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 am playing on a damn GTX 980 SLI + i5 3570K at 4.2ghz playing at 1440p ULTRA, my FPS bounces between 40-80 FPS occasionally, and there is nothing extremely extensive in this game to drop my FPS to 40 while just wondering in hinterlands (out of combat)!!!
The problem is :
I tried LOWERing setting, from ultra to high, and resolution to 1080p to always get above 60FPS, it doesnt work
NO MATTER HOW I PLAY WITH SETTINGS FPS DOES NOT GET EFFECTED BY IT, 1440p and 1080p has almost same FPS, changing settings doesnt work (at most 1-10 FPS from ultra to medium), besides FPS DROPS don't make sense at all, it happens while staring at a door sometimes. There is something clearly wrong with game.
And this computer plays BF4 at 100-144 FPS on 1440p everything on ULTRA, as far as I know they are same engines, and some of BF4 levels are as much as detailed (maybe more with all explosions and reflections) then DA:I

I've got a sandybrige extreme i7 3820 paired with an AMD R9 295x2 and I get the same crazy FPS drops when there are loads of NPCs in the area (haven when you first get there, hinterlands crossroads etc)... I will bet that if you put the frametime graph overlay on from the command console you will see the cause of the drops is actually from CPU spikes, so changing the graphical settings doesn't do anything. Bioware need to look at the engine to further optimize CPU usage, you have a 4 core cpu like me (although I have hyperthreading) so I think it's more than co-incidence we are seeing the same thing.
And I hear you about being out of combat with the drops - I mean half the NPCs are just standing there as window dressing NOT DOING ANYTHING!!!!
Maybe ill load BF4 again to check my FPS
