Poor performance in Fallout 4+ other issues. (AMD CPU)

[aryamanp56]

I play the game at the settings mentioned. I get 30-40 fps on avg but when i go to the populated areas(college square/lexington), my fps takes a dump and i'm down to the low 20s sometimes dropping to 15. I've seen similar rigs to mine pull 30+ in these areas which gives me cause to worry.Furthermore, the INI files keep switching back to "read only" mode even when i uncheck the option. Games like the witcher 3 and modded skyrim work just fine  w/ consistent performance all round. I'm running Fo4 in borderless windowed mode which yielded a slight fps increase- (as suggested by someone on steam) Any help would be appreciated!

I've heard that anything above 60 fps breaks the physics in any bethsoft title. But i will give it a try and report back!

Anisotropic Filtering at 2x, are you insane?

Ya, anything below 16x isnt worth it.  B)
