Terrible FPS
In both cutscenes and gameplay my game has awful fps. It doesn't matter if the graphics are on high or low it's just terrible. It's making me really mad because I just got this computer in August and...

I just finished the tutorial with everything set as high as possible except for MSAA, which was turned off. I was getting around 30 - 40 FPS in combat and anywhere from 10 - 35 FPS during cutscenes (I have -GameTime.MaxSimFps 60 -GameTime.ForceSimRate 60+ set).
I don't mind the 40 FPS in combat, but the cutscene FPS is pretty unbearable. The lowest parts seemed to be during cutscenes invloving fire and/or fade rifts. However, as soon as I excited the cut scene, my FPS climed back up.
Turning any of the settings that don't require a restart from Ultra to Low barely affected things, and I didn't have the patience to keep relogging to try others. I did set it to automatic, but that did nothing to help. Going down to 1080p did nothing, either. Fullscreen, windowed, fullscreen windowed, no change. Vsync, no change on or off.
Now that I'm done with the tutorial, I'm in an area where there are about 60 NPCs all in a row (literally the first thing you see after the tutorial). My FPS drops to about 23 here, though this might not be the best place to judge performance. Where should I go to start trying to mess with settings for a good "average" load?
So it appears that EA thinks that this is an issue with NVIDIA drivers. But from my experience with you all, I really doubt that. Since alot of you have different cards.
Lets hope that this new patch is universal to all drivers and we can all play it then
Yeah I saw that tweet too. It makes me wonder if they know what's wrong with just the NVIDIA drivers and not the others. Or they have absolutly no idea what is causing the low FPS.
