MAXIMIZE YOUR GAMING EXPERIENCE WITH FALLOUT 76: 120 FPS AND IMPROVED PERFORMANCE
Have you downloaded Fallout 76 for free on PC with your Amazon Prime subscription but are not satisfied with the performance of the Bethesda Game Studios game? No problem, as just a few tricks are enough to make the experience more fluid .
How to Unlock Framerate in Fallout 76
If you don’t want to resort to external mods and your desire is solely and exclusively to unlock the Fallout 76 framerate, know that it is sufficient to change a single number in the settings file.To guarantee the creation of the ‘Fallout76Prefs.ini’ file, you must launch Fallout 76 at least once.
This action will prompt the creation of the file in the following directory: ‘DocumentsMy GamesFallout 76’.
Open the file, which consists of a long list of text strings that correspond to various game settings. Look for ‘iPresentInterval=1’ and change it to ‘iPresentInterval=0’ . Then close the file and save your changes. Once you’ve completed launching Fallout 76 and the ‘Fallout76Prefs.ini’ file has been created, V-Sync won’t be enabled automatically. As a result, you’ll have the option to play with an unlocked framerate.
How to improve performance
Even after the release of Fallout 76’s big late April update , the game continues to have some issues where some areas of the map are experiencing framerate fluctuations. If this represents a problem for you, you can solve it thanks to the excellent work of a modder, who has created a series of files that intervene on some aspects of the Bethesda title and significantly improve performance.
The very long name of the mod is ‘Ultimate F76 fixes frames stutter molerat complex no feet shadows and water fix’ and it is possible to download it in three versions that adapt to the graphics settings used by players: there is the preset for Ultra textures (for those owns a video card with at least 8GB of VRAM), the preset for High textures (for those who own a video card with at least 6GB of VRAM) and the one for medium textures, which is suitable for those who own a PC with a few years of more on the shoulders.
Firstly, download the desired file from the mod’s official page on NexusMods. Afterward, ensure you’ve launched Fallout 76 on your PC at least once. Then, navigate to the ‘My GamesFallout 76 Documents’ path and paste the ‘Fallout76Prefs.ini’ file there. When prompted to overwrite the existing file, accept the prompt.The default resolution is 1920×1080 pixels , but you can change it by opening the file in question and modifying the ‘iSize W=1920’ and ‘iSize H=1080’ entries with the parameters you prefer. The same goes with other graphics options indicated in the official description of the mod.
At this point you need to follow one last step, which is to manually lock the framerate. If you have an Nvidia graphics card, simply open the Nvidia control panel and, in Manage 3D settings , select Fallout 76 and set the Maximum frame rate item to 60, 120 or any other value you want. You can do the same on AMD video cards via the settings panel or by using external applications. Now all you have to do is launch the game and enjoy it with the improved performance.
It is worth underlining that the mod does not worsen the graphic quality of Fallout 76, but disables some minor effects and features which negatively affect fluidity without however making actual improvements to the visual sector.
