Ender108 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) I'm having a situation with stuttering in Fallout New Vegas. After I install the big texture mods like NMC's and OJO bueno, every time I fast travel, exit from indoor to outdoor (after the cell had enough time to unload), or enter a new grid where the LODs have to load, I get huge macro stutter. I'll do a 360 turn in game after said event and it can pause for up to a second or two. I've tried absolutely everything... -New Vegas Stutter Remover is installed and I've tweaked settings (turned some things on and off and nothing changed)-Different INI configs and I've used BethINI tweaks (Usually has to do with the threaded stuff and unloading cells)-Rolled back drivers/updated them (as far back as NVIDIA 368.xx drivers and still nothing)-Uninstalled and re-installed the game (I even reset my entire computer and that didn't help)-Using YUP unofficial patch, NVAC, cleaned masters, etc. (Again, didn't help)-No viruses or malware on my PC-I'm using Mod Organizer-NVSE and memory patch for it is installed-EDIT: I am using the most up to date 4GB Patcher-EDIT: I am using ENBoost Now one thing that sort of alleviated the issue was removing the overclock on my CPU from 4.2Ghz to 3.5Ghz (stock). I'm not exactly sure why. Someone told me that Bethesda games don't react well to OC's, but I've seen plenty of people who don't have this issue. Even at stock I still get enough stuttering to make the game nearly unplayable. I don't want to get rid of my OC as it boosts performance in every other game. My specs are... i5-6600k at 4.2GHz 1.3V16GB DDR4 at 3000MhzGTX 1070 8GBSamsung 850 EVO 500GB Of course when I remove all my texture mods the stuttering stops. But it makes no sense as my PC is more than enough to handle a fully modded New Vegas. I'm absolutely clueless as to what the issue is. It might be some sort of incompatibility with my graphics drivers or CPU. On my old PC (FX-8350, 8GG DDR3, GTX 970 3.5GB) this wasn't an issue at all. If anyone could help at all that'd be awesome. I'm trying to get my modlist set up and I refuse to play the game with the vanilla textures (yeah I'm that kind of guy).

M48A5 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 From the mod description page for NMCs Texture Pack "You need to use the 4GB Fallout New Vegas (by MonochromeWench - Hendricks266 - Roy Batty)" The vanilla game will only use 2GB of RAM, regardless of the amount of RAM you have available unless you use the 4GB patch.

Mktavish Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) I noticed you didn't mention the 4gb memory enable ? LOL ya ninja'd me :ninja: Edited September 22, 2017 by Mktavish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ender108 Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 Oh yeah I forgot to mention that. I am using the 4GB Patcher by RoyBatterian https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/62552/? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mktavish Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) Do you have dual screen or windowed mode available ? Run a check with task manager on cpu and memory usage during the game running. Edited September 22, 2017 by Mktavish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ender108 Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) I'm playing on windowed mode on only one monitor Edited September 22, 2017 by Ender108 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mktavish Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Well if you can do it ( start TaskMg first ) give it a looksee ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ender108 Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 New Vegas only uses 1Gb of Memory and 25% of my CPU after playing for 30 min at most with just the texture mods installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mktavish Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) Well the test wasn't really to see what NV was doing , but what other things were eating up cpu cycles and memory. And you're saying nothing ? If that's the case , I would say your GPU and Vram is struggling. Either actual hitting their limits , or a choke point causing it to appear as such. Saying dialing back the info per frame alleviated it , seems to suggest your equip is struggling. Edited September 22, 2017 by Mktavish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubiousintent Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 That hardware should be able to handle the game. Most likely the issue is something is not configured correctly. However, Win10 DX9 drivers currently have a VRAM limitation of 4GB imposed, so you may need to use lower resolution textures until that is fixed in the October "Fall Creator's" update. Please see the 'Solutions to Performance problems' section in the wiki "Fallout NV Mod Conflict Troubleshooting" guide. Seriously consider ENBBoost if your issue seems to be texture related. Be sure you check the nVidia driver configuration as well as the game settings. Either one can negate the other. See the ":ENB" section of the "Troubleshooting" guide for an idea of the settings to be concerned about. -Dubious- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
