Systems
Check to ensure that your machine meets the game’s minimum requirements and that you are not running any other programs in the background. If your system is on the lower end of the spectrum avoid setting presets to High / Very High / Ultra which will decrease your performance.
If your PC meets the Recommended Specs we encourage you to play with High settings for a more consistent 60fps experience. Only PCs that far exceed those Recommended Specs should opt for Ultra settings.

Video Card
Update Your Graphics Card Drivers To ensure you are getting the best performance out of your graphics card, you can download and install latest drivers (based on manufacturer) here:
Avoid using Alt-Tab when playing. Relaunch the game if you see performance dropping after using Alt-Tab.
Avoid having background applications running in addition to the game.
Video Settings
If you have performance issues, try lowering the resolution.
Use 1440p resolution only if you have a very high-end GPU ( GTX 1070/1080 or equivalent)
Keep the V-Sync activated, especially if you have large framerate fluctuations.
If you have framerate under 30 fps, adjust the “Adaptive Resolution” between minimum (50%) and default value (75%).
Advanced Settings
Use the “Auto” presets: this should adjust your visual settings without impacting your framerate.
If you still have performance issues with “Auto” presets:
Try deactivating the “TXAA Anti-Aliasing”
Try lowering the texture details
If you experience performance issues, you can contact Bethesda Customer Support at http://help.bethesda.net/ with your DxDiag file for further troubleshooting.
