Sorry if this isn't the place for gaming help but I'm new to asking for help on the internet. I recently purchased Fallout 4 for my Alienware Alpha i3 with 12gb of RAM. I loaded several mods and use the fallout 4 script extender launcher. Yesterday I overclocked my gpu and memory with MSI afterburner. I used +135 mem and +495 gpu which were recommended on multiple youtube videos for the alpha. I also capped the frame rate at 30 for fallout with the rivatuner server that came with afterburner. The game ran smooth with an occasional dip to 29 or 28 fps but smooth. I reset everything back to normal (no overclock or cap) and left my pc on overnight. The next morning, I tried loaded up the game and was experiencing serious frame drop with the overclock and cap, average was 13-14 frames where I had gotten 30 yesterday. I reset everything and tried again and still got 13 fps. It's not the launcher as far as I can tell as i used the stock launcher and got the same effects. I was wondering if it switched to the integrated gpu instead of the 860m dedicated. I noticed on other games that I could previously play at 1080p had a maximum of 1600 x1200. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
