Hi, I hope this is the right place to post this, I've just started playing fallout 4 however despite having a fairly decent computer, I am getting pretty bad performance issues.
I've had between 25-45 fps in an unpopulated area (the truck stop near the start of the game for anyone who has played it). I've been fiddling about with the settings but nothing I change appears to have any significant difference. I updated and the drivers and used geforce experience to optimize when I initially ran the game, but since then I've also run the game at completely minimum settings (and everything inbetween) and there is no significant difference in FPS (including dropping resolution from 1920x1080 to 1280x720)
Googling has shown me some possible fixes, such as playing with shadow settings, and v-sync (I've tried both of these). My fundamental question is why I dont see a performance increase when running the game on lowest possible settings and/or low resolution, make me worry if my pc isnt working properly - any ideas would be appreciated!
PC Specs are as follows:
CPU: i5-4960 @ 3.5 ghz
GPU: GTX 970 4GB
RAM: 8gb ddr3 (Exceleram 1600mhz)
SSD: SanDisk Z400s 256 GB (steam directory is on this)
Motherboard: MSI H81I LGA1150 Mini-ITX
The reason I am posting here is that I'm worried it could be a hardware/software issue specific to my PC (rather than the game itself) as I can find plenty of people with a very similar PC to mine who are basically maxing out the game on ultra.
If there is any other information I can provide that would help please let me know
Thanks
