GTX 1070TI Medium/High settings only 45FPS?
I have a GTX 1070TI GPU and with the game running on only medium and high settings I am getting about 45FPS in Vault 111, even worse out in the common wealth...wtf? Any reason for this? I have a Intel i7 7700K processor OC'ed at 4.8GHz and 16 Gbs of 3733 speed RAM so I shouldn't have any issues running the game. The game is located on a Samsung EVO 960 M.2 Drive. I have also checked and made sure my monitor's refresh rate is at the correct rate and it is. Any ideas?

Couple things you should check:

1. Make sure you don't have some kind of conflicting adaptive vertical sync on. If your monitor is 90HZ default, it's probably half-syncing your game's FPS

2. make sure your PC is set to high performance and not power saving. Personally I like to do a little custom work and set Minimum processor speed to 99% and max to 100% when I overclock, so the CPU cores throttle down to their stock but throttle up into OC territory when pegged. Do the same in the Nvidia control panel. Make sure the GPU is set for Maximum performance or at least adaptive. (Not Power saving)

Make sure vsync is off in your Nvidia control panel.

If you downloaded the Free HR Texture pack DLC, uncheck it in your library DLC for the game.

Go to the game's Options menu, then Advanced. Lower Shadow Distance to medium or low, turn off Godrays and Weapon Debris.

After doing some looking and messing around I figured out the issue. I had my monitor on 144Hz and since Fallout 4 can not exceed 60FPS it was cut down to the 48FPS instead. The game runs smooth at 60FPS when my monitors refresh rate is at 120Hz.

Yeah, Fallout 4 hates good monitors.

That, or the game hates those could not tweak their pc competently, which is both not good for the game company.

For the last time the softworks just publish games, they are not developing sh_t.

Fallout 4 was developed by Bethesda Game Studios, still part of the same company overall. The Softworks part works as an extra pun because everything Bethesda develops and publishes just works. Not well, but it works. It's a joke, so relax.

You should beable to run at max settings, I just bought a GTX 1060OC which I belive is lower than yours, I have the same processer as you, I also have the 4K HD gfx mods and im getting 75fps 100% of the time. As said its your graphics card settings. With the, if you have NVIDIA control panel, you can do a custom screen size and Hz resolution, I have mine set at 1080p at 75Hz, this is the max setting I can have, there is a test button so if its out of range it will go back to prev settings. You need to take time to "fine tune" your pc and card. I spent 3 hrs setting mine up to get near what I want.

Ok,

To disable the games built in vsync go to
my documents/my games/fallout 4

Edit both the fallout.ini and falloutprefs.ini in notepad and change the setting that says (without quotes) "iPresentInterval=1" to 0. The setting exists in both of these files.

Now, this engine throws a wobbler regarding physics for any fps over 72, so cap it at that or go into the nvidia control panel and force vsync for fallout 4 and set maximum prerendered frames to 1 with a custom refresh rate @72hz
