Default mode is *60fps / Performance mode* but is that the optimal way to play Fallout 4 with update2? The results suggest maybe not. Have a look.

I really like how you were careful to point out the distance you sit at while using the 1440p mode on PS5 and how it factors into your enjoyment of that mode. People forget this all too often. I'm still kinda burnt out on FO4 so I won't be revisiting it quite yet but I'm looking forward to the fresh coat of paint once I do! Thanks for the vid, you should make more. :)

Thanks! In fact, once I’d finished this video I sat on the couch and installed the FO4 update on the Xbox Series X. Played for an hour and thought it was really smooth and looked really good. Checked console settings: 1440p! 👍

This was very helpful. This may sound strange, but I actually prefer not having too many settings. My ocd compels me to endlessly fiddle with them, trying to get the best option. That's why I prefer playing on consoles. I can appreciate the devs adding in the options, but I wasn't looking forward to the headache of trying to find the best option. What would work for me is a median setting between decent performance and visuals. And now I know what to set on my Series X. 40hz Visual mode. No hassle. So thank you.

I think of it as; visuals, resolution and frame rate. 40fps Visuals mode is the best balance 👍 But, since you have a Series X you might want to consider 1440p mode. It does not work on the Series S, which is why I didn’t recommend it. Unless you really notice the drop in resolution from 4K to 1440p during gameplay 1440p mode offers highest visuals, highest frame rate and (for most people) an imperceptible drop in resolution. Main drawback is you need to change resolution in console settings. Just a thought. Cheers! 😁

Hi Ramnexus, I play next gen Fallout 4 with mods on the Xbox Series X, and the game is lagging a little. Do you know which option settings i should do for playing next gen Fallout 4 Xbox Series X with mods? I need help please, also thank you.

Howdy. I use 40fps/Visuals mode. I did a bunch of fps tests for each graphics mode. Framerate set to 40fps provided best balance between high framerate and good frametiming (fewer dips, lag etc). Setting the game to prioritize "Visuals" instead of "performance" didn't seem to hurt fps. Also, I noticed the unofficial Fallout 4 patch (v39) can cause dips and freezes, even when no other mods are loaded. Cheers.

Been looking into these videos. Performance is also my hobby though I'm curious how you capture lossless files. Obs lossless is good but sometimes I get corruptions at 4k and 1080p. What capture card are you using and your rig/PC spec?

Howdy. Yes it is not a straight forward process. I have an i7 9700 cpu and 16GB of DDR3 ram. 4TB SSD, which helps a lot. RTX3800 but don’t use it much for video encoding, prefer to use CPU - more consistent results. Most lossless video is recorded via OBS using its default ‘simple’ lossless setting. Enormous files. After much testing I have found down-rezzing from 2160p to 1080p in OBS does not impact fps results, so that’s what I did for my next video (also on Fallout 4). Just bought an elgato 4K X usb capture device which works well. Was using elgato 4K pro mk 2 pcie card but it generates artefacts and can’t do 4K/120fps. And that’s just to capture the lossless gameplay footage 😁 Cheers!

I have a Xbox Series X but my 65inch Sony HD tv is 10 years old and is only capable of 60hz and is 4K 10-bit at 24hz capable. As a result when I go into the settings menu of the game, my only choice for frame rate target is either 30 or 60. If you were in my place would you then choose visuals or performance mode?
@ramnexus

Fair question. I’d probably go 60fps Performance mode. The reduction in graphics in this mode is not obvious (to me) during normal gameplay, only when I’m looking to distant objects. There are still some dips in frame rate but not as bad as Visuals mode. The other option, if you prefer good visuals, is 30fps/Visuals mode which gives the best possible visuals the game can offer and fps sticks to 30 at all times. Cheers!

@@ramnexus Earlier today I applied those settings and everything seemed fine until I got inside Corvega Factory. Once inside it was constant stuttering, so I switched to visual mode and that pretty much solved the problem. Now I've discovered a new bug that is really noticeable at night. The brightness level drops considerably for a few seconds then goes back to normal. It is constant but not so bad during the day.

@@ramnexus I was playing on survival mode recently when the game crashed as I was about to sleep on a bed to save the game. I had been trying to get through that quest for several hours and when I did, it crashed. It’s been hard for me to get back into playing knowing there are still so many bugs. I still love watching the videos though. I just want Bethesda to fix the critical issues.

Hi from Australia! Yes, I love the field of view mods and want to measure how they impact fps. You are right, Boston is the worst, but open areas with lots of enemies and loooong draw distance might be worth a look too!
