Well I must say the Stutter Remover worked wonderfully, but the VATS lag is still there. I should probably record a video to describe it but it is essentially every single thing that happens during VATS gets framed to under 5. So from when I click V, to it zooming in, to it loading the body parts, the mouse itself is framey and zips around, and physically commanding the body part to be clicked and recorded onto the next shot log, to the animation, to the EVERYTHING. Once VATS mode leaves my game is fine. Just from what I've read it's mostly because of new hardware incompatibilities and bugs. Hopefully in New Vegas all of this will be fixed since it is more up to date.
