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 it fits all the spec perfectly. If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it.

I mean, we already payed, so... why care about us anymore? Their product is out, is badly optimised, but people are still buying it. It literally makes no sense from a business perspective to patch it and waste money on it. True, patching it would not be costly, but still, those dollars could buy a EA ceo a coffee and a bagle he wouldn't have otherwise.
My ranting aside, seriously, if this turns out to be cause by the DRM than I bet, once someone pirates the game, it will turn out that the pirate version will run a lot more smoothly than our payed versions. And really, that is simply the most annoying perspective, and "screw you" from EA to their customers ever...
What does EA care if DRM only hurts or stops paying customers? We paid! >.>
Well they do have future releases, so they are invested to at least attempt to solve the problem, so that we purchase future titles.

EA and Bioware are seriuos companies.
I play Bioware games from Baldur'g gate times in all these years they always demonstrated their attention to the customer.
DAI is a strategic asset for both companies.
But for sure all the issues on PC version are a problem. QA was not so good and i think that EA forced the release (we are near Christmas time) even if well knowing these issues.
That is why they will patch and they will do enough soon, i guess.
UPDATE:
I have 2-3 posts under this topic.Just a reminder, I have a high-end PC with GTX 980 SLI and i5 3570k with 4.3ghz
As I mentioned before no matter which settings I use game was always between 40-80 FPS bouncing all over the place, lowering the DETAILS didnt help, it just stayed at same FPS range with lesser load on GPUs.
Today I installed WINDOWS 8.1 (I hate it honestly, but wanted to give it one more try) The performance difference is HUGE, I never dip below 70 FPS now everything at ULTRA at 2560x1440 resolution.
I am no windows fan boy, honestly I really hate windows 8.1 but if you are a WIN7 user and have a win 8.1 disc around just like me, give it a try. You will see the huge performance gain with almost no stutter. At least until it gets fixed on win7.
I have Windows 8.1 and i'm getting terrible performance

Thats looks better than what I get. Worse thing is that FPS is not stable.
Cut scenes are capped at 30FPS, i dont know if the following fix is mentioned so i will post it anyway:
60FPS Cut scenes: Right click Inqusition short cut, click properties.
In the Target box copy paste the following leaving a space after ": -GameTime.MaxSimFps 60 -GameTime.ForceSimRate 60+
So for example it should look like this, note this is on my C drive: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Dragon Age Inquisition\DragonAgeInquisition.exe" -GameTime.MaxSimFps 60 -GameTime.ForceSimRate 60+
This will now give you 60FPS cut scenes, far more stable than the 30fps. The only problem i seem to get during gameplay is THE HISSING WASTE, every other map is fine but that one stutters and jerks a little, i am running everything maxed out...
Win 8.1 64bit, 2 x Titans SLI, i7 4770k @ 4.06ghz. 32 gig of ram....
Try this if you have stuttering and bad FPS, it fixed the stuttering and improved FPS a lot for me.
Go to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Dragon Age Inquisition\__Installer\VC
And in the VC folder there is another folder called vc2012 in there is a installer for VCredist 2012 run it and install.
Then in the graphics settings change post processing from high to medium.
This greatly improved performance for me, I still get low FPS in places but the stuttering and massive frame rate drops have stopped after doing this.
Well, considering there will be expansions and new DLC coming that's not even an excuse to not optimize the game and fix their problems.

I can't believe it, this actually worked for me. I've gone from 8 fps to ~30 fps in Haven, so it's still not great but it's at least playable. Thanks!
