Getting 15-20 LOW FPS for DA:I
Hello I'm getting steady 15-20 FPS and have no idea as to why. Graphics setting are automatically MED-HIGH but I get the low FPS even at Low settings. Help! CPU: Intel® Core™ i5 CPU 750 @ 2.67GHz ...

Okay, so I'd have to upgrade my CPU then? How much would that run me approximately? (Like $100-200 range?)
And despite it being on the low end, it is still .7 GHz above the minimum requirements for the game so should I not be running it fine?

You would be looking at a minimum $300+ upgrade to meet reccomended specs. An I5 would run around $200+ and then a motherboard will run $120~200 for a good one.
I would give EA time to fix this monstrosity before upgrading anything. Your GPU will still be low end, but right at reccomended specs.
I am running a much higher end spec'ed machine and I am still struggling to get 60 fps on a single monitor with 2 highly over clocked GTX 780 classifieds.

If oyu dont mind, what FPS do you run with one GTX 780. I've been having massive FPS drops but only when I look into highly NPC populated areas... If i look at the ground or at a wall I get up to 60+ but as soon as i look into a town I dropp to like 12...

I'm having EXACTLY the same problem as you, I'm surprised after being on the forums for weeks that you're the first person to point it out other than me.
Well I have to admit this is extremely depressing. I've held off playing this game for almost a month now specifically due to poor performance on my machine that meets the recommended requirements, NOT just the minimum! Highly populated areas and more complex environments bring the game to a crawl even on low settings, and in fact graphics settings seem to have no effect on FPS at all. Has there been no official response or explanation? I'm also one of the people who had to turn off one of their cores to get past the main menu, but the most recent patch has fixed that at the very least. What is the official stand of Bioware on fixing the issue? Are this many people simply being considered anomalies or is there a response I haven't seen? If anyone could inform me that'd be great. I know it's too late for a refund, but I would at least like to know that this game will eventually be playable.
Okay just got done with NVIDIA support after a lovely 4 hours of troubleshooting.
Basically they (3 NVIDIA technitians) all agree that my specs can run the game optimally however, the game developer has not optimized it for certain NVIDIA cards including the 750 Ti as well as others. They have reported the issue to Bioware/EA.
In order to get this rectified, they recommended that I contact Bioware and alert them to the issue. I hope others who see this will do the same, the more pressure, the more they know that this is not an isolated issue.

I know, the game is really great, but it's performance makes it so disappointing.
