Wow even the Ps3 is seeing FPS drop? A lot of us on PC are having problems.
My inkling is that the DA engine is not optimized. I.e. any system that isn't like the PS4/XOne/state of the art PC won't be able to run the game seemlessly.
The PC doesn't have to be state-of-the-art. I played the game on a system with a mid-range graphics card (Radeon R9 270X) and an outdated processor (Phenom II x4 965BE) and it ran fine on high settings. By fine I mean framerates were usually closer to 60 than 30 at 1920x1080, and after over a hundred hours of playtime, I only had two crashes.
The problem with the PC version at the moment is that there are issues on Nvidia cards and in the DirectX API. The game runs much more stable on a system with AMD and Mantle. The current-gen consoles (PS4 and Xbox One) both happen to have AMD graphics as well, so that may be a factor here.
From my experiences, Frostbite 3 is a very smooth engine considering the quality output. But as I said, I have a Mantle compatible GPU.
