Tried to get into a few years ago but on my back then RX 580 the game would run like absolute trash, dipping down below 20 FPS even around the starting town. I know Gamebryo sucks on more modern hardware but that was even worse than newer titles (Yes, those are technically "Creation Engine" at this point but that still is an evolution of Gamebryo).

Don't know if you're interested anymore but there are a ton of mods out there that fix the stability issues, including a partial engine rewrite last year.

Does it affect mod compatibilities? I have a better gpu now too which might give some additional room as well but I'm not sure if I'm motivated enough to try at the moment.

I haven't played since it released, but Stewie is basically a god of New Vegas modding and I doubt it would cause any issues.

Your GPU might or might not make a difference, most of the issues with performance are poor optimization and engine-level issues (that Stewie seem to have addressed). There are several more stability mods out there like Tick Fix and Heap Replacer that help, plus the 4GB patch for the executable of course.

The Viva New Vegas modding guide is a good place to look for more info, even if all you do is stick to the performance improvement stuff.
