Question about FPS

[LostMyPixels]

Just more of a question than a complaint or real problem.
I'm playing the game on a Lenovo Ideapad Y510P:
i7 4700MQ CPU @ 2.4Ghz
8 GB of RAM
and Dual GeForce 750Ms

In menus, character selection, and in rooms or local server areas I get a solid 60 FPS It seems any time I enter a populated server area I get somewhere between 38 - 50 FPS. I'm just wondering if this is normal? The game never lags or has any actual graphical issues everything stays smooth. Just seems like I should be getting a solid 60 with Sli. Anyone with the same system getting anything different?

-FPS dips in crowded areas are basically CPU chokes (everyone gets the dips, not just you). You won't have an issue in dungeons and the overworld (where it matters) minus in FATE's. The worst areas being FATE's and market boards.


Sadly there's not much that you can do about your performance being on a laptop. On a desktop, overclocking would be the only suggestion we'd be able to give here. Perhaps it'll improve down the road whenever a DX11 renderer is released for the game.

Hey thanks! Yeah I was kinda figuring it was just something about the server population but I wasn't sure. I know updating to the most recent drivers helped a little. I was only getting between 30 - 40 with older 320.0 beta drivers.
