I wish I knew how to fix it perhaps try some older drivers when you were still getting good FPS. Fallout: NV and Oblivion are really bad for me. I get about 30% in oblivion and maybe 30 FPS with a HD 6850. I should be able to kill it on ultra...

I have a sort of problem like that around NPCs I get really low GPU usage even without a frame rate cap or Vsync and about 30 fps no settings I change do anything to improve it. Do you have anything to monitor CPU and GPU usage? Be interesting to see if you're getting the same low usage issue as me or your computer is fighting something.

I still get low usage even in Oblivion and fallout 3 aswell. Something doesn't sound right.

Also tried disabling Vsync and running on Ultra settings I get the same frame rate just a little more GPU usage. Could it be a game engine clash with a newer graphics card than the game???

Yes it notices it as a 6850. I did remove the DLL files after I noticed no improvement.

Hey Guys I have the steam version of F:NV and I'm having some weird performance issue. I've got the latest update 1.4 but I still have low GPU usage and frame rates. I tried the D3D9.DLL any way and have the 4GB and fake full screen mods. No improvements. Computer specs AMD 1100T @ 3.7 Ghz HD 6850 8 GB of ram @ 1600 MHz In highly populated NPC areas I'm getting around 30 fps with the graphics set to medium at about 40% gpu usage ( it defaulted to low when I first launched?!?!) Out doors near a big camp I can't remember the name of I did get as high as 70%. Also tried the toggleemotions command with no fps increase. I downloaded a mod that had a night vision goggles mode that increased my GPU usage in the same area up 10 % more but I still got EXACTLY the same frame rate. For some reason it seems it could do more but doesn't. There is no bottlenecking anywhere my CPU usage is normally low usage and I can get 99% GPU usage in other games. I did O.C. my CPU to 4 Ghz with no difference. Also over or underclocking my GPU does nothing to the frame rate. Literally cutting my clock speeds in half with no changes. Aside from the wonky frame rates the game runs great never had a CTD. Any one have any ideas please?
