On pretty much all of my games, if I get 30+ FPS, it looks like that, but its a different story for Fallout 3. I notice when my FPS drops to around 55 in the game, I notice a large amount of stutterings and slowdown, yet the FPS never drops below 55. Is my VGA cable causing this? I'm using a DVI to VGA adapter to connect my monitor to my GPU. I could use a strait DVI cable, but I lost mine. Would a DVI cable reduce this stuttering?

I suppose it could be overheating. Fallout is a fairly new game. Do you have the latest graphics drivers and DirectX version? It's also possible it is an issue with the game itself as you say the problem is limited to this one title.

My GPU and CPU temps never go over 52C and all drivers are all most recent.

Ok, so I'm coming up with pretty much nothing now. I hate how I drop to 50 FPS in the dense city rubble area with SO MUCH STUTTERING. The wasteland is always 62 FPS + though. I really can't play the game like this. I don't want one section to be really fast and nice and the other to be painfully stuttery. Hopefully the problem will be fixed, until then I'm not playing this D:
