very low CPU and GPU usage = low FPS ...WTH?

[jasonpressler]

toggleemotions did nothing for the frame rate and it actually caused ctd.

The toggleemotions switch is not the fix. There is a really good discussion of this issue, and what appears to be the actual fix over at the Bethesda forums. Not sure if I can post the link to the discussion pertaining to this issue. Mods...if it needs to be removed, please do so. Thanks!

I have not tried this fix personally, and as a disclaimer, you should do so only at your own risk, but it at least does appear promising.

just got this thread from a friend:

there is a link to a d3d9.dll which you have to put in your Fallout ROOT dir.

 

I get 50% CPU usage and 60% GPU usage now = 50 - 60 FPS @ ULTRA (+ Vsync ON) !!!

 

so it effectively switched my machine from single to dualcore... now how do i get it to quadcore?

 

...i notice lots of white and black artifact boxes now but there is another thread for that issue

Wow thanks a bunch for that link Saiklon, games running a constant 60 fps for me. Funny how the devs could miss such a thing and cool the FO community found it.
