Again, I don't understand a lot of this so bare with me lol, but are you saying my problem is the Processor? Isn't my processor better than the one mentioned, as shown here? https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Pentium-4-240GHz-vs-Intel-Core-i5-8250U/m5589vsm338266

Can you elaborate on that at all? Because apparently the recommended requirements are an Intel Core 2 Duo U7600 and 2GB of RAM? And according to sites like systemrequirementslab & pcgamebenchmark my PC is above both the minimum and the recommended? Also when I auto-detect the hardware on the Fallout launcher it recommends very high?

That does look pretty cool haha, don't know how I missed that. I'm guess that means you can't use certain Fallout 3 mods though, like the Wander's Edition, MMM, etc?

Hey guys, First time poster here and newbie to modding Fallout; I've been playing Fallout 3 but I can't seem to get it to run smoothly. I know there's posts here already about similar things but I've spent, and I'm not even kidding, two days now searching around and have been unable to find a fix. I've tried better performance mods, stutter remover, fiddling with ini files and all sorts to no avail. I don't know a lot about computers in general so it might even be my laptop, but surely not? It's not super old and runs a lot of newer games with no issues. I don't know a lot about specs and stuff but here's the info from my system information tab: CPU Intel® Core i5-8265U CPU @ 1.60GHz Base speed: 1.80 GHzSockets: 1Cores: 4Logical processors: 8Virtualisation: EnabledL1 cache: 256 KBL2 cache: 1.0 MBL3 cache: 6.0 MBIntel UHD Graphics 620 8GB of RAM. Solid state hard drive (I think that's relevant? Lol). Windows 10. I don't know if there's anything else you'd need to know but if there is just let me know. Sorry, I'm a noob at all this lol. I also considered if the mods I've installed could be the issue, however the game still runs poorly with them all disabled, and even on low low quality I don't get a smooth FPS, or anything above 50ish. Mods I've tried to fix the issue include: "Unofficial Fallout Patch.esm", "BetterGamePerformance.esp" and "Stutter Fixer" (or something along those lines). Thanks in advance for any help; I'm desperate at this point lol. Edit: I also downloaded the "WinXP-7-8-10 Multicore Threading 4GB LAA with 4GB FOSE Setup", but still the problem is the same. On the lowest possible graphics settings it runs at 60FPS until combat, then it'll drop to around 45.
