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...

Here's my (old) rig:AMD Phenom II x4 920 2.8/3.0ghz, 8gb ram, Gainward GTX470. With this configuration, I'm supposed to play decently on medium, and I actually do: I monitored my frames and I get, normally, from 35 to 45/50 fps with all on medium (depending on how much crowd there is around). The problem is that every 5-10 seconds, I get a huge fps drop. Most of the time it drops to 20 fps, only few times it's gone less than this "cap". Originally, I was very disappointed, because I thought that my computer simply couldn't handle the game (even though it's above in the requirements), at least on medium settings, so I decided to get the settings to low. Result? Nothing changed, the stutter hasn't disappeared. So I decided to put EVERYTHING on low (and with everything I mean literally everything). Result? Again, nothing changed! Every 5-10 seconds the frames (that, with everything on low/verylow go way above the 60) drop to 20-18 fps. I hope there is something to try to make this game run, if not perfectly, at least decently, and not just wait for a patch. Any idea?
@Glegionar - had exactly the same issue.. slutters every few seconds.. Upgrading to Win 8.1 helped me fix that issue, now the game runs smoothly.. I dont know if there is any other method how to fix the game, I have tried litereally every possible tip I could find, like reinstalling drivers etc.. Try to go to the program files/Origin Games/Dragon Age Inquisition/_Installer/vc/vc 2012 and install that, heard that for some people, that fixed the sluttering.. If that doesnt help, your last option will propably be upgrading to win 8.1 just like I did, or wait for the patch which will fix the game for win7. Good Luck.
Interesting. I have a somewhat older system but it seems to be doing just fine (even if I sometimes want a beefier headset that would block out the fan noise).
i7 @2.8GHz, 12 Gigs RAM, DX11, Win 7 Home Premium 64 Sp1 running an single GEForce GTX 680 at 1920 X1080 32-bit (native mode for my 60 Hz display)
Game runs smooth as silk for me with only a minor hiccup ocasionally, although on my (generally high) settings the graphics push my card as hard as I ever want to see it work, and my fans get loud and pretty fierce keeping it all from flying into hot shrapnel. My cpu is water cooled.
I don't run other apps while running the game except (almost unavoidably) origin. On my second monitor I do notice that my little minapps freeze, but those seem inconsequential.

Thank you for the answer. The problem is that...I'm already on win8.1 :/ I also decided to install the updates left, but nothing changed. :/@Glegionar - Hmm, well, try running the game in Win7 compatibility mode, and run it as admin, heard that for some people, that fixed the sluttering.. Also, I have posted this guide, where I have written all kind of a tips I was able to gather, check it out, maybe something from there will help you 🙂 http://answers.ea.com/t5/Dragon-Age-Inquisition/Perfomance-Guide/m-p/4072447#M21333
