LOW FPS After update

[destinoo]

my rtx 4060 and ryzen 5 5600 are not running more than 37 fps. both CPU and GPU use is under 30%, anyone know how to fix this?

iPresentInterval=0 in config files and force vsync through driver.
fixed it for me.

Hade the same issue.
Set windows scaling to 100%
Delete the " Fallout4Prefs.ini " file
restart the game and then it should run the gfx-setup again.
My fps went up to 100+
Dont know if you need to set scaling, but had to to get it to run UW resolutions properly (was not able to select it before).

People have recommended removing, not deleting but removing the ini file in your games document folder. Once you load the game again with it missing, it should autogenerate a new one based off your hardware.

Example:

C:\Users\YOURUSERNAMEHERE\Documents\My Games\Fallout4

Fallout4Prefs.ini

If it doesnt, put it back.

The main solution: Shadow distance. In Launcher options, advanced. Change this to Medium or Low. Apparently, the jump from High to Medium is a change in value from 14,000 to 3,000. That's a big change. This 100% fixed my FPS issues.

it could be vsync. try turning vsync off in the launcher, if that doesnt fix it I'd install enb and use it's vsync instead

[destinoo]

the problem for me was the borderless window.

ALL of this. I made a post saying this myself the other day. Borderless Window seems to be the main issue.

I was only getting 55fps on my 7900 xt. I fixed it on Adrenalin by using "Radeon enhanced sync"

had 60-80 fps with borderless window, now after i turned it off it went to 300+ and now capped at 144, so its really the issue. Thank you!

Used to work for me back in the day but not this time. I get 20-55 fps, remove cap in preferences and set to 120 in nvidia control panel (this worked when i played the game in 2022..)

Yes, iPresentInterval no longer works after the update.

What currently works is this:

1.) Open the Nvidia Control Panel
2.) Select the 3D settings
3.) Open the tab for the individual applications
4.) Find Fallout4.exe in the drop-down menu
5.) Enable low latency mode for the game
5.) Set a frame rate limit for the game with a max of 60fps
6.) Force vsync to "fast" for the game

The game is currently behaving oddly when it comes to frame rates and high refresh rate displays. iPresentInterval in the .ini files is broken at the moment. So one has to force it through the driver.

This will give you 60fps, thereby keeping the game's physics in check, all while you get tear-free rendering with a high refresh rate display.

This works only in fullscreen-mode. In windowed-mode it still acts weirdly.

An alternative is to use mods where you can keep the driver's default settings for the game.

If you are not sure about mods, but want to try them, then first find a good modding guide and read it or watch it.

60 fps is not what im aiming for, i was able to play the game fine with 120 fps in 2022. I can start it now but im locked to 84 fps. Even 120 isnt optimal for me with a 165hz monitor, but i remember that going over 120 fps causes de-synch issues with audio etc.

for some reason i only get frame drops from 60 ro mid 40-50 when i aim in third person mode in certain area. really bugging me atm
