Fallout New Vegas - Consistently low FPS, when good, capped at 30

OK, I am having this extremely annoying problem that is bugging me beyond belief.

I recently did an upgrade of my system, I now have an AMD 64 FX Bulldozer Eight Core 3.3Ghz and 16GB DDR3 Corsair Ram, an admittedly obsolete video card in the form of a Radeon ATI HD 3870 512MB and a Seagate Barracuda 7200 500GB hard drive. I am on Windows Vista 64 SP2, using DirectX 11. All my drivers are up to date.

Now, the problem is this. In my game, with no mods or plugins loaded, I get very low FPS consistently, in the 20-30 range, and with NPC's or a lot of action, it falls to 5-12 FPS and is basically unplayable outside of VATS. Now, I know my video card is bad by today's standards, but it is well above the 'minimum' recommended by the game, and well beyond the 'recommended' one too. I also thought all that processing power and ram would make things better, but it hasn't.

I also noticed on good days, the FPS is capped at 30, and I don't know why. In the Fallout Default Ini file, iFPS clamp is set to zero, so I don't see why it does not go above 30.

I've tried everything. I've tried the ds9 dll, I've tried the 4gb executable (which I don't think worked because whenever I loaded the game with it it made no difference and in addition to that, said it could not find NVSE) and I've tried messing around with the ini files, doing 'tweaks' but it persists - 5-12 FPS near NPC's and action, 30 maximum capped on 'good' times.

This is irritating me because, I see people running FNV with similar machines at 60+ FPS. I see videos on youtube of how smooth it could be, and it almost makes me cry

I would very much appreciate any help anyone could offer.

Anyway, here is my DxDiag file:

THanks casualcolors, that would have actually been a really good solution, but I forgot to mention I had already installed and deleted all the relevant 'stutter remover dll's' from my installations.

I am aware my GPU needs upgrading quite badly, but I thought it could still handle this game, which is quite old. To put things into perspective, I am getting the same FPS on FNV on medium that I am getting on The Witcher 2 on ultra high.

So something is definitely strange here. I am wondering perhaps if my GPU is overheating or if it's a power problem? My PC does occasionally turn off randomly (to the point I have to switch off the power, unplug the cable, then plug it back in and switch it back again) and if I change the onboard power settings to 'performance' over 'energy saver' my monitor goes all fuzzy and I hear the fan going quicker.

So many possibilities...

Have you found a fix? I'm on one of the FX Chips paired with a 7770, and I have huge inconsistencies throughout gameplay. My FPS on ultra settings spike around 30-75. I've tried a couple of mods that you've mentioned above (NVSE, FNV-4GB loader, NVSR, d3d9.dll ATI 'fix'), with no real impact. The ini suggestions on tweakguides were also ineffective.

One thing I did notice, is that my CPU is never doing much work. The fan revs for example, are low, compared to something like Battlefield 3. However, I have little data to back this up with - though a little birdy told me that New Vegas doesn't utilize 3 cores and beyond particularly well.
