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...

Windows 8.1 did the trick - following this thread due to similar problems. Running a moderate system
GeForce GT 640, Intel Core i3-2120 CPU @3.30 ghz, 4 GB ram
With Widows 8.1, Razer Cortex (disables systems for game boost) and medium graphics the game loads quicker and is more stable then when I was using windows 7. Using 7 I had to play with a book in hand for something to read during the loading time (4-5 minutes) between maps and it would always crash upon exit (hang up at menu screen). Windows 8.1 made the game playable. In the process of upgrading an older computer with an 8 core processor and a gtx 970 so I can play the game correctly.
Finished my upgrade to an 8 core processor and a gtx 970 - OMG the difference is amazing. I feel like I am playing dragon age but with better graphics and a cool story.
OMFG - Yes, I can confirm that too, I installed Windows 8.1 Pro for the first time now (bought it months ago very cheap) and I gained ~20 fps in towns and... holy **bleep** 60 or more fps in open world with my GTX690. But still, I get slowdowns now from 150fps to 30 randomly. Any tips?
Edit:
Just tested how far I can go:
All Ultra now, 4xMSAA -> Stable 60 fps outside of towns, 50 fps in redcliff.
Edit 2:
Probably fixed my slowdowns, related to Ultra textures, switched now to high textures (2GB VRAM only...)
