Fallout 4 cannot identify hardware?

[Jason_Tan_]

I am a new pc owner and just built my first one this past month so I am not the most experienced with this stuff fyi. I have a pc with an i5 6600 and an rx 480 running windows 10, and when I load up Fallout 4 it says "your video hardware was not identified. Video settings have been set for low quality." I have searched this a bit to no end so far. I managed to turn off the frame cap in the fallout4prefs.ini file and got somewhere around 100-200 fps, so I know my computer has more to give. The shadows look extremely jagged and the textures are lacking. What can I do to make this better? Am I missing a driver because I have the radeon settings etc? Thanks in advance!

Grab the latest drivers:  16.9.2 (I would do minimal - 12.5MB)

In Fallout, go to the options and change the settings.

Just so that your aware removing the frame rate cap breaks the game sorta.  The of the game is tied to the fps so at 60 fps its normal speed, but at 120 fps it would be doubled.

Yes I did actually realize that when I did that.
