How to Disable VSync in Fallout 76
Just play the game as it is, trust me. Disabling VSync might give you a few extra FPS but at the cost of potential screen tearing. Fallout 76's world is too beautiful to ruin with graphical glitches!

Unfortunately, there isn't a direct in-game option to disable VSync in Fallout 76. But, if you're really looking to tweak it, you can dive into the game files. Specifically, you'll want to navigate to the Fallout76Prefs.ini file located in your Documents\My Games\Fallout 76 folder. Once there, you can add the line iPresentInterval=0 under the [Display] section. Just make sure to backup your ini file before making any changes!
Here's a hot take - why bother? The game's optimization does a pretty decent job. Plus, messing with VSync settings outside the game might void your chance for support if something goes awry.
I actually tried tweaking VSync settings through the NVIDIA Control Panel instead of the game files. Just go to Manage 3D settings, add Fallout 76, and set Vertical sync to 'Off'. Worked for me without touching any game files!
