Anyone actually run this game at 60fps everywhere at 1080
i got a 2700k @ 4.8ghz and a 780 sc and in towns it dips to 30-40fps
would a 4770k be beneficial?

Anyone actually run this game at 60fps everywhere at 1080

I get 60 fps on 2 x 760 on 3770K with 16 GB memory and SSD. lowest I have had is 57 fps once in a while.
how much ram do you have?
I doubt a 4770k would have much improvement. Also 6 core CPU will not change much. I have i7 3930k @ 4.7 Ghz with GTX Titan. The FPS drops below 60 in very crowded areas in the town zoomed out then facing certain directions.
I have extensive computer hardware knowledge, My advice, that 4770k might show some improvment but not 30fps improvment. Honestly i think it's the game engine it self. I have a i5 2500k and two 670's in sli. I get the same exact frames as you, 60+ outside of towns, in populated towns i get roughly 40fps. They probably are still working on some optimization(i hope)
One thing i've noticed is the game will draw(load) characters that are beyond walls etc, Its one reason why camera angle can effect your fps dramatically in towns. For example, In revenats toll, if you're in the building you will still notice the game is drawing all the characters etc even when behind closed doors.
So to answer your question no, a 4770k would not be that beneficial. Save your money.
Ram and CPU have very little to do with your FPS dropping I would say.
Its would be more connection speed and GPU.
85-100 fps constantly on a 780 gtx and a 2560x1440 res display. in fates and highly populated town can drop to 60. odin and behemoth fates are ~30-40 fps >__<
Yeah, don't make any purchases quite yet. Give them some time to optimize the engine.
I have a single 760 and I get 60+ FPS everywhere except in town when I'm in the market areas (100+ people crafting kills me) where it will drop as low as 15. Every once in a while it will randomly dip below 30 while in open world or instanced, but rarely stays that way more than a few seconds.
8GB RAM is enough, I don't think I ever saw the client use more than 2GB. About the only game I know that actually uses >2GB is TERA. I don't think the 2700 CPU would limit your GPU either. It's just the weird engine. Try lowering the SSAO level, middle setting doesn't look that different to high, but gives me about 15fps on my old GPU
Connection speed has nothing to do with graphic lag.
(And only little with connection lag, unless you're on dial up)
And their GPU is a 780GTX, it should be potent enough for anything.
I do, I actually limit my fps to 60 to keep my system running cooler (I need switch to water cooling).
I've got the same processor i7-2700k, 2x gtx560Ti, 8GB RAM. If I let my cards run full blast I'm usually getting mid 80s, low 60s.
Look at your system during these times guys jeez I don't have nearly the CPU you guys do but mine is almost never over 50% load.
And connection speed is not always client side. The server can only push so much data to so many people at the same time.
Oh I know, that's also the other reason I keep it capped at 60 (no need to put undue stress on components I don't wanna fork out $$$ to replace quite yet).. Though I would love me one of them 120Hz monitors... Though then I'd just run in 3D and still be capped at 60.. haha.
I'm sorry... but I don't think you know what you're talking about if you assume that connection speed affect FPS more than CPU in a CPU/GPU intensive game such as this.
Haha I wish I have a 120hz monitor too ~ but I cannot afford it atm. :X
My direct answer to the OP is: No, a 4770k will not keep your system from falling to 30-40 fps with large amounts of people around on screen.
Only a system specifically designed to "overpower" the shortcomings of the game's engine would have any hope of maintaining a solid 60fps 100% of the time.
I have an i7 3770k @ 4.5ghz paired with a GTX 670 4GB and 24gb of 1600 RAM. The best I can get is 60 outside of town, and 40-50fps in extremely crowded areas, inside popular fates it's even worse at about 30-35fps.
Swapping out the GTX 670 for 2 GTX 570s in SLI I can get a constant 50-55fps in extremely crowded areas and 35-45fps inside popular fates.
4770k, 32gb ram and a Titan. 60fps everywhere @ 1920x1200. The titan wouldn't give you any more performance at all over a 780. Basically the same card with more vram, which would only be useful if you're rocking 3 30" screens.
Aye doesnt so much as stutter even through behemoth or odin. Doesn't typically matter since however they designed it is poor enough that all those people don't pop up on screen anyway, so a typical big fate or odin/behemoth are showing the same amount of junk on screen anyway.
Never said upgrading to a 4770k would give you 60fps. The clock for clock increase from a 2770k is likely only around 20% give or take.
It may also help I run 2 120gb SSD's in raid0. Didn't think to mention it.
I am using 7970s in crossfire and a 2600K at 4.7Ghz and play at 6048x1200. Outside of town I rock 60+fps and same dips to 30-40 in towns and crowded fates. By comparison, by playing at a higher res I should have much higher dips than the others who play on one screen but I don't. Obviously it's a game engine thing.
Sitting at 4.4ghz. Could probably push to 4.6 but I'm kinda lazy.
edit* @kanti - Dayum I want your screen setup XD
It's just 3 Dell U2412Ms

i get 70+ everywhere.
Radeon 7950 MSI 3gb
16gb Ram
i7 2600k Sandy bridge processor think its 3.2 ghz.
Still pretty XD I've only got 1 24" for now. Not sure if I want 2 more or if I should just try to nab a dell U3011.
This thread got me curious so I decided to play around with overclocks again. I don't have the cooling to push 4.6ghz anyway :/ Prime95 small FFT puts me at 79c load. The noctua NH-D14 is a good cooler but these chips run hot. Luckily everyday gaming won't push the chip that hot so not a big deal.
I don't believe the people in this thread at all. I have an i7 3770k @ 5ghz, (2) GTX 780s SLI at 1440p and I get roughly 220fps in dungeons and open world, but in very populated towns (Quarry Mill) I've had it drop as low as 15~20fps with an average of around 30. With SLI on the game has a very bad microstutter (Goes fast to slow motion) so it is better to just disable it.
I score 23000 on the benchmark in 1080p. I'm a benchmarker and understand how to fine tune my computer. It is my personal opinion that anyone stating they get 60fps in every situation is bluffing. It's an issue with an unoptimized engine.
