Terrible FPS

Tried it myself, Upgraded to 8.1... No difference =(

Have an i7 4790 , Radeon R9 290, 16gb of ram and 1000w psu - have always been and still getting around 15fps

Did you try it with DX11?

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.

This fixed the jumpy framerate for me, i still get massive fps drops around heavily populated areas, though it retains its smoothness.

I am glad to hear people are having success with this, good to know it is an option. I am going to hope a patch is released that fixed the problem for me because I am not super keen to spend more money on a game that (currently) does not work. Cheering for those who can finally play on Win 8 though! 🙂

Yeah, if I think too hard about it, it actually sickens me at how bad some games perform at launch.  And it sickens me even more to see the lengths that we all will go through just to play a stable game, it shouldn't be that way.  And they wonder why people are playing pirated games.

Yeah tried both mantle and DX11, tried screwing around with settings (its the same on low as it is on high), Tried fullscreen and windowed, tried the command line. Nothing seems to work for me

Arcanon, just a question, whats your CPU specs?

Its the same for me, same FPS despite low or high

Intel Core i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHZ (Quad-Core) with hyper-threading enabled

Okay I seem to have solved my problem
I actually went and checked my hardware via program called HWinfo and found my CPU temp was at 100 degrees celcius for some reason (This was idol btw), So I opened up my pc, took out the heat sink and the processor itself and didnt find any dust, I blew on it anyway and then put it all back together. Suddenly I am getting 60fps at max graphics so that seems to have done the trick, must have been small dust particles in all the wrong places.

Anyway I'm not putting the covers back on my case just in case, get a bit better airflow through there.
Hope it lasts and hope this info might help someone =D

I have upgraded from win7 to 8.1 and it did the trick for me aswell! No more sluttering, and solid 40+ fps everywhere. So I think we found the core of the problem.. This game and the whole Frostbite 3 just does not work well with win7..

For all those who don't believe it's bad optimization, I've been experiencing terrible framerate drops since I had started playing, I've benched the game for now in hopes for it to get patched, but to test my theory on whether or not it was bad optimization, I went to one of the many populated area's in Hinterlands where I got half of my framerate loss 60 to 28-30 just by looking in that general direction, and I dropped my game resolution to the lowest which is 1024x768 and dropped resolution scale to 25 which is the lowest. My settings were set to: Meshes on high, every other setting on medium, and SSAO on. The game literally was just pixels, and the game was still running at 32fps. Take note, that this isn't happening with other very demanding games that I play, so it's not a problem with my PC, and I was run through all the troubleshooting with customer support, in the end I asked if it must had been an optimization issue and they had told me that it MUST be. I REALLY want to delve into this game at it's full extent, but this is holding me back, I dished out alot of money for this game and I'm pretty sad about this.
