Your PC is experiencing slow performance while playing Fallout 4.
Your PC is experiencing performance issues while playing Fallout 4 on even medium settings. It frequently drops to around 30 frames per second, especially when there are many enemies or heavy movement. Your system specs include a GTX 970, Intel i5 4670K, and 8GB of HyperX RAM. Although it should handle the game well, lag still occurs during intense moments.
Ensure maximum performance with a steady 60. Consider restarting your PC or checking if the CPU is overheating.
Get the specs for Speccy and share your GPU and CPU temperatures.
It's just the way things work. My setup includes an i5 3570k at 4.2 and a 980ti with 1435 MHz. At 1080p I experience drops to high 30s in Diamond City. A driver update might help, but I'm skeptical. Unfortunately, i7s seem to gain around 20 fps over i5s.
You can utilize a GPU that supports gigabytes OC, and you also have their card. For CPU monitoring, Realtemp tracks usage and temperatures.
