Been having a devil of a time getting New Vegas to work (keeps crashing) on my system in a stock configuration without mods (still have some things to try, though) so I wanted to ask how well Fallout 4 does on modern systems out of the box.

Since my hardware configuration may come into play, here are the important bits:

64 GB of RAM

AMD 7900X CPU

AMD 7900XT GPU

Monitor with a refresh rate of 144 Hz

That should be no issue, the game will perform beautifully on that system.

New Vegas is a relic from the 00's and unless you're using the GOG version it's known to have many issues running on a modern OS.

In the words of Maxwell Smart ... Missed by that much ... Fallout: New Vegas was just an inch further right.  This is Fallout 4.  😉

As for stability, I play New Vegas on a fairly robust rig:

AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-Core Processor 
3.40 GHz
128 GB
Nvidia Geforce RTX3090 with a Samsung 40" 120hz UHD/HDR Television as a monitor

Arthmoor's pronouncement not withstanding, I play the Steam GOTY version of the game and I have no stability issues.  I even have a few mods (mostly of my own creation). 

First recommendation, make sure your game is actually using your graphics card and NOT the integrated graphic processor.  https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000090168/graphics.html

Perfect, thanks. :)

Yeah, running the Steam version here.

Interesting. I can't get it to run longer than an hour before it crashes. In some cases, it crashes five minutes into the game. This is all straight out of the box with the game running on max settings. Should be noted that I haven't had the chance to try capping the frame rate yet. Really wish there was a good program to do it per-application but Adrenaline only has a global setting for some reason and a lot of the third-party tools to do so have been abandoned years ago.

That definitely sounds like the old RAM issue. Is the game LAA? The other thig I can think is framerate, as so much of the game is tied to that, it could be choking itself.

Not yet, this is freshly installed. Just been too busy to look into setting up a more complex setup. I was able to play a few years back on some of my older systems (for those interested, New Vegas behaves strangely on multiple monitors :P ) so I suspect it's frame rate but I'll definitely be applying the LAA flag as well. :)
