Locked at 48fps STILL

[Jamie]

im on a 144hz 6700XT and no matter what i set it at...1080p LOW. 1440p ULTRA...turning off VSync in the ini file, downloading 5 mods,,NOTHING changes it...its stuck at 48fps. and i searched on google for a hour and no one knows how to fix it.

48 is 144/3 which is the smallest whole number divisor to give a result less than or equal to 60

60 is the fastest recommended fps for this game

Set your monitor refresh rate to 60hz and then set the Vsync in your gpu control panel to fast sync or on. The game was not meant to run any faster frame rate than 60fps. Going above that can cause a lot of game issues, such as lock picking being too fast and dialog being out of sync.

I am currently on a 60mhz locked monitor, but on Monday, changing to a 27 inch 144 mhz; couple this with the latest AMD PCU and latest Gigabyte MB I have been told 144 mhz is more than possible.

I am fairly certain you don't have a 60,000,000 HZ monitor

I'd run your plans past someone knowledgeable first because the latest amd cpus aren't a good buy at the moment. Intel are faster and cheaper. The mobos probably cost more though. Plus there are no 144mhz monitors, they don't exist.

Fast Sync will not add a frame rate cap and the game will break.

Not just recommended it will straight out break the game if you get higher FPS

The game normally sets ipresentinterval=2 in the ini file locking the max fps to 72fps when using a 144hz monitor

But his seems to be set to 3

as I said normally it sets 1 for 60hz monitors or 2 for 120hz and above however we all know bugs can happen without actually opening the ini file and looking at the setting it could be another issue like gpu software settings or it may have actually somehow set it to 3 due to whatever math it uses when it detects the hardware.

Nvidia even mentioned its game ready drivers would autotune 20 of fallout 4's settings to try and achieve 60fps some other gpu makers may have done the same with their drivers and not announced it.

I know the recent AMD driver updates have locked AMDfreesync to AMD optimized in the fallout 4 profile and will not let me change it to off resulting in an unreliable fps overlay display.

Edit

after deleting the fallout 4 ini files except for the custom one and letting the game rebuild it the displayed fps error in the overlay seems to have gone. Still its odd that a gpu driver update caused something that required the game to rebuild the ini files to get the correct reading and could change the amdfreesync setting. Not sure how the ini files for the game locked the setting in the driver software.

Setting the moitor from 144 to 60hz is a BIG FAT FAIL and does not work so stop telling people to do that it doenst work. Literally everything you people told me to do i did and nothing works. this game is stragith TRASH on a PC....its funy casue Fallout 3 and New Vegas runs butter smooth 144 fps LOCKED.

R9 5950X + 6900XT = 48fps with the GPU only using 76% of the power LMFAO WOW what. a. JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jamie]

So pretty much if you have anything new you are stuck playing this POS game at 48fps

[Iron Knights]

Disable V-Sync is NOT ENOUGH, you must enable ENHANCED SYNC (AMD) in drivers.

Did you have the game redetect the hardware after? once the game sets ipresentinterval in the ini file it does not change it without redetecting the hardware or manually editing the setting no matter what the monitor is changed to be.

once again

It clearly states the following right from Bethesda.

Setting your Refresh Rate

These types of issues can also occur if the game/launcher incorrectly detects monitors that are set to refresh rates above 120Hz as being set to 120Hz.

In general, you are advised to keep the game's default settings and continue to play the game with a 60fps cap. The fps cap that the game uses is determined by the your monitor refresh rate (typically 60Hz or 120Hz), and dividing it by the "iPresentInterval" value.  

Please note that if your monitor is set to 60Hz, the iPresentInterval value in your .INI file should be "1", and if your monitor is set to 120Hz, the iPresentInterval value should be "2". Setting it to "0" uncaps the framerate and can cause the issues mentioned above. If your monitor is set to a value larger than 120Hz (such as 144Hz), we advise you to set your desktop refresh rate to 120Hz instead, when playing the game.

Here are the steps for changing your refresh rate.

    Right click on your Desktop.
    Click on Display Settings.
    Scroll Down and click on Advanced display settings.
    Under the Refresh Rate section select 60 Hz from the drop down list.
    Click Apply. You will be prompted to "Keep Changes" or "Revert." Select "Keep Changes."
