^^^ I had to select the DLC to get it to download, did not occur automatically for me.

Try turning down shadows but it probably won't help much, the game is somewhat CPU bound in certain areas even with a good CPU. I've read that the draw calls are single threaded and that the amount of draw calls for shadows skyrockets in some places, I'm not sure how accurate that is but it does fit the symptoms since lowering GPU intensive options doesn't really help and it's even worse on slower CPUs.
Clock your ram.Thanks for the advice. Yeah, turning down settings doesn't help. It seemed pretty clear to me that it was something CPU-wise as one core was at 60-80% usage while the others were in the 40's. Figured a 6700k would be strong enough. Maybe I'll start OCing it and see if it helps. I've looked at a few other tweaks that I am going to attempt tonight but I'm not very optimistic.
Clock your ram.
lol, theres your problem.That was one of the tweaks I was going to try. I was going to enable XMP for 3200MHz and test. Currently have XMP disabled in preparation for OCing so my RAM is running at 2133MHz at the moment.
lol, theres your problem.
FO4 is one of the few games that scales well with memory speed over 3200MHz.
2133Mhz is holding it back.
Your ram doesnt work at 3200MHz?Alas, OCing the memory did not work. I can however get the game to run very smoothly when I don't run into those weird dips. I also noticed that the dips occur when I'm viewing a lot of objects from a far distance. My frames are normally 80-98 with 100% GPU usage and when I get the dips it goes to 55 with around 70% GPU usage. Why does the game decide not to use that extra 30% when looking in certain areas? So odd. Below are links to two screenshots that give me the same issue. Unfortunately it did not capture the RTSS data but what I am viewing is what gives me the weak GPU utilization.

EDIT: Well I found a solution in a mod. Dynamic shadow (shadow boost) mod helped me maintain above 90% GPU usage in the troubled areas. Haven't noticed any visual degradation and frames never went below 77.

Dedicated Fallout: Cascadia stand alone, expansion, overhaul...not exactly sure what this is yet discussion thread.
Unfortunately it will need long distance detail turning up a lot to see anything worthwhile.That is some cool news. Separate mod located in Seattle, WA. I wonder if they are going to recreate the Needle Restaurant? Would be awesome if they did. 500 feet above the landscape would be a kickass view in the Fallout world.
FYI: I've been in the Needle Restaurant. A bit expensive but the food was well worth the price.
gee i am still to play all the dlcs, when i finished the game there was none

Hey AceGoober
Are you still playing this game or messing around with it any more? Any new good tricks and discoveries?
I just tried out Project Lunar and if that modder is ever able to get it off the ground it could be something.

^^ One year anniversary... they're still plugging away.
Currently in the process of reinstalling Fallout 4 and reinstalling mods. Had to due to long term instability from pushing the engine too far with high resolution graphics and script heavy mods. Wiped my characters as well. Figured since I am starting clean might as well remove the old characters and start anew.

I noticed ReShade is up to 3.07. I really liked using their sharpener combined with the game's TAA to get the best result.
EDIT: Good grief, this game is 85.6 gigs in size in total for all DLCs, content, and high rez texture pack.
AceGoober :
Amazing how much better this game runs without all that Settlement Keyword, Homemaker, Snap and Build, and all that other stuff I had going on. I don't even know if I have the nerve to tread back into any "Settlement mods" unless someone knows of "really" safe and solid bets.
I'd be interested to see where you're at with all of this.
Right now this and Reshade 3.0 for a little bit of sharpening to offset TAA's vaseline blur are all I'm running:

You probably want one of the 'Another Life' mods.I haven't played in quite some time, but I'm also tempted to "start over". Anyone have experience with any overhaul mods and/or ones that significantly change up the start of the game?
Are you planning on using DEF_UI and/or Unofficial Patch?
Yeah, that one definitely looks promising.
I'm liking the look of the changes made by the "War Never Changes" overhaul mod, too... http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/19642/?
