Im getting Pretty Bad frames on ultra on my 460gtx though i was maxing F3. Let me mess with the settings a bit and ill get to you.

Update
 
Pretty Much even with the lowest settings Im getting low frames outside in the game alot microstutter and such. Bah this is disappointing.
 

New game, lots of bugs, and optimization still to be done...it prob just not only you but other ppl aswell.

Playing it with the latest beta drivers no issues, only gripe would be when stuff loads in when your running. Other than that awesome game. Sky does not even flicker like it does on FO3 with sli.

You talking about the 260.93 BETA that are out?

It doesnt surprise me, Bethesda has always had the problem of buggy games at launch.

Oh I found one more tiny little thing I dont like the radio stations I hate most of the western music... FO3 might have had fewer songs but as a whole it had better radio songs playing. 

Try this:
 
Simply force AA and AF in CCC ( or Nvidia's whatchamacallit ) and turn off the in game AA and AF.

Before doing above I was getting lousy frame rates...considering my rigs horsepower. 20 to 60 fps...yechh !

Now it never budges from 60 fps...

19x12
4AA ( CCC forced )
16AF ( CCC forced )
V-sync on
All options maxed...

This also helps with the momentary hiccups ....

Game still kinda buggy..quests, inventory etc..but now it runs a lot better.

Yuck who the hell picked that that text color to go with that forum background?!
I'll give this a whirl whenever I get a chance to start FONV up...

I don't notice any difference, I am still playing on Medium. Hope they fix this. This is extremely annoying.

ok I guess I spoke too soon =/ anyone else notice when in areas with many human NPC's you get a massive framerate drop? It was never this bad on Fallout 3...

Hey guys, I read this on another post on the 400 series forums. Make sure that in the Nvidia control panal under "Manage 3D settings" that you have your power management setting set to max. Its simple but it can significantly increase your framerate, if your problem is low framerate. I was getting around 8fps in scenes with many characters and about 25fps on average. After changing the settings I got about 45fps on average and 15fps with lots of characters. Still kinda low but its an improvement.
 
Other than that I guess we just have to wait for an update to roll out, either it being a graphics driver update or an actual game update...whenever that happens

I found something else to try Download d3d9.dll and drag/drop in to your Fallout New Vegas folder. (/steamapps/common/fallout new vegas (Same location as falloutNV.exe))
 
It helped a bunch of people for the NPC slowdown here: http://forums.bethsoft.co...ear-npcs/page__st__140
 
It is supposed to fix the low GPU utilization and the lag when multiple NPC are on the screen.
 
EDIT: fixed link

I have just tested it, and I can confirmed it worked for me! Lag free!
 
I would like to mention that after copying the file to the game directory, the next time you will start the game, it should auto-detect the hardware again and set everything to medium. I did set it to high and my resolution back to 1920x1080 (it got reset) and the game run so much better!
 
Awaiting feedback from you guys,
 
Cheers!

No issues here with my GTX470 with everything maxed @ 1920x1080. I am on the 258.96 drivers.
 
I've been running consistently at 60fps, with the rare drop to 50 or so. The GPU usage never seems to go above 60%-70% (even during an FPS drop), and CPU usage is much the same. Going to try that download and see if my GPU utilization goes up.

PERFORMANCE TWEAK!!!

First download the dx9.dll from the following link

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6LHPT9ZC

Has been virus scanned!

Copy the DX9.DLL file into your root Fallout 3 vegas directory , run the launcher it will detect new hardware 7800gs. Go into your options and wack everything back up to what you had it before. Ultra in my case! ( Don't touch the hardware type , leave it as 7800GS )

Run the game , apparantly this has fixed many peoples frame rate problems and stutter problems. From further research it seems there is a bug between the game and DX10/11 cards and directx.

If you notice no difference , just delete the file!..

Frame rates have shot up for me with no difference in quality

 
I did the steps out lined above and it all stuttering has  disappeared. Maybe it will work for you.
