The game is super stuttery and animations are choppy.

Your hardware is too good for this game. It gets bored waiting to do something and falls asleep between frames.

If you're not opposed to mods try https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/44798

Take the time to set it up right, (read the instructions make sure you have Fallout 4 Script Extender installed https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/42147 and run the game from it. ) and you can have a much better experience. 5 sec or less loads on SSD and I run up to 165 fps on my 3080ti (max monitor refresh rate)

The first thing you should always do is start with lower resolutions and see if that does anything. Your system can obviously "handle" it, so something else is going on, also obviously. Make sure you close all erroneous programs first, streaming/extra software/etc. And when I say all, I mean all. There should be basically nothing hiding in your taskbar. Check what's hiding in your taskbar and close it all. See if that does anything.

I have a RTX 4070 and no problems at all.

Tried playing in windowed fullscreen?

RTX 4080 at 3440x1440 here

165 FPS out of the box. At vanilla. with mods (~500) : 165 fps.

something is misconfigured at your system.

RTX 4080 at 4k and I limit the FPS to 120 and, so far, it pretty much hits that. Lots of mods, including texture type.

Just make sure you are running fullscreen, windowed borderless would be terrible for performance for me. That has only occurred since the NG patches.

Rtx 4090, was using the fallout 4 unofficial patch but i got some nasty stuttering (felt like low frames)

downloading the fps physics fixer and capping my fps to 170 (monitor refresh rate) worked like a charm

The game plays very smooth and stable for me at 60fps capped. On a RTX 3060ti and I7 11700kf. With Ultra settings, using HBAO+ Nvidia and God Rays on med. Weapon debris off.
At 1440p on a standard 27" 1440p monitor.

Even tho I am not familiar with AMD's CPU's your system seems to be much more powerful than mine is.

I think you may have some other background crap running which is using resources. Just a guess. But I keep such stuff to a bare minimum. No anti-virus, social programs running. I also don't use any cloud service. And a lot of Steam's crap disabled.

If not using any mods, then something is configured wrong or corrupted. Would verify file integrity first if using steam

If have next gen update and using any mods that edit or add npc's to exterior commonwealth, then stuttering will occur at every point those npc's spawn. The next gen update changed how the engine handles new npc/edits...it literally reloads the entire area and causes severe stuttering depending on how many npc's added/edited. The only solution is delete all mods that edit/add npcs or roll game back to preupdate.

Run he game in fullscreen borderless mode to cap FPS at 60, no need for a MOD to cap FPS. If you have long load times use Load Accelerator it's as easy as dragging the two files into the games root directory and doesn't need any other MOD to run.

Playing with RTX 4060Ti and High Physics FPS Fix Mod, everything nice and smooth.
