Nvidia Inspector needed to make Fallout 4 FPS better/smoother?

[Jeff The Killer]

Using Razer Blade 2015, Fallout 4 don't run very well but did try mods and tips changes to .ini and Fallout4Prefs. Still have issue so I try to use Nvidia Control Panel and turn Vsync on, didn't work so guessing I need Nvidia Inspector to fix the issue. The website seems fishy for it to be actual website to download Inspector? Is there offical website to download it as well why I cannot find it on Nvidia offical website. They didn't make it?

NVIDIA Inspector was not made by NVIDIA, but by a developer called Orbmu2k and the site that officially hosts it isn't fishy at all, Guru3D is one of the oldest and most respectable tech sites on the internet.

Ok thanks. Reason why I see this website fishy is the ads so but guess I am wrong.

Can you explain me to how to do it or there is a guide for it. As well other guide on how to use it to make Fallout 4 run smoother?

Well, Inspector's usefulness is mostly to configure the graphics driver's innards to best suit your needs. On a mobile GPU (you're on a laptop), the use of this would be exceptionally limited. Maybe you can forcibly enable or disable some settings, or cap the frame rate. Inspector's better for desktops with multiple video cards, or if you want to add some driver-level control to any game you may run on your rig.

I understand, well I am using my laptop primarily for games but will get desktop then install nvidia inspector for it. Also to ask, if I get 2017 Razer Blade that has thunderbolt which can buy mini desktop. Would it work 100% with Nvidia inspector since two graphics cards?

You can't look at gaming PC's like consoles, it's difficult to even know what exactly does a Razer Blade has as CPU/GPU/memory although I have a good idea of how well it does perform because I'm aware of these computers as a whole. Thunderbolt 3 GPU enclosures "work", but they don't provide the performance level you will find on a proper desktop system due to the very limited bandwidth available, and to the best of my knowledge there are no implementations which support multi-GPU to any extent.

Inspector is not a cure-all for performance, it's a driver tweak-tool. Fallout 4 even has a properly configured SLI profile out of the box for people who do run 2+ video cards, Inspector's usefulness for it would be controlling G-Sync/frame rate target control at a driver level, strictly for more advanced users.

I don't wanna sound like a dolt but someone at your tech level would likely have zero uses for NVIDIA Inspector other than maybe manually increasing fan speed for enhanced cooling, unless you're following a very specific optimization tutorial.

Ok gotcha. And I do agree with you. I still have a long way ahead to understand more on PC gaming. Before, was on console so now on PC but I am planning to get desktop soon hopefully.

Once you master the PC generics, you'll find that the PC's freedom and customization capabilities are invaluable and you'll never look at consoles with the same eyes again. May I recommend you the fine PC Gaming Master Race reddit, they'll get you started in all you need to know. Good stuff to read is their hardware guides, the "why pc?" essay, very helpful folks that weren't even around when I got started. Good stuff.

Thank you for the help and recommendation!

It's also just badly optimized

Agreed. But its the game with all of their games or it just Fallout 4 itself is badly optimized?

That I can't say, but my pc is overkill for this game and I still drop to 30-40 fps in some areas. Just let that sink in. I play most games on ultra at 144 fps with no drops.

It's not even that Fallout 4 is badly optimized. It has insane system requirements due to the very complex environments and badly aging engine.

My GTX 980s in SLI are only good for around ~14000 draw calls/frame according to the ENBSeries profiler, above this it will drop below 60 fps... at 20000 draw calls per frame it'll be at 40 fps; and that's because the game engine is completely multithreaded, and at that point it'll be using more CPU power than a mainstream i7 CPU can realistically handle, for example. Add that to the fact it's insanely memory hungry and scales linearly with RAM speed/can use a lot of VRAM (8 GB+) even at 1080p, it becomes an insatiable beast of an engine. Optimized, but so insanely inefficient that it doesn't even matter.

Vanilla, with precombined meshes and textures, the game runs well on just about any hardware, draw calls won't be so high and textures won't be as heavy, but crank up the mods and the optionals though... it gets out of hand quick.

I mean I'm running a 7700k at 4.8 ghz (haven't gone for 5 yet because lazy have h115i) 3200mhz 16 gb ram and a 1080 ti, as far as builds go this is near the top and I still get issues.

Edit: I should add I'm running about 30 mods

I'll try to oversimplify as much as I can: Fallout 4 is a video game, alright, and as such as its GPU requirements and all of that, but as far as the game behaves, it's a lot closer to a database of some sort. It's fully multithreaded and it relies heavily on cache size and memory speed/latency, which is why the game runs kind of like crap even on the finest gaming CPUs you can get. It oddly runs like a champ on enterprise-class CPUs, like mine, average performance improvement against my old 4770K (which was clocked similar to your 7700K) was around 4x yield in frame rate in some areas like the Boston Common.

I can't say I'll believe that until I see it, unless the 4770k is somehow better then the 4790k.

btw speaking of 7700K, i'd feel pretty gutted knowing it got demoted to a Core i3, Ryzen really put the pressure... the i3-8350K's basically a 7700K with the hyper threading and TSX-NI disabled

This improvement isn't worth buying a new motherboard and ram when I have a great cpu I've already owned for a while.

[Jeff The Killer]

Have to mention that I remember before I use Special K which fix Fallout 4 very well and FPS never drop from 60 unless in Diamond City but just in few spots but haven't played since that time so now I decide to reinstall it and use Special K again but instead it crashed so guessing the K isn't up to date.

Yeah I know, it's still a great CPU, but damn, now everyone will be able to have 7700K's on the cheap basically lol

Strange thing to say, why would I be upset that other people get an oppurtunity to get better pcs? Mine performs fine in every game except this one, and the only people who claim to get flawless performance never show proof of it in those high demand areas.

So frankly there is no reason to be upset, and even if there was if the difference was large enough I could just buy the better parts.

Its real cute how the morons thought they could host ads that are malicious witthout consequence. Now their entire means of revenue has been permanently crippled.
