Fallout 4 FPS

[_Vault_Dweller_]

My gpu is an MSI 390 8gb
Cpu is fx 6300
8gb ram
750 watt psu

I usually get a solid 60 except for in cities. In some cities I drop to 20 or less. Even if this game isn't fully optimized I feel I should at least get a solid 30. Also In gta 5 I get about 30-60 and my friend gets a good 60 on a slightly lesser rig. Is this normal for my rig or is there something holding me back?

Have a read of this for suggested tweaks:

Digital Foundry's report suggests that Fallout prefers Intel processors, so that could be an issue:

But try the steam article first

With an i5-4690 + GTX 960 I never drop below 60 fps in balanced settings (TAA + Bokeh DOF + All medium graphics settings + All post proccessing options on), and never below 40 fps on maximum settings. This is at 1080p ofcourse, assuming you also run at 1080p. Either you haven't updated your drivers for a while or something is going wrong either hardware or software wise on your system.

Ah ok, that's really weird then. Now I have played a bit more I do notice same frame drops in some missions, it usually drops to 50-55 but never below that strangely. I'll see if there is a solution hanging about. Might not be well enough optimised perhaps but 20 fps is too low that's for sure.
