Yes, but since the game freaks out at a framerate over 60 i need to lock it down somehow. And both fps-locks at 58, 60 and 62fps results in different types of stuttering.

So if you're waiting for a package to arrive or are stuck at work, I posted another video of me playing on PC. I got into a little bit of trouble and may have killed an innocent gal along the way.

Interesting. I have two GTX 980s.

Don't lock it at all with RTSS, and don't unlock the framerate in the .ini file.
It's not the best thing to do, but set it to "Force alternate frame rendering 2". It gets the job done well until we get proper support.
It's been working fine with my GTX690.

Is there a video showcasing this? I haven't experienced this yet. Currently playing @ locked 72fps.
The physical PC version is only one DVD. Therefore it does not hold the complete game, you have to download the rest on Steam.
This really sucks, and not only for those like me stuck with a 8mb internet(http://i.imgur.com/Utkdsag.png), those with bandwidth cap also get shafted.
Fallout 4 is 24gb, 4 DVDs should suffice.
Won't be noticeable at 72FPS. When you get to 120+ stuff really starts to break.
Yep, 1080p/60hz. Thanks.

I doubt you would notice at a capped 72fps. Uncap it and watch everything go Benny Hill.
This is good to hear, almost the same set up. Can't wait to set it up tonight.

I turned my g-sync off and the terminal freeze stopped. How do I use Nvidia inspector to limit frame rate? I downloaded it but couldn't figure out how to do it.
Hi all, what are the settings to increase texture detail distance? Somehow its feeling blurry even after messing around with the entries in the ini (as documented on the cached version of geforce tweak guide posted here). I guess maybe removing antialiasing and just downsampling.

Yeah, I didn't notice anything when I played at 100-110fps, but I'm not sure what it is supposed to break (physics?). Maybe it only affects 120+.

Surprised at how well this game is running for me so far. Running pretty much the minimum specs, and I'm getting a pretty stable performance on medium so far. I was worried it was going to be a slideshow, but so far, so good.

I miss that one time when my framerate was like 600-800 during lockpick (only during that, then it went back to 100-110). I'd rather have broken physics than this goddamn stuttering.
This still didn't work for me. Am I supposed to be changing the FalloutPrefs in the Fallout 4 folder or in my Documents? Because changing the one in the Fallout 4 folder never does anything it seems like.
Now when I try to launch the game I just get a black screen until the game crashes.
This is really frustrating. I just want to play the game at my computer's native resolution and borderless windowed mode won't let me do that.

What's preventing me from getting 60fps on medium settings?
My i5 4460 3.2GHz

I have the same cpu and a 970, and it mostly runs at 60 on the highest settings.
Yeah I'm getting that problem too.
Getting close to buying an X1 or steam controller. Have nothing but probs with DS4 sadly

I haven't been playing with DS4 but typically the double input issue happens with DS4tool/DS4Windows you need to enable "Hide DS4" in the settings.

Anybody know or can link to documentation that glosses over game physics? I have a kepler gpu and in the case of Witcher 3, gave better fps when you switch physics duties to cpu rather than gpu. Was wondering if that might be the case with FO4. I have it set on cpu right now, and unless there is a compelling reason to switch, I won't.
That is still a bit broken with win 10

What happens if you set the .ini file to read-only?
Was I mistaken in the assumption the volumetric light shafts would be running at a higher resolution on PC, or is something up with my system? Everything defaulted to ultra except god rays at high, but I'm still noticing that obvious lower resolution artifacting/aliasing around some objects that you see in the console versions below (around the woman's head on the steps):

Noticed this too.
Thanks a lot, fixed all my stutters!

It's not so bad. I downloaded the game at around 2mb/s in 3 and a half hours. With pre-loading it wasn't an issue at all.
That's why it's worth putting that setting on low. Huge FPS saving, no loss in quality compared to high (noticeably).
about 2 hours into the game and it runs fine (60fps+) on my setup
i7 3770 @ 3.5Ghz (slight overclock)
Gigabyte gtx 780 ti OC edition
8Gb RAM
1080p 144hz monitor
Everything maxed except godrays set to medium and the view distance sliders left at their default position.
Was getting stuttering as others reported when moving the camera (controller and mouse) but that was resolved by enabling adaptive v-sync in nvidia control panel. Perfect for now.

Regarding DS4 and Windows 10, there really is no need for DS4Windows. Windows 10 seems to support the DS4 with plug and play when running with USB, gives you correct button prompts as well. I just plugged my DS4 in, and it worked without a single issue in KotOR2.
Can test to verify with Fallout 4 after Steam finishes my download which suddenly decided to go to 1MB/s max instead of the normal 10MB/s.

Am using a lot of tweaks from this thread. i7-4770k, GTX-970. Everything Ultra, except Godrays low.
I had the strange stuttery vibe indoors but the exclusive fullscreen/nvidia vsync fix sorted it out. Also using the two mouse fixes, the beta patch, and K-Putt's Config.
So far, a rock solid and smooth 60fps, although I guess that will change when I get to the city.
It might not be cutting edge tech, but I'm liking what they've managed to do here with the visuals and the art design. This is a nice step up for Bethesda. And performance is a definite plus. The Gaf graphics meltdown over this game seems to have been seriously overblown.

will this suffice?

Is there a way to force it through your nvidia or AMD control panel rather than in the game itself?
Will try that too. So used to using ds4windows

Use SweetFX to inject some SMAA?
Hmm, I'm looking at the cached Nvidia guide again and it looks like the only setting with god rays running at a good resolution is ultra, any other setting exhibits lower resolution artifacts. I just didn't notice it yesterday.
In fact any setting from high to low seems to look identical, but ultra looks "clean." Although it does seem to be a higher fidelity than console even at low. This comparison is zoomed 200% by the way.
no, you will definitely need a motherboard, some RAM, a power supply, storage unit / drive, optical drive, good CPU cooler, Internet access, operating system and a mouse & keyboard, also the game and some Steam account.

Really disappointed in these huge frame drops. From 60 to 30 when in/near Diamond City. No matter if I lower settings if doesn't really help and I can't be bothered anymore trying fixes to get it working.
I've requested a refund from Steam. I doubt I'll get it though cause I have 8 hours of play time but if I knew of these huge drops then I would have done it sooner.
Specs: i5-4590/16GB/R9 290 4GB (overclocked)/SSD.
