and 60fps and say it does not matter.

Peasent detected.

Here's a place to download a free benchmarking tool for your GPU.

game isnt AMD friendly

Are you running 75 or 85Hz display? If so, that's the problem.

I have a 60hz display and a 75hz display. Whenever I run the game on my 75hz it bounces around 48-52 fps and on my 60hz monitor it literally won't budge from 40fps.

It wont budge from 40fps whether I put everything to low at 640x480 or 1080p max settings

Oh, I see. Sorry, I was assuming that could possibly be the GPU's full potential. But since you run on very low settings and it is exactly the same...

It must be 'getting told to stay' at that framerate somewhere.. (unless it is a hardware issue, but we'll assume it is not one for now and that it is Software/Configuration somewhere)

You said it was an AMD GPU?
In Crimson, there is a FRAMERATE TARGET CONTROL in the Global Settings under the Gaming Tab. Is that 'Off'? I had mine set to 120fps usually, but for some games I had to turn it off.

Each game also has a Profile under the Gaming Tab. Check that Fallout 4's FTC is also turned off...

That's my idea for now. Might throw more in the pot if nothing changes, if that's alright.

I haven't had troubles with it, but of course it could cause some people problems, everyone's system is different.

(I just tested it with my old GPU, an R9 280 that I gave away when I got my 1060 for Xmas, today - and it seemed to work ok. It restricted a game from 180+fps to 60fps.)

I have it set to 60fps but it won't ever get there in game only on the title and loading screens

That's a record, only took 3 years for AMD to work that one out

That's got to be the oddest behavior i've ever seen. Does the same happen on borderless windowed mode?

On borderless windowed the game hovers 37-38fps on my 75hz
