Augmented Gear / Glowing Weapons FPS Drop

[Erkendal]

Anyone else have a problem with getting a massive FPS hit when viewing / using Augmented gear or glowing weapons? Exceptions are relic weapons and everyone else wearing the items. Only affects myself when I use / view them. FPS drops to 30, I can easily get 70+ everywhere else otherwise.

Game settings are custom [maximum with Occulsion Culling turned on and Transparent Lighting Quality at normal]

Specs are:
3440x1440p
i7 2600k @ 4.3
SLI GTX 980 Ti @ 1330
8gb ram


Seems to only be a problem with increasing the vertical pixels past 1080.

Not a huge problem.. only limits what glamour I can use. Just odd that it doesn't affect me if its' someone else using the item(s).

Just a hunch, but have you tried turning FXAA off? I get some pretty whacky scaling stuff happen with it on in 4K. Turning it off solves them immediately. Perhaps their implementation isn't so hot?

Yeah I've tried adjusting all the game settings, placing everything at lowest only brings me up to 45 FPS with the glows.

Odd. Do you ever find that above 1080 vertical, the mouse activation position stops lining up with the cursor? In 4K with FXAA on, the buttons don't highlight until I move my cursor down and to the right of the button. Turn FXAA off, and it's perfect again.

That's with either scaling method in the nvidia drivers.

[Erkendal]

Nope, mouse is lined up perfectly.
