Why is F4 Running so bad on my rig?

Post » Mon Mar 28, 2016 8:08 pm

I run The Witcher 3 on High at 50+ Frames. I really don't know why Fallout 4 dips down to 25 and shoots back up to 70 so randomly, is it just Bethesda being Graphics racist and optimizing better for Nvidia?

Even on LOW settings, it still dips down to 35 [censored] frames in certain areas. Here's my specs:


R9 390X


A8-7650K

16 GBs of DDR3 RAM


Someone tell me if I'm wrong but I think my PC should be smashing 60+ frames. Any suggestions?

Fallout 4 is definitely more CPU demanding than Witcher 3. I'm afraid that APU is bottlenecking your video card.

Try disabling power efficiency in your driver settings.

According to who?



The frame rates can be variable and entirely depend on where you are on the map and what you are looking at.


It should be 60+ frames for many areas. It will drop in some. Shadows tend to cause a big hit.
