Well, going by the specs you posted, your PC is even weaker than mine. Don't expect to run the game on ultra or high with that kind of equipment. Stuttering in certain regions is entirely normal. Maybe not with high end equipment, but with that kind of specs it is to be expected. The card needs some time to buffer the environment.

Fallout 4 is very hard to run modded.

 

I use a 6 core 5ghz CPU and a RTX 2080 ti and my modded Fallout 4 is much harder to run than Assassin's Creed Odyssey set to Ultra.

 

For me the performance tanks at about the same time as Automatron starts.

 

The biggest hit in performance is not from textures but from NPCs and as your save get older the more NPCs there are in the game.

 

Fallout 4 also does not like hard drives unless they are of the 10000rpm variety. My modded game is unplayable with stutter with even a WD 5tb Black and my older saves are not smooth unless the game is on a M.2 SSD.

 

All you can really do is not build elaborate settlements with lots of NPCs.

 

I started playing when the game came out and I still play my first character saves. As they got to higher levels they became full of stutter. I put them aside and started new character saves. When I upgraded my computer with a new graphics card, CPU or faster SSD I would play the old saves until they became unplayable again. I am starting on my 4th generation of character saves now and hopefully I will be able to revisit my older saves in the future.

It stays pllayable even with old saves, fully populated settlements and lots of mods. Just don't expect it to run on ultra, with all the settings maxed out. The engine is old, although it has been overhauled and not the least bit comparable to games like BF1, with a different engine designed for an FPS and not a gaming experience with lots of interactions, locations and quests. What slows down the game the most are it's scripts. The more there are active at any given moment, the less processing power is available for other tasks, such as loading environments or NPCs. I'm using sim settlements at certain locations and it takes about ten to 20 seconds to load all the objects and people into the buffer. In this period of time, the game lags heavily, probably because almost everything is script based there. MSI afterburner shows my GPUs performance dropping to 324 MHZ during this loading phase to go up to it's full abilities afterwards.

Computers are magical entities, nobody can really explain why they work this or that way. :laugh:

 

Hardware is important, as is software. I never got it for example why people dare to buy super computers and then use Windows Home on it.

 

Seemingly even very mighty new rigs, as example here in the thread (5 Ghz CPU, RTX 2080), sometimes cannot solve the problems. Is it really a badly balanced FO4? I don't know. On my new PC, i9 9900/RTX 2070/32 GB RAM/SSD I tried my best to kill performance by installing many HD textures, settings all to extreme and using an ENB of the more demanding kind (PRC) but never get under 55 to 60 fps. Usually it's 60 fps, Boston or not.

You do understand, that the larger the drive, the slower data retrieval is going to be? A 5tb drive is going to be dog slow compared to the same drive that is only 1tb, or 500gb. Unless you are using a raid array......

i can confirm that modded fo4 eats your hw. i checked my system i7-8700 and 1080 ti running fo4:

fo4.exe uses up to 25gig of memory!

10.4 GB dedicated vram in use!

and i play with 3000x1800p resolution

 

so if you your specs are below these numbers and you play modded with with ultra settings you can expect to reach a physical limit leading to stutter or fps drops.
