Fallout – Improve FPS in Fallout 4

fallout-4framerateperformance

My PC has integrated graphics, an AMD Radeon HD 7660D APU (3.4 GHz). I've done a clean install of the latest driver for it, but I still get atrocious FPS in Fallout 4. It stutters so much that it is almost unplayable when there are flames, many light sources, or weather effects.

I was wondering if, besides replacing my graphics card or installing mods, if there is any way to improve performance. This is what I have tried thus far:

  • Setting preset graphics setting to "Low" (textures, shadows, everything to the lowest setting)
  • Turning off all special effects (like lens flare, rain occlusion, etc)
  • Turning off anti-aliasing (looks like trash!)

I wanted to turn off weather effects (rain effects performance the most) but I have not found a way to do so.

Does anyone have any suggestions for overall game performance for my setup?

  • 64-bit Windows 7 SP1
  • 12GB RAM
  • 1.49 TB of free HD space
  • Direct X 11

As you can see, your GPU is not even half the rating of the minimum requirements (if compared to the GeForce). You should not expect to be able to run the game.

Note: I have no idea why the two minimum requirement cards have such a huge difference, but regardless, this is still way above the OP's hardware.
