    FPS fix

    ok so before we get into the whole thing of update your drivers, turn down your settings, ect. ect.. I have already done both, I even double checked via the manufacturers website.

    The video card is an AMD Radeon R5 230 series 2GB ram.

    In the log in, before you get to select your toon, i get around 30-33 FPS, however once in the game, it drops to around 12-16 FPS.

    Are there any ideas as to why, and is there a fix (other then spending a couple hundred on a new card again.)

    My s/o has the same issue on an AMD 7950 card. It JUST started less then a week ago, and it will be fine for awhile and then take a shit and fall to 0-15 FPS.

    There is no crash or anything, and drivers etc... are updated. Settings dont seem to have any effect here.

    ^This and because your video card is not meant for gaming. The fact you got 30-33 FPS in this game at all is really good.

    This is not to say that your card is garbage, or that you are experiencing what the first poster below your OP is experiencing with their 7950. Your card is simply entry level and is not made for gaming.

    Radeon R5 230 is a direct re-brand of Radeon HD 6450 v3.
    Gaming benchmarks put its performance around of a GeForce GT 420."

    Depends what kind of performance you are looking for.
    I.E. 60 FPS @ Max 1080p resolution.

    Also depends on what the rest of your system is. Like I wouldn't recommend a GTX 980 if you are running a Core2Duo/Phenom II Dual Core
