What settings are you using? Are you going by the Geforce experience? What kind of hard drive do you have? Is it a 7200RPM drive or 5400RPM that could make it choppy at times. What are the rest of your system specs?

It is the game engine itself. The actual speed of the game is tied to the frame rate. I haven't played with it lower but faster than 60 FPS weird things happen characters move faster, things fall faster, amoung other things. I'm guessing it works on reverse as well and when you slow the FPS down you slow the game down causing other problems.

I have a 780 which is the recommended card for fallout 4 it would be equivalent to a 970 in the 900 series cards so you should be just under the recommended level. I would try the geforce experience settings first see how it plays and then try to bump a setting up here and there to see if it makes your FPS drop to low. But it seems that the 960 just can't handle everything set to max. I even dropped a few things down just because I was dipping in spots. Shadow distance was the first thing I lowered. you could try lowering that first and see if it's bettter. It just seems to me that your settings are to high. If you're running any graphical mods then your setting are definitely to high.

This is what seems to be happening, what a shame

I don't understand how other users are able to play the game with an FPS of 40 but, I cannot?

I'm not sure if you have ever solved the problem by now but this for anyone who still has issues and finds this forum.
Your stuttering is caused by the Cpu overheating. You can confirm this easily by buying artic silver 5 thermal paste (it's cheap) then take off the intels stock fan and heat sink wipe off the old thermal paste that's on your cpu and reapply new thermal paste in the x shape and refit the fan and heat sink on the Cpu. Now try your games again and you'll find that there's no more stuttering. I highly recommend changing that cpu cooler as well to some thing like this one here https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005HIRDUA/ref=ox_sc_act_image_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
