I preordered the game and also preloaded it, and when I finally got to play it I had the worst FPS imaginable. I don't have the greatest rig in the world but I was able to play witcher 3 with mostly higher settings and I didn't have much of an issue at all.

However, Fallout 4 has been a nightmare for me and the poor fps is actually making me sick as I play. Sometimes in some places my FPS will drop from in the 50s to in the 10s.

I set ipresentinterval to 1 to 0 and it did not help; I lowered all my setting down to low and it had the same issue; I redownloaded the game with no success; I probably tried ever single fix I could find on the internet with none of it working.

So, I decided to share my specs on here to see if perhaps it's my hardware, or if anyone else has advice.

System Model
Gateway FX6800-01e

Operating System
Windows 7 Ultimate (x64) Service Pack 1 (build 7601)

Processor
2.67 gigahertz Intel Core i7 920

Main Circuit Board
Gateway TBGM01

Memory Modules
7160 Megabytes Usable Installed Memory

Display
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti
DELL S2009W Monitor

The game should be more optimized. Every time I enter a building my FPS tanks to about 10-15fps. I think the problem is with the shading, there's alot more shadows rendered more closely in a building. I also noticed in the options you can't do things such as disable shadows (or set the render distance to low). Weird.

You should upgrade your processor and memory, though. I am no expert, but they are just under minimal requirements.

Here is the min requirements as listed on Steam:

• MINIMUM:
  • OS: Windows 7/8/10 (64-bit OS required)
  • Processor: Intel Core i5-2300 2.8 GHz/AMD Phenom II X4 945 3.0 GHz or equivalent
  • Memory: 8 GB RAM
  • Graphics: NVIDIA GTX 550 Ti 2GB/AMD Radeon HD 7870 2GB or equivalent
  • Hard Drive: 30 GB available space
