Fallout 4 is running slow—give me some tips to help it speed up.
I got fallout 4 and the game is amazing. unfortunately the only problem i have had is that when i run the game on a fullscreen, my FB usage % on afterburner says that it's at 99%. However, the rest is very stable: cpu and gpu temps, load and everything else are perfect. but the only thing that goes through the roof is the FB usage. I read somewhere that FB usage has to do with memory. But not sure if it's RAM memory that's causing the issue or GPU ram or what... I solved this problem by running the game on a smaller resolution. When i do this i am able to play ultra graphics, anti aliasing, etc. very well. But the only problem now is that it's a small window...Anyone able to give some advice as to how i can best run this game so i can have a fair balance of great, amazing quality with a good size screen. Thank you very much. Btw my specs consist of a i5 4690k at 3.5 ghz, gtx 960 at 4 gigs, dual monitor, 8 gigs of ddr3 corsair vengeance ram, asus z-97a motherboard etc.
I also play the game at 60 frames per second with some occasional drops, usually around 45 to 58 fps based on my settings. Also, if you're just starting out, try not to offer tips here—mostly people with similar issues are looking for advice.
I noticed the area just outside Diamond City falls short compared to what you expect. Keep that in mind.
I'm not sure what it is, but I strongly believe it's VRAM. I feel confident it's beneficial to have it at full capacity.
Fallout 4 can deliver strong performance with a 960 setting, here are the recommended adjustments. These work well on my 3570k and 960 4GB, though your 960 might run at different speeds. Using these settings gives a consistent 55-60 FPS, but some crowded city areas may still cause frame drops regardless of the configuration.
It's completely fine without them at all. The contrast is almost insignificant.
The detail configuration sets other options that alter the game's appearance, functioning more like a preset choice than an independent setting. Boosting your CPU overclocking can also be beneficial, as the game supports up to 8 threads; increasing clock speed further is advantageous if you have fewer than that number.
