I have a GTX 980m, believe me it is more powerful than your average desktop GPU (like 960). This has nothing to do with the power of graphics card, it has everything to do with 3K and 4K resolutions. There is still not enough libraries with these resolutions. There is an issue with FrostBite with higher resolution, BF definitely got rid of it because DICE has the expertise to figure it out (yes earlier on similar things happened, many other engines also have problem scaling up, and for some reason you cannot turn off scaling, I bet iGPU that is driving the display is the problem, even when dGPU is running the application, it needs to route the frame to the iGPU first I believe), on the other hand DA, sadly seems like they will never figure it out.. What I am sad is that I finished the game on a 765m, with average graphics, and was so looking forward to playing it again on max settings, I guess in another life... ☹️
Plain stupid, right? Mah friend owns exactly same laptop like me(we bought same ones together, asus with 850m and gpuboost technology). He happens to love shooters tho. Crysis 3, Metro, all of these things he runs on high- some ultra with solid 50-60 fps. I myself have solid 60 fps in WoW in absolute max settings. And now lets check DAI - barely 30 fps at low-medium, and I get like 40 when i put FULL LOW - even with that * resolution scaling option which makes your image look like 90x mario.
