I have both the fose stutter remover and the FO3 3G enabler, but I have still getting a lot of stuttering and long pauses (up to 5-15 seconds long) when moving. The game will be very fluid, with great frames per second, for a bit, and will then come to a complete stop. So the framerate is very intermittent instead of always slow.

I have both AA and AF set to Use Application Settings in the Catalyst settings menu.

I am using several of NMC's high resolution (2048) texture packs for the terrain and the roads.

My load order is below.

I am running on a Core i7 CPU Q740 @ 1.73GHz, 2 AMD 5870 cards in Crossfire with 10.11 Drivers, 4GB RAM, Win 7 Ultimate. I had hoped this would be enough horsepower to run FO3 well at 1900x1020 on my laptop.

I have turned off all AA and AF within the game. What other graphics settings would folks suggest that would hopefully reduce this incredible lag, and of my mod list below, are any settings possilbly contributing to this stop-start performance?


PS- didn't see an option to edit my post title, or I would have removed the part about the screen flicker, which I addressed.

Thanks.
