FPS Issues

[Crygreg]

The Problem: So... I've tried everything: ENBoost, Shadowboost, Reshade, Performance Mods, decreasing the graphic quality... everything. But nothing worked. The problem is, that the game just don't want to run smooth. For Example: in Sanctuary it runs with 43-60 FPS, in Cities (for example Cambridge Police Station) only with 37-55 FPS, depending of turning around. I just want a smooth game with 50-60 FPS. But everything I tried seems not working or make it better. ENBoost, ShadowBoost, Reshade, Performance Mods... Nothing really changes something. I've installed these mods (+some Texture mods, that aren't showed in this load order: All vivid textures with "Best choice", Vivid Weathers, True Storms+Compability Patch with Darker Nights, 4k Star Overhaul, Pip Boy 4k etc.)

Also I made the Load Order with LOOT.

rename ur data/textures folder to 'textures1', it will disable all ur mods textures

run game and if there will be no fps drops - then the reason is in textures mod

if fps drops are even with disabled textures - then some mod bad crafted / using a lot of ram / have conflict

[Crygreg]

So, I've tried this some time ago (disabled all texture mods and then all mods). When I disabled ALL mods I have, the FPS was 59-60 FPS again. So... I'll try some other things then and report here, when I found something. If anyone knows which mod causes the problem, let me know here. ^^

[shaggy08251993]

Probably the 4k textures are killing it, especially in the city. Have you tried the "Texture Optimization" mod? It is a guide for a process that you have to do yourself to reduce the size of the textures with minimal quality loss. Author didn't upload the package themselves because it violates rules. I have done the process and my game runs smoother and even loads faster; from 30-35 seconds on initial startup to 20-25 seconds.

[Crygreg]

Nope. I've tried and uninstalled ALL Texture Mods (Pip Boy, Star Overhaul, Vivid Fallout mods etc.) but still a problem. If asked, I'll post a list of the mods, that aren't listed in the load order as esp/esm (for example vivid textures).

 

Maybe it's one of my settlement mods because when I enter the workshop the game has a short freeze before it enters the menu. And the menu often loads a time before everything runs smooth. Maybe this is a clue...?

[dendonflo]

Textures don't usually reduce FPS, they'll eat up more VRAM so you may have a micro stutter when loading a cell because you VRAM is full and the game takes longer to load but that's it.

It would be useful if you could tell us which GPU / CPU / RAM you're running, lowering the graphics won't help a lot if it's your CPU struggling.

Fallout seems to have troubles with 60 FPS, it'll struggle to reach it on my GTX 760 when I drop the quality A LOT, but it'll still be able to reach an easy 30 FPS when I max out almost everything, I ended up locking it to 30 FPS.

 

You might want to try using MSI Afterburner to check on your GPU / CPU usage, if one of them is running 100%, then that's what's bottlenecking you.

The Cambridge police station is also on of the WORST place in the game in terms of performance. I don't know why but when near it, my framerate will drop to the mid 20's, even with all graphics settings lowered and with a GPU and CPU usage below 40%, it makes no sense.

 

I know you've said you tried lowering the graphics, but did you reduce the godrays quality and shadow distance to the minimum ? These two options are absolute monsters in terms of performance and they'll destroy your framerate, especially shadow distance when near the Cambridge poilice station.

 

You won't be able to have a 50-60 FPS in sanctuary AND at the police station, this place is so bad that if your average framerate at sanctuary is not a locked 60 FPS with a GPU usage under 75%, you will experience drop in framerate.

 

So as I said you may want to try lowering the godrays to low (They'll be pixelated but if it works there are fixes for that), or even try to disable them alltogether by opening the console (~) and typing in "gr off".

 

There's not much more I can help you with without knowing your specs.

[Crygreg]

I've got 16 RAM. That's what I know :D

 

God Rays is already off and shadow distance is medium.

You can know which GPU you have by right clicking on your desktop / display settings / advanced display settings / show properties of the adapter (My windows in french so the names may not be exactly the same), it'll be listed on top of the window.

 

As for the CPU, go to your control panel / system and security / system and it'll be the first element listed under the System category.

Hey! Have you tried this one? If you didn't, you really should. I have a PC with some REALLY decent specs ( Intel Core 2 Duo 3.00 GHz, 4 Gb RAM, Radeon HD 6570) and this mod have made this game playable even for me! I play with everything turned on: godrays, TAA, HBAO, shadows. Try it, it won't bite)

@Journeyman: It shows me 12255 MB for GPU.

For CPU it shows me "CPU @ 3.20 GHz 3.20 GHz"

 

@Newbie Nope, I have Grafix instead of that (and even uninstalling Grafix doesn't change anything). But I'll try, thanks. :)
