However, I still get really unnecessary FPS dips in areas where it doesn't make any sense. For instance, a little town called Goodneighbor, or the museum in Concord, my FPS dips down to the 30's. Doesn't make sense considering it's not part of the game instance, and how small it is compared to the outside environment. Especially the museum where a very small in-door area gives me 30 FPS. I think at this point it's on Bethesda, and they need to patch the game in order to optimize for SLI.

EDIT: Looks like I spoke too soon, seems like this profile is not properly done, and some people are reporting negative SLI scaling, saying that the bits they where using before the driver update gave them much better performance:

Looks like Bethesda and nVidia have more work to do.

Absolutely,
Like I said earlier I have seen a general improvement in the small drops i have had Not SLI. A couple of questions if I may. first I am on a 780 TI 4 gig have you noticed the last couple of generation GPU's are the ones having the most problems? I was getting ready to buy a 980 and the wife talked me into waiting till after Christmas I would have been livid had i spent the money to get it only to find the 780 was better. are the drivers just not catching up with current hardware?

Second, are you running any texture mods in your setups? I only ask because I had downloaded one from the nexus *(well several) but one was causing strange happenings. a simple high res signs texture replacer. In urban areas where there was lots of signs Fallout was chocking up but not on framerate. it was other things like disappearing arms and weapons once my carry weight went up to 3030 from 330 I took it out and all the strangeness went away. I harbor the suspicion that since Bethesda wrote this game Intending to have it modded they started messing around with crap that was just simple and working before. Now we all know poorly made textures can flush the toilet on your game/GPU but these are reasonably well made and not excessive in size. 2k avg on the signs. I don't even want to see it react to a 4k NPC body replacer like is common in skyrim. Anyhow probably not the forum for it but it relates somewhat to you guys discussion.

I've seen reports of a many different setups with problems that are both on the 700 series of video cards and 900 series. Both SLI and non-SLI, which tells me that Fallout 4 is horribly optimized, and they need to patch it. It's like they released a beta...

As for your second question, no texture mods on my end. If your getting problems, you might need to reinstall the game because of the mod.

it is impossible to make any sense out of this thread.
Now I have given up and are playing it in 1920x1080 with my side vision black

Check page 20. It has a guide on there.

But... for reasons.... We don't have one yet for Fallout 4.

Are you using surround also?
Last time I checked surround on Win10 the windows UI was messed up and skewed so I went back to 8.1
Did they fix that do you know?

5760x1080 works at 60fps now at least woohoo!
Does anyone have a link to the files needed to fix the menu I know they're on this page somewhere...

I've been using Win 10 since release and I've never had a problem with 5760x1080. Though if there was a problem for you, I think it might have been fixed in the massive Nov update.

Here are the instructions, again.

1) Download the zip file provided by Haldi in his post - http://www.wsgf.org/forums/viewtopic.ph ... 12#p162512 - "Fallout4 - Interface2.zip" - Unzip and copy the file.

2) Go to "Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data" rename interface.ba2 to interface.old and then place Haldi's ba2 file into its place (renaming to interface.ba2)

3) Edit the Fallout4.ini file with:
[Interface]
fSafeZoneX=250.0
//was 15.0 - MM fix is 250.0
fSafeZoneXWide=1300.0
//was 64.0 - MM Fix is 1300.0
//add these values
fNoteDistance=12.0000
fBookDistance=36.6667
fWorkshopMenuItem3DScale=2.0000

4) Save

5) Edit the Fallout4prefs.ini with:
[Display]
iSize W=5760

Or whatever your width of your desktop is so long as it isn't bezel corrected.

6) Save

7) Run the game

Let me guess you are on nVidia and using Bezel compensation right? If so you are going to have to switch to non bezel corrected till nVidia catches up.
Robert
EDIT: let me be fair and say it is more likely that Bethesda is the culprit in how they assemble and present the UI. there were some obvious shortcuts taken, especially with the HUD elements layouts that are the biggest problem with the game in tripple-wide environment.

sd_dracula wrote:I am running 5905 pixels with bezel correction.
You guys saying I should turn it off?
I just need different values for the [Interface] options I think. So that the icons are not tiny and to shift the center screen a bit to the right as the menu is in the bezel for a few pixels.

SorrowSp3LL wrote:Hi I'm new to the triple monitor set up and I'm having some difficulty getting my field of view to match up between the 3 monitors on this game. I'm running off a 980TI 5760X1080 I've gotten all the other tweaks and stuff off this site to work properly but it seems like the .ini file fDefaultWorldFOV=XX and fDefault1stPersonFOV=XX only effects my center screen and the only way i can get the center to match the sides is by setting my FoV to about 30. I was wondering if this is a known issue for widescreen gaming or if its a fallout 4 specific issue and if there is a fix?

SorrowSp3LL wrote:I'm playing on 3 Dell U2414H 23.8". Are you referring to the FoV settings when you say 90 and 90? The closest i got to to matching the displays was like i said turning the FoV down to around 30 for each of the .ini lines. That made the center display match the peripheral displays but its hard to play with such a magnified looking picture. Most games I've played had this issue a little bit but as you said play for awhile and i noticed it went away, I seem to be noticing it a lot more in fallout 4 then most games though.

Thanks for the welcome! I'm really enjoying the triple monitor set up so far, most games aren't to bad to tweak and get working properly. Totally been worth the minor tweaks so far!
