So I started playing Fallout New Vegas on PC a few weeks ago, and everything was good. I was getting a constant 60 frames per second on Ultra graphics settings. The other day I load it up and I'm only getting around 30 frames per second, sometimes even in the low twenties. This is unacceptable for me and completely contradicts the reason I switched to PC gaming, which was mostly for better fps in games. I did a lot of research and to no avail I eventually chalked it up to New Vegas acting weird and having a crap engine or something. So I buy Fallout 4 on release day today and the same thing is happening. I'm barely getting over 30 frames per second. The weirdest part of all of this is that the frame rate stays the same no matter what graphics quality I have it set to. On New Vegas it was the same frame rate on low settings as it was on ultra, and now the same with Fallout 4. I have a GTX 970, Intel i5-4460 cpu and 8gb of RAM. I really want to fix this issue so I can enjoy playing Fallout on PC. Thanks for any feedback, I greatly appreciate it.

So you need 30 FPS but you want 60 FPS? I don't thi---- (pun from an AMD ad 
)
Anyways, I think the FPS limit was set to 30 on your graphics card or V-sync is on and your monitor is 30Hz or whatever. V-sync has always been glitchy for me. check most likely in Nvidia's control panel for settings but it could be other things too.
Another thing it could be is a driver error, try reinstalling if the first was not it. In the end, you may need a full system reinstall.
Sounds like your on Steam, check steams settings and see if there is something you can mess with as it's possible its conflicting.
Hardware wise, it could be your CPU or GPU, could be anthing, but for now, that is all I could think of in the current situation.

It's not an issue with vsync in game or in Nvidia CP. I just loaded up Far Cry 3 to test it also and where before I would get a solid 60fps on Ultra I was getting around 15. Somethings up. I'm going to to try and remove and reinstall drivers to see if that solves anything... I've only been gaming on PC for a few months now so all this is still a little new to me lol.
