Download latest driver and then install that

Try again

I ran around in town at 100+ fps at 4086x1200 without issue... Including fates..

Not that I doubt you,but you must be running with the lowest settings possible since there are people out there with really high end rigs with the exact same issue.

check the screen shot thread... Posted me running around .. Its defiantly not the lowest settings :P

here ill link one here

im not discounting he has a problem or makeing lite of it... Just sometimes it could be a driver issue especally upgrading a driver on top of a driver or something else...

it also prob helps im running a system that would outclass this game for a few years.. Dont take that as bragging.. I understand he has a high end system tho.

Meh, I don't really notice anything. I benchmarked the game with an average of 94 FPS on max settings.

Actually playing the game I average 60...while never dropping below 30 in cities or heavily populated areas.

Seems to run buttery smooth for me.

Enable "Disable rendering of objects when not visible"
so you no longer waste your CPU to render far away object, it only display when your camera is in range

But that doesn't explain how I have a similar issue. I built my rig from scratch, everything new including the HDD so everything was a fresh install. Yet as someone else pointed out,when I pan the camera the FPS nose dives because the game forces your rig to render things that are miles away.Take a look at my screenshots on the previous pages.

i5-4570 @3.2
GTX 670 PE OC'd
8GB elite RAM 1600
barracuda 7200 1TB HDD

Benchmark gave me the average FPS at 103, lowest 80 highest 150+. While it doesn't accurately determine how the game will run in-game it certainly shouldn't be as bad as it is.

You might want to try installing the game to a SSD

SSD's don't improve FPS as far as I know, just better loading times and such.

*sighs*

I have a feeling that people do not read the topic.

For example, I have it on the SSD. And still I have something like 12 fps in certain areas :( That is, for sure, not normal.

There is a custom installation of Nvidia drivers, that first remove old ones and install new... and this still not helps.

Wonder if Devs will answer in this topic.

Peaking at '100+ fps' means nothing. I peak at 280+ in some positions.

We're talking about maintaining minimum frame rates and not having intermittent performance degradation for simply panning the camera ever so slightly. It's clearly a bug and not a driver issue since it affects Nvidia and Radeon owners using different driver versions.
There's plenty of people playing right now that don't even notice it being abnormal because it happens when they are in the vicinity of a congested area. Logically they assume it's just normal performance loss - as indicated by the generic responses in this thread along the lines of 'I get 60fps most places and drops to around 30 in city areas.'

However, the issue with final fantasy is that even without lots of people, just panning the camera results in violent fps drops and with no real reason. At the start it seemed like the panning fps drops was because the character/details were being loaded but in fact it happen each time you pan the camera even standing on the same spot. I would guess that the details/characters would only need at least one first time to cache and be loaded however, each time you look to the same spot multiple times the drops occur.

The weird thing is that the drops do not only happen in cities or around multiple players but it's consistent throughout the game. I can even do some FATES that do not have fps drops.

I believe there is something wrong going on with the game or gpu drivers at the moment.

My Specs:

Asrock Extreme 4 Z77
Core i5 3570k 4.2Ghz
Evga GTX 680
8 GB DDR3 Corsair CL8 1600 Mhz

It would be lovely to ear something from the developers regarding this.

I have a similar build but I don't think I've ever experienced frame rate issues. My specs are:

ASUS P8Z77-V Pro
Core i5 3570k 4.3Ghz
ASUS GtX 660 Ti 2GB
8GB DDR3 G.SKILL Ripjawz 1600Mhz (7-8-8-24)

I generally receive between 60-80 FPS in the open world/instances and 45-60 FPS in town. I also have the frame limiter turned off.
