60 fps, HOW??? ( SOLVED )

[water]

Hi everybody.
I have tried a few monts before to get fallout 4 running smooth with no stuttering but I was not successful.
Yesterday I gave it a new try and I made different changes in the ini files. I followed some hints but nothing changed.
Especially at the beginning (in the house) the game stutters.
I have deactivated v sync in nvidia inspector but nothing changed.

Is it a good idea to deactivate vsync?
What can I do to play it with constant 60 fps?

My specs are:
i 7 2600
nvidia 650 gtx
win 7 64 bit

I have a second pc, too:
i 7 2600 sandy bridge, quad core
nvidia 970 gtx
win 7 64 bit

Hi at all:

Here is my solution that worked in my case:

I have chosen to play Fallout 4 in Window Borderless mode.
The option is in the launcher options, lower left corner. I have checked both boxes.
I guess it is a good idea to let the ini files unchanged. Don't make the files read only.
It is very important that your desktop resolution is the same as the resolution of Fallout 4.
Then you have a fullscreen "effect" in window borderless mode.

Fallout's engine does not run 61+ fps so no, don't need too deactivate vsync.

Your monitor can also affect things, as with mine, which is a Samsung ue590 and above a certain resolution it will not go beyond 30fps at all at least not for skyrim/fallout 4, the monitors refresh rate locks it to that.

Time to upgrade, maybe?

my monitor supports 144 Hz, so there is no limit or not? I want to play it in full hd

Pretty much the max fps you want is 60 anyting more than that and it can cause problems or at least that is what seems to be said about it, at least for this game.

this is why I have tried to lock nvidia to 60 fps - not successful

You also need to edit the ini files as well for that to work.

Also this guide seems ok, though I would guess you already had a look at it https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=553948156

sadly this does not help.
i have locked it with nvidia inspector which should be the same as riva tuner.
And I have edited the ini.
Nothing changed.
current settings:
iPresentInterval=0
bTopMostWindow=1
bMaximizeWindow=0
bBorderless=0
bFull Screen=1
iSize H=1080
iSize W=1920

hmm, damn it I had the same problem and needed to edit the other ini files to get things working, damn if i can rember where the other ones are though.

ok, try this it may or may not help goto SteamApps\common\Fallout 4\Fallout4 and there should be fallout4prefs.ini there, make a back up and then try changing the values in that to the ones you have in your main ini file.

To be honest this should not be need it should work from the ini files in the my documents folder which are the ones you should have edited, but for some reason for me it did not take till i changed that ini file as well.

i know that there are 2 files with the same name on 2 different locations.
I have changed the values in both files in the same way and made it read only.
But honestly I have given up. Thanks anyway

Have you tried the FPS clamp?
In Fallout4.ini file, under general, write:
iFPSClamp=60

This is for when you see stuttering even if the games is running at 60fps already, its a common "fix".

Keep in mind this messes up the animation of the Vault doors opening (i.e the door won't open).

Might be a port issue? HDMI (not HDMI2.0) I don't think does over 60FPS when you go over 1080p.

This is why it's usually better to go DVI-D or, ideally, Display Port

Im sure its Fallout4.ini in Documents/My Games/Fallout4.

I think that if there was a real solution, you would also find only 1 solution by searching a fix.
Instead there are hundreds of switches that you can toggle.
100 entries in the ini. Some have effect, some less, some not.
Meanwhile I believe there is no real fix. This engine is such a f***
