Only if you offer more information such as your hardware and resolution.

You might want to change the value for "ipresentinterval" in fallout4prefs.ini.

Depending on your monitor's refresh rate, you're going to want to set "ipresentinterval=1" or "ipresentinterval=2". If you set it to 0, it will uncap your fps, but without certain mods, this last option might cause problems with the game.

IPresentInterval is a divider, It divides your monitor refresh rate and makes it your game's fps limit.

Your monitor = 60hz
IPresentInterval = 1
Your fps cap = 60/1 = 60

Setting it 2 on 60hz monitor will lock your fps to 30.. which is the actual problem here ;) maybe you should set it to 0.5 lol

1) Set your monitor to 120hz or 144hz, vertical refresh frequency.
2) Disable V-sync in GPU driver and In Game.
3) Enable Enhanced Sync (AMD), Fast Sync (NVIDIA) in GPU Driver.
4) Turn ON Freesync / G-Sync on your monitor if capable.
5) Cap FPS in GPU driver to the frequency you set in (1).
Enjoy. You'll blast past the bad busy & slow areas of the game at a reasonable FPS.

My monitor loves 144mhz but 60 runs perfect on FO4
