I recently bought fallout 4 and noticed my fps dropped significantly when in city areas, even sanctuary hills, my fps drop as low as 30 fps, when in the forest they are around 120fps.

Specs:
I5 6600k no OC
cryorig H7 cpu cooler, temps never go above 60c
Asus gtx 1070 strix
16 gb 2400mhz ram
EVGA 650watt 80+ g2

This has been bugging the crap out of me too, even in games where the GPU isn't that significant my i7 7700k will run around 40% and my GTX 1060 never goes over 45%. I have 16GB DDR4 2400 ram so that isn't my issue either. I don't know how to make games use more of the available power but it sure is disappointing.
