timota21 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) Average Frame rates: Low: 35Medium: 25High: 19Ulrta: 10 Note: To test this I ran from Goodsprings to NCR Outpost and back. So these average represent a relatively calm area of New Vegas. I'm at wits end. I've tried everything I can think of. I did hours of seraching and researching but to no avail. But, alas, I don't have much experiance in the way of optimizing games, so I'm turning to this community for help. I've tried:Fallout 4GB launcherD3D9Gen and ATI d3d9 fixesFallout Stutter RemoverFallout Configator Performance Options (threading, delete uneeded cells on fast travel, etc)Enabling Tripple BufferingDisabling Vsync Nothing provided any significant boost on its own. Collectively, these modifications added about 3-6 frames across the board. Which helps, but the game is still annoyingly stuttery and hitchy on medium quality in densely populated areas, and this is compounded by essential mods like IWS and Project Nevada. Not to mention, the game isn't a sight for sore eyes on low and medium. My system specs:HP Pavilion d7 Notebook PC (64 bit Operating system)Intel® Core i7-2630QM CPU @ 2.00 GHz8gb RAMRadeon HD 6770 graphics card I feel like my new 2011 laptop should be able to kick Fallout NV's ass on the lowest settings... but, its only barely smooth.Maybe I just think my computer is better than it really is. I'm not sure. But that's why I'm posting this thread. I would really, really appreciate any help. Edited July 20, 2011 by timota21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GothikaGeist Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) You can also try Game Booster, it's free search it up. And if you've already tried the NV Configurator, 4GB Loader, and d3d9 fixes. I don't know what might be wrong. Though the Fallout New Vegas Stutter Remover is outdated so don't use it. Oh and make sure you have less than 100 active plugins (ESPs/ESMs). Edited July 20, 2011 by GothikaGeist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot to mention that. And the averages are posted are with only the Fallout.Esm checked. Adding mods makes it much worse. I feel like I should be able to run this game flawlessly on Medium and with minimal stutter on High. According to notebookcheck.net, the average framerate for laptops with my graphics card for Crysis 2 on High is 41 and 19 on Ultra high. Seeing this is just adding to my confusion.

GothikaGeist Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 You can also try running a whole bunch of computer maintenance, like registry cleaners/defraggers, disk clean-up/defragging, or even defrag the Fallout NV directory with GameBooster.

I'll try that. But I doubt it'll find anything. I bought my pavilion about 6 days ago. Maybe Fallout NV is just too unoptimized to run smoothly on my setup. Oh well, that is the risk with laptops.

GothikaGeist Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 That could also be the case. Hey you know what? Try turning down all your power options so that it runs at "Best Performance". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where would I find these options? Edit: I found them. About to do a test run. See if there is any improvment. Side note: I just downloaded the Mafia 2 demo. I could run it on high at about 35 fps, which is very playable. I can only achieve that performance on Fallout NV on lower than low settings. :,( You make me cry Bethesda and Obsidian.

Lordfire Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 (if they don't come pre-installed, make sure) did you try installing the latest drivers? it makes a GREAT difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luthienanarion Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 The biggest thing you can do to improve framerate is lower the video resolution, followed by lowering view distances. PN will make the engine cry all by itself, so you can try disabling some of the scripted features like the dynamic crosshair. IWS is broken now, and the mod author doesn't have time to work on it. I love it to death, but It will cause crashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowderdToastMan Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 are u running an hdmi out to a tv from your laptop or are u using the laptop monitor? the reason i ask is if you output to a tv and dont have the EXACT resolution setting correct, it will cause massive fps drops. EXA> if your actual tv resolution is 1366 x 768 but its advertised as 720p and you put 720p in your settings it will cause big fps drops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
