How to LOCK framerate to 60fps instead of 144fps

[Quavious]

I want the games implemented V-Sync to cap the game at 60fps like it is supposed to, however it strangely caps at 144hz. Is there any way to do this? Doing this so I can maintain a consistent framerate and eliminate stutter.

have you tried using borderless window to stop the stuttering, this worked for me.

Furthermore, I have a monitor (Benq XL2420T) that has 120Hz. This means my game caps at 120 FPS. If you have a monitor that has 60Hz, the game will cap at 60 FPS.

I have tried everything in the in-game settings and some Nvidia Control Panel tweaks, but nothing in their stopped my stuttering in full screen.

To cap at 60FPS, put your monitor refresh rate to 60Hz.
To stop stuttering, put the game in a borderless window and then turn resolution back up in Fallout 4 settings to your naitive res. For some reason, when selecting windowed, the game sets a very low res as default :-/

Hope this helps :-)

Tried borderless window and I still get the same stuttering I do if it wasn't in borderless window mode. Additionally, when I put it in windowed mode, the only resolutions are 800x450 (which is incredibly too friggin tiny) and 1280x720 (which puts my cursor horribly off center - I could be hovering over an option in the main menu, but the highlighted option is the one right below that, for instance).

I use Nvidia inspectors frame limiter.

My monitor is 60Hz but my framerate isn't capped at 30 FPS -_o

Try this it helped me getting at 60 fps cap

Go to your Desktop, right click the Nvidia Logo at the lower Right of your Desktop. Choose "System Settings" or whatever it is in your Language. Now go to "3D Settings" and Add Fallout.exe to your Programs.

There change "Triple Buffer" to ON.
"Max frames render ahead" to 1.
And finally "V-Sync" on.

Strange, wat rig and monitor do you have?

Thanks for they replies guys I will give the borderless windowed thing a go. I'm not sure if stuttering is the word, but on all of my games I get a jitter in the image when panning and moving which is usually resolved by applying V-Sync or capping the framerate in some way. So that is why I hope I can cap it to 60. FYI I have a 144hz monitor.

Hi guys I'm having a problem with my game. I haven't changed the .ini files or anything and using a 144Hz monitor. In main menu my fps skyrockets to like 1600 and in game is jumps all around from 200 to 1000 is making locking picking and fighting impossible due to the games fps/game speed attachment? Any ideas why this is happening??

This seems to have worked perfectly, thank you. At first I was just trying to enable the V-Sync and the Triple buffering, but enabling the pre-rendered frames seems to have done the trick :D

That is not true, I've got myself a 60hz monitor and all my games lock at 60fps with v-sync, I can see a difference between 30fps and 60fps, a big difference, I obviously prefer 60fps, and that is all on a 60hz monitor

I assume you have a gsync monitor?
if so disable gsync and force vsync in the drivers
in the game .inis uncap framerate, disable vsync, disable mouse smoothing too (do a search for fo4 ini tweaks to find out how)
using nvidia inspector (or any other application you have that caps fps) set a fps cap to 58 fps.
this will give you a butter smooth 60 fps while still keeping 144hz pixel refresh.
