Description

Describe the bug

  • Once configured, Fallout New Vegas has abnormally poor performance compared to other games. On an i7 12700k and RTX 4090, I'm only getting 17-18 FPS. The DXVK hud reports 100% GPU utilization, but in actuality it's closer to 30%.

  4. Install Mod Organizer, set it up for Fallout New Vegas, then install the mesh patch (this isn't strictly necessary)
  5. Install RTX Remix, then launch the game from nvse_loader

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Load the game
  2. Observe poor performance

Research direction

Start by reproducing the FPS regression with Fallout New Vegas launched through nvse_loader, then compare the attached d3d9.log, FalloutNV_d3d9.log, NvRemixBridge.log, and rtx.zip data. Check whether repeated restarts and alt-tab change the result; done means the cause is identified and performance is consistently restored without the reported alt-tab regressions.
