How to Fix Mouse Lag in Fallout 4:

Go to C:\Users\yourusername\Documents\My Games\Fallout4. Open Fallout4Prefs.ini and then change the following parameters:

to
iPresentInterval=0

Also change:

Fallout 4 Mouse Lag fix for Nvidia Graphics Card users:

Go to your Desktop, right click the Nvidia Logo at the lower Right of your Desktop. Choose "System Settings" or whatever it is in your Language. Now go to "3D Settings" and Add Fallout.exe to your Programs.

  • There change "Triple Buffer" to ON.
  • "Max frames render ahead" to 1.
  • And finally "V-Sync" on.

With the above Settings Fallout 4 runs at Max Settings and FXAA with 80 - 120FPS (120HZ Display) and no Mouselag / Tearing etc (already tested by me). I am running Fallout 4 with a NVIDIA 980 GTX.
