Fallout 4 is gonna Fallout 4. The game ships with some engine issues and broken previs meshes that cause stuttering/hitching, especially in the downtown boston area. Install Mod Organizer 2 then use that to install the Unofficial Fallout 5 Patch (https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/4598) and Previsibines Repair pack (https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/46403). I'd also recommend Buffout 4, guide here: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/articles/3115). 

 

Also, I think the game is locked to 60fps? Could be why it looks that way, IIRC FO4 has the physics tied to framerate so running above 60fps gets really fucky without specific mods to unlink the physics.

I also get this same issue in fallout 3 and new Vegas. Is that normal?, and there was a time when fallout 3 ran fine on this machine

Fallout 4 is locked to 60fps at the engine level, if you want a high fps experience you'll have to use F4SE and the High FPS Physics Fix.

 

Personally, trying to play through Proton/Wine things like Buffout made the game wildly unstable. If there's any single mod worth throwing at the game, it's going to be the high fps physics fix for me. The difference in how the game felt to play was by far the largest of anything I found you could do to it. It cut my loading times down to less than a quarter of what they were without it, everything feels more fluid and natural. When you press E on a door it actually loads and you can edit the .ini for it to speed up loading times and tweak what it can do.

Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas also are locked to 60fps.

 

I think this is the mod you want for New Vegas, you'll need nvse I'd imagine as well and I guess it's not enabled by default according to a google result? I haven't setup fnv in a few years.

I'm sure with stuff existing like TTW you can either already use it with Fallout 3 or there's a similar mod called something along the same lines of fps fix available.
