Graphics settings that are better off (Fallout 4)

Everyone knows that in big cities, FPS on most computers sags just to unplayable, so I decided to take the time to find the very setting that is best not to use at all.
And I came to the conclusion that this is the distance for drawing shadows. I do not know what the problem is, but it is by lowering this setting that the dips in the FPS disappear. The rest of the settings do not significantly affect these dips.
This is how it looks in my case.
My bundle is i5 4440 + gtx 970


ps (December 14). found a test comparing two processors in this game. i5 3rd generation vs i7 5th.


either the game needs streams or cache. and maybe it's even in the ozu.

I am once again saying that it is quite problematic to see 100% CPU utilization in everyday life. only possible in specially optimized applications.
therefore, the actual load in a multi-core processor under 80-90 can be equated to 100. However, I do not exclude that the video card can also slow down in a certain sense. but the calculation of the light for it, in principle, is such that shadows are not processed continuously each frame, but in some other way, which does not allow loading shaders directly to the full extent. you can write, for example, in the place of 4096 shadows 8192. this should make the vidyuhu work as cores and not kick the bulldozer and see how it sags. and if this is not enough, you can try to increase it to 16k if the engine takes such a value. here I think 970 will no longer be up to FPS and the download will always be close to the ceiling.

The easiest way to download Fraps.
The easiest way is to turn on the counter in the Steam itself without any left prog))

Maybe a person has a pirated version of the game.

Sun rays - a special case of the GodRays mode - the same volumetric lighting. In principle, it eats a little FPS, but not so critical as to turn it off.

I have a very weak computer: E5400 percent (he is years and years old. Made in the last decade), 8 Gig of RAM, a PECH650TiAy 1 GB card.

So, here I am playing with two beta patches from Arbor, I have ENB Boost 0.285 version, there is a 4: 3 monitor fix and ShadowBoost of the latest version, compatible with the latest beta patch.

At the same time, my textures are set to high, all effects are turned on except for motion blur, vertical sync is turned off in the INI file, and volumetric lighting is turned on to a minimum, also in the INI.

As a result, the FPS in the city in the very lagged place (before there were 3 FPS, this is near the city hall with super mutants), my FPS does not drop below 25. in the wastelands - stable 40-50. Indoors - below 40 does not happen at all.

The chip is in ShadowBust. This mod from modgame.ru does the following: it scans the FPS in the game, and if it falls below the limit specified in its own INI file, then the rendering distance begins to decrease until it returns the FPS above the specified threshold.

In the game, it’s just noticeable how this pribluda works: the kneading starts, the vertibird arrives, a bunch of shadows appear, the FPS begins to fall, immediately the most distant shadows disappear and the FPS increases. This is a victory for the defense.

Steam eats resources much more than fraps. What is the benefit of burdening yourself with a large waste of resources?

Abbat76 It never crossed my mind
about a stolen toy, but the normal version is launched this way and that through Steam, although xs what mythical resources he should eat

disabled vertical sync in the INI file
Can you please tell me how to do this? I can't get above 60 fps

The processor does not cope, you need either an i7, or drive your i5-4440 to 4.5 ghz at least. or reduce the drawing distance.

Open Fallout4Pref.ini (it should be in your documents, for example C: Users Documents My Games Fallout4)
Find the line iPresentInterval = 1 and change the value to 0. Like this: iPresentInterval = 0

Make a backup copy certainly. You can simply delete the Fallout4Pref.ini file and the game will re-download it with the default values.

Another important addition - the nexus has a global texture mod for owners of screens with low resolutions such as 1280x1024 or 1300x768, etc. The mod replaces more than 2.5 GB of game textures, which is in 4K quality for "normal" textures, compressed to an acceptable size. With recent fixes and updates (from 6/12/2015), I started with textures on ultra and got stable 35-45 FPS in Concorde, with shadows on medium, volumetric light on, bokeh blur. I'll go to Diamond City to see how this preset works in Boston. In the meantime, I am absolutely delighted - I replay in a new way and the productivity in the mission to free the minutemans and kill the Deathclaw is very high. I did not expect this from my weak equipment.

It's not even a matter of stolen toy or not. The fact is that fraps eats minuscule resources. and Steam, whatever one may say, is a complex program with content, images and Internet traffic, which cannot but devour the resource by itself. Therefore, I use even without Steam - Razer Game Booster, which launches games from the gaming table for me, where everything that is not useful for the game is unloaded. And I physically cut off the Internet connection on my switch - I don't need it to play Fallout 4.

According to reports, I get some release of the resource. In conditions of insufficiency, this is important. And not so much memory - I already have 8 GB of it, and processor power, which is not :)

GG4 Prots is

not loaded 100%.
And I don’t need to rub in that I cannot see 100% in life ... In the game itself, with the shadow rendering range disabled, the percentage is loaded STRONGER.
and 100% in GTA 5 is loaded easily. I do not see the reasons and problems in the process. And overclocking won't help either. Stop talking nonsense, please, like broken records.

Hmm. strange. Why does the i5 not cope and needs to be driven, and my old E5400 - almost always copes? )

because you pumped mods where all these problem settings are already disabled.

So maybe this is the right solution to problems?

well, I don't want to poke around with these mods, so I solved the problem like this.

E5400 2x2.7GHz into the LGA775 socket. 8 Gig RAM PECH650TiAy 1GB, mother - Asus P5G41TM-L2

monitor 1280x1024 (4: 3), textures - all on ultra, shadows and light - all on medium. all pribludy included except for motion blur. TAA + anisotropy x16.
In Concorde 38-45 FPS. in the premises are stable 45. A one-time drawdown of up to 25 FPS was noticed in a battle against solar volumetric lighting lasting about 1-1.5 seconds.

I have already described a set of patch mods for this preset.

Once again: if the toy is not burned, then Steam will be launched in any case, and will consume its own memory - fraps will be an optional additional application. As for resource consumption - in idle time, the same steam does not perform any calculations, unless it updates / loads something, therefore, there is nothing to load the processor with - at least comparable to the same fraps. I will not argue about memory, although for 10 years now I don’t see the need to twitch about the extra 100-200 MB, it’s not like the times when computers with 1 GB of RAM were considered top-end))
And I don't trust any pseudo-boosters at all - they create more visibility of vigorous activity, "push into the far corner" everything that is not being used right now, this very second - as a result, the visibility of some kind of release of resources that quickly return to their places after the resumption of normal work computer)) At one time it was interesting to test similar shit and make sure of their almost complete uselessness))

I literally play on shit: 2 cores 3Ghz, 4GB RAM, Vidyushka AMD HD 7850 - 2048MB VRAM. As a result, the premises are stable at 60 fps (with a lock of 60), on the wastelands 50-60 with minor slowdowns and sharp changes (to be honest, every day more and more start to get bored, played almost 120 hours normally, apparently on enthusiasm, and now annoying) here in Boston, drawdowns and jerks up to 30 fps are already noticeable. Given the trimmed textures and EVEN turning off the shadows ... Nothing helps. It's almost impossible to play in the city ... I looked at the dispatcher and the game eats about 7-10 percent of the total memory. How so ?! If there are 8 gigs of RAM in mines? But I'm already starting to bomb and by the new year I will buy myself a percentage and a RAM bar for 4 GB ... In the meantime, I install New Vegas))

On the whole it is true. But if we are talking about an increase in productivity, then this is how it works - here we win 1-2%, over there - another 1-2%, on another - 1-2%, and as a result - an increase in a relatively noticeable 5-10 %, or even all 15% with mods. Let's imagine a game on the verge of comfort - with some 25-26 FPS. Is it inconvenient? And let's add 3-4 more FPS in this? is already acceptable. we get 29-30, and in some cases even more. As if the increase is imperceptible - think 3-5 FPS, and comfort appears where it was not.

So, little by little, little by little, but I reached the level of completely comfortable game in technical terms, having sacrificed a very insignificant, imperceptible loss of quality. It suits me. And I will continue to run the same Booster, knowing that my comfort from the booster takes little, but this is only part of the overall improvement. I won't reckon with the little things - I won't get the whole whole improvement :)

I hope I managed to explain my position.
