If you need a few extra frames to at least maintain a constant 30-plus, I found that ‘Shadow quality’ and ‘Godrays quality’ made the biggest difference. Otherwise, use online calibration tools or images to make sure your colors are the best they can be. Without a slider, you can eyeball the brightness if you know what to look for. There’s not built-in gamma slider in Fallout 4, which may be a minor nitpick, but it’s easy for the already desaturated landscape to look extra washed out without proper gamma balance. Be warned though, we’ve been unable to test it extensively, so unlocking the framerate might have some messy side effects. Change that 1 to a 0, hit save, and let your framerate run free. Head to the Fallout4Prefs.ini file located by default in \Documents\My Games\Fallout4, open it and search for ‘iPresentInterval=1’. Uncap your framerateįraps has been capping out at 60 frames-per-second as I play, which obviously isn’t ideal for folks who want to fully utilize their 120 Hz or higher monitors. Anytime I tried to take a screenshot with FRAPS, the game crashed immediately. Don’t expect a stable environment with custom resolutions. The UI doesn’t scale, so keep that in mind, but you can always turn it off just to ogle the landscape with by pressing the tilde key (~), typing “-tm”, and hitting Enter.
