Fallout 4 FPS Issues


NGFederation

Recommended Posts

I am having some frame rate problems with Fallout 4. At seemingly random times, the game would drop from 59-60fps to 1-20fps. The problem only happens outside and I do not have to be in the cities for it to happen. I have tried lowering the shadow distance, removing mods and starting fresh, removing godrays, tweaking the ini files, and more. What baffles me is that this is a recent problem; I have removed the recently installed mods and the problem persists. I have noticed that when the drop occurs, my temps are all around 41C and the CPU and GPU usages are never above 51%. The only thing that I have not tried is completely uninstalling the DLCs (I bought them all at the same time). Could someone please help me out, I can't think of anything else to do. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

 

My build is as follows:

 

i7 4790K 4Ghz

GTX 980ti Hybrid

Gigabyte GA-Z97-HD3

32Gb Adata XPG RAM

150GB SanDisk SSD

2Tb Toshiba HDD

EVGA Supernova 850 G2

 

The mods that I have installed currently are as follows:

 

Armorsmith Extended v3.02

CROSS Coutuier's Relatively Over Stock Sile CBBE - CROSS_Gear 108b0

Deathclaw Hunter Armor CBBE v1.1

Synth Armors and Uniforms - Standalone Mega Pack

I get these as well. I don't believe it is anything we are doing as end users, I firmly believe it is poor performance of the engine the game uses. It places shadow handling onto your CPU, which was a dumb idea, but prevents people from all having to go out and buy a GTX 1080 or R9 390+ gfz card to handle them.

 

The game has memory leaks everywhere. I can be in downtown Boston and look one direction and have 38 fps, but turn 180 degrees and its a sitting at 17 fps.

 

Jamaica Plains for me has ALWAYS been a fps deadzone. It's always a 11-17 fps zone for me.

 

Do you run any ENB? If so do you use ENBoost? Some ENB can see upwards of 10Gb hits for memory, and with ENBoost you can tell the system to use your system memory as well as your graphics card memory, like my card sits with 8Gb, and I have 16 additional GB of system memory for it to bite into.

 

I wish there was an option to choose to have the graphics card handle shadows, because I'm certain I'd get much better performance with my card versus my OC'd AMD FX-8350 processor, since this game apparently doesn't do multithreading despite this being the year 2017 now. I don't even know if it's was designed to use DX-12, honestly.

Disable all mods and test. If the stutters are gone. Re-enable mod by mod to find out which mod causes it. When you found a mod, Disable all mod, but enable the mod that causes this issue and test it again.

 

Its the only way to find out

Read around and join the queue, meanwhile probably a couple of millions strong.

 

I was afraid someone was going to say that. What number am I? 2,789,875?

I didn't even know that there are graphical components in the game that are not handled by the GPU. *sigh*

I do not think that I am running any type of ENB. I might try that just to see if I see any type of difference. Like most people, I'm grasping at straws here.

I've tried that, I've stopped just short of buying a new copy and installing it on another drive to see what would happen. I might do that anyway.
