i have a :
fx 8350
8 gb ram gskill 1600
GTX 980

And having low fps in urban places like Lexington..
the fun thing is i can put all in medium and all in ultra and i get same fps ?!

GTX 970 MSI Gaming edition

16GB

Some i7-CPU with 4.0ghz K4770 or something like that

Running on ultra with 50-60fps except for a few areas mid-boston, usually when looking south-west.

Probably means you're CPU-limited, not vidcard-limited.
(You've got a good CPU, but a killer vidcard.)
Try to lay off any CPU-intensive settings (?)
I know - it's easier to select a more modest video preset, heheh...
What about AA? Disable it for now.
Things will improve a lot in another week or two, with a new game patch and vidcard drivers arriving.
Tough to take the strain off your CPU.
Maybe tune up your rig? Make sure nothing else is running while playing the game.
Like I said, things should get better in the next little while...

See, buddy has less vidcard than you Null_Code, but more CPU and memory.
And he's getting better performance...
Hey I like the 8-core CPU, and it's pretty strong!
Dunno. Game just likes Intel better?

Its your CPU causing it to choke. Here's a processor review for the game. My i5-4690k gets 80% better FPS than your FX-8350 in Boston.

Hopefully they will be able to massage the game with a patch down the road, but your processor is always going to hold you back to an extent. It did the exact same thing in Skyrim, but the game wasn't as demanding so you could still keep a decent FPS with an AMD processor in CPU intensive areas. That's not the case now.

Sounds like that's exactly what's going on. I've got an i5-4570 (a fair bit faster than yours) matched with a GTX 760 (significantly slower than yours) and 8GB of ram and I'm getting literally no slowdown anywhere with most things on high and max @ 1920 x 1200. In fact I think the only thing I've set to medium is Godrays. Simple fact is you've got a GPU that can't deliver because it's anchored to a significantly weaker CPU. In a resource-eating monster like a 64bit open world RPG that's going to tell even more than usual. A lot of PC gamers are unaware of just how much bottle-necking will impact their performance and you've got a big discrepancy there.

I7 4930k 4.6ghz, gtx 980ti. I'm also having this problem in the cities. In the wild its a constant 60 it the cites goes into low 40s, has something to do with shadow distance hopefully there is something Bethesda can do

Same issue with me also, however, when my fps drops it does not recover back to normal unless I restart the game, sometimes even that doesnt fix it, Ive tried every setting possible.

i7 3770k 3.5ghz
Amd 7970 ghz edition 3gb
16gb ram
