Key points
- Bethesda stated that the game could be played at over 60 FPS but that is not the case, as it causes gameplay mechanics such as Lockpicking to speed up, resulting in unplayable gameplay.[1]

To unlock frame rate open Fallout4Pref.ini (simply search windows for it, but it is in your documents). Note making a backup isn't neccessary as if you simply delete Fallout4Pref.ini the game will auto generate new one next time it is opened.
Search for the line iPresentInterval=1, and change it to iPresentInterval=0" --- Note this can have adverse effects on gameplay, speeding it up in certain points and making it unplayable. To mitigate that, get dxtory or any other software like RTSS that can hook into and limit framerates. Limit to 60 and Bob's your uncle. This can also solve horrible screen tearing.
