Fallout 3 Locked at 30 FPS

[AquaTeenElderForce]

I've just finished installing Markie's FO3 overhaul guide, found here: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/23468?tab=description

Currently using Mod Organizer 1 Legacy as my mod manager.

 

I booted up the game for some post-overhaul troubleshooting, and it appears that something is capping my framerate at 30 FPS. My first instinct was to check the various .ini files to see if any frame limiters were enabled via Fallout Stutter Remover or the ENBLocal file. Nothing I found explains the cap:

 

In the enblocal.ini:
[LIMITER]
WaitBusyRenderer=false
EnableFPSLimit=false
FPSLimit=60.0

In sr_Fallout_Stutter_Remover.ini:
bInject_iFPSClamp = 1 (setting this to 0 has no effect)
fMaximumFPS = 59
fMinimumFPS = 15
iFPS_Report_Period = 15000
fExtraSleepPercent =0.05

Tried setting bManageFPS = 0 as well - no dice.

 

From the Mod Organizer ini editor, I also tried changing iPresentInterval=0 in both Fallout.ini and FalloutPrefs.ini - no dice. V-sync is also disabled in the Fallout launcher, and switched to OFF in Nvidia Control Panel for both Fallout3.exe and fose_load.exe, just in case. No change either way. The problem persists whether I launch the game via MO (using FOSE) or via the vanilla launcher. Disabling all mods via MO doesn't help either. I've also tried switching between G-Sync and Fixed Refresh modes in Nvidia Control Panel - no change. At this point, I've run out of ideas.

 

Hardware:

GTX 1080 (8 GB)

i7 6700k @ 4.5 ghz

16 GB RAM

ASUS PG279Q, set to 120 hz refresh mode

Windows 10 Professional, 64-bit
