LOW FPS - GTX 660 Ti I5 2500K ~13 fps in towns

[Namow]

Well I wish I had that, I have been running between 3 to max of 11 FPS. Takes about 5 minutes for things to load, and then I get kicked when zoning. I had no problem in beta playing at all. Now on top of my wonderful FPS, I am getting C++ errors all the time and locking the game up. I love FF, but my patience is wearing thin.

My performance has decreased over the last week or so? seems like since the major patch last week. I was running this on Desktop (high) and it was fine, then I was using my laptop all week (7970m) and when I came back to the desktop today I noticed it no longer runs decently....I get choppy low fps :S

I know there is a lot going on but they need to look at some optimization options for this game, it runs like a bad PC port right now for a lot of people.

Today I installed my old GPU card.

And... I have more fps than in a new one.

To remind - new card is a Asus GTX 660 TI TOP ver.

Old card is a ATI Radeon HD 6850

And with an old card I have something like ~40 fps in places where new one have ~15... something is clearly not right (I deleted drivers etc.)

Just to keep this thread bumped, I have been having really bad FPS drop issues since the last patch. In beta and pre-release they would slow in cities which is expected in any high congestion area, but I am dropping to 10 or less in many cases in cities, FATEs, and sanctuaries. I understand some people are having no issues, but clearly this is an optimization issues that needs to be looked at when people with high end components are experiencing this.

I get constant FPS drops, No particle effects but my older much outdated pc has them, and cutscenes where i press a button to advance are so broken up its not even worth watching. Those things combined with the server trouble and now not advancing story quest because of 1+ dps queues is making this game out to be hassle.

Also i can run most games on ultra or high. But not this game

Currently playing a new game until SE can fix this. I've never had a game frustrate me to a point where I have no motivation to play it. I'm disappointing that so many people have really good rigs but poor performance and SE haven't said a word. Before launch I defended this game against those that were bashing it but I'm afraid my patience has near ran out. So my game time for buying the game will be lost and all because the game just doesn't work properly, even on good hardware.

No one seems to realize that just because your computer can run other games fine doesn't mean the issue isn't your computer. It just means your computer didn't know it had issues until this game showed them to it. Its like an alcoholic that just got ambushed with an intervention.

OP: It's your CPU. What cooler are you using? Have you OC it? If not have you tried OC it? Have you tried turning off player names unless in combat? Also turning shadows down to normal and only display shadows for yourself? All this helps and doesn't take much from the quality of the game. I have more fixes if none of this helps. I too had this problem and have since gotten my FPS in town to a stable 55+ in very highly populated areas. AND im running an i5-2500k not OC with a factory Cooler! (New ones in the mail) PM me if you want further help, I can't deal with the whiners on the forums. I think most just need to play on PS3 with a keyboard and mouse, that'd save them the pc butt hurt. lol

See ya, Wont get fixed cause it's not their issue. Contact your GPU provider. Or go read more about gaming on a PC. I run perfectly fine, along with hundreds of thousands of other players. Blaming the dev is ignorance to knowledge when only a portion of players are having issues. A small portion compared to the numbers that don't have issues. Gotta know PCs to play PCs. Maybe you should try PS3 with a keyboard and mouse. If you notice the only mass error was the 3102 and 9999 error, and they're fixed. The rest of these errors are few and far between and very random. What needs to happen is the GPU manufacturers need to reconignise this game and release stable driver supporting it. This game is not recommended nor recognized by either ATI or Nvidia yet.

" gotta know PC's to play PC's " lmao really? wow your are a snowflake aren't you. Have you not followed the numerous threads of people with high end systems SLI/single card it doesn't matter. I built my PC from the ground up, I know every part I put into it and how it should perform.

If you look, Splintercell blacklist is listed as "not recommended" yet I destroy that running over 150 FPS with all out gun fights online. Maybe you should learn to know people if you're so quick to assume and judge them. While I know FF is CPU intensive in Cities and such, none of my cores actually peak over 70% ( only 2 actually reach 70% briefly ) and my GTX 670 PE OC is more than enough for this game, and capable of running all current games on the market.

And a quick FYI, the problem I have is panning the camera forces the FPS to nose dive from 90+ to 25+ which IS their issue.
