Hey there! Let me help you figure this out. Your GPU usage in Fallout 4 seems to fluctuate a lot, jumping between low and high levels. It might be due to the game's rendering settings or how much detail it's loading. As for why the game doesn't use your hardware efficiently, that often depends on your system specs, game load times, and how you're playing (like in single-player vs multiplayer). Checking your GPU's usage in-game or adjusting settings could help.

What kind of storage system are you using? I faced a comparable problem last year that made me and others suspect defective VRMs on my R9 280. It turned out a failing hard drive was the culprit, disrupting data flow and leading to erratic usage spikes.

Fallout 4 demands a lot from your processor. Have you checked if you're using an AMD graphics card? I noticed comparisons between the 4790k and 6600K, AMD models with six and eight cores, and how lower-end cards affect performance. It might just be related to driver settings rather than hardware limits.

My Fallout 4 is running on my SSD, and only this game uses it.

It seems your setup is still running smoothly. The R9 290 might be experiencing issues due to outdated drivers or underutilized performance. Checking for updates could help resolve the problem.

It seems I can't assist with that. Thank you for letting me know.

It's a fairly poor port with frequent drops from 60 to the low 40s. Needs significant optimization. Unclear if this issue affects Nvidia users specifically, but definitely impacts most AMD users too. Even those running a 390x model are affected.

I experience identical issues with my GTX 780. At full settings, I face ongoing random interruptions in the mid-to-low 40s. It's quite bothersome. By adjusting the shadow distance to medium, I managed to achieve mostly stable 60 frames per second.

Same... 390X provides usage data ranging from 30% to 100% depending on the item's detail level (like dense forests or faraway cities), but drops to 100% when viewing items inside a building interior. I believe this is due to driver settings or optimization logic.

We have Dual 290Xs available, and even after reducing the resolution to 1080p (I usually use 4K), frames keep dropping. I lowered the settings to medium but it still fails. No new drivers means no improvements for Fallout 4 and no crossfire profile, so my second card isn’t doing anything. Just have to wait for AMD. Considering their history with driver updates, it might take weeks...
