147544-framerate

== Content ==
			
Is it normal that I get about 10 FPS straight off the arkship, with medium graphics settings? I have to drop to ultralow for 20+ FPS in PvP, which is my main interest in Wildstar.
 
My system:
 
Intel i7/-3770 @3.4 GHz
6 GB RAM
Windows10 64-bit
AMD Radeon HD 7570
 
I actually quit Wildstar about a month after launch due to this issue, and just returned last week. I was hoping the game would have been better optimized by now, during beta there was apparently an optimization issue with AMD graphics cards. Note that I do have the latest drivers installed, and that upgrading to Windows 10 had no noticeable effect on framerate.
 
What do you guys think, is 10 FPS on Medium to be expected, with this rig? Is there anything I can do to boost my FPS? I would even be willing to change the graphics card if that's the issue, but I wouldn't want to spend $200 on a new card only to discover that my framerate doesn't improve much.
 
Thanks for any tips and advice, I'd really appreciate it.

Have u unparked all u cores?

A application like Throttlestop might be able to boost u cpu even more

			Is that only 6gb ram or is that a mistype and you have 16?

AMD Card : so yes,  normal.
Wildstar does not like AMD

Wildstar is racist! :(
 
Dw AMD, I'm a cheap peasant, I still love you /sobs in the corner

Recently upgrade from HD 6870 to GTX 980 and the FPS gain is close to zero.
 
World boss fights is about 14fps.
Illium 40 fps.
 
12 GB ram, Windows 7.
 
I dont think W* doesnt love AMD, is just bad implemented.

That's also a factor yes.
The optimization for this game is really lacking.
I'm running on a GTX 760 and have a steady 35-45 FPS pretty much everywhere.
During Beta this was close to 75 constantly.
 
I'll say it again, but ever since Drop 3 they changed something and it has been going downhill ever since.

Found new things to try out tonight.
 
- Reduce view distance, got mine on max, ill try to put at half.
- Disable hyperthreading.

You got that FPS on Ultra settings? I just set everything to low.
Cant stand low fps.

 WIldStar does not run purely of the CPU.
Your CPU is a key factor yes, but it needs some GPU power as well.
I'm running on an i5 4670K CPU, and it runs fine for me in most cases.

Then u also know that AMD gpu´s work just as fine as NVDIA if u dont have any graphic effects on..
as long the gpu supports dx11 i seriously doubt it can be a bottleneck, unless ofc u trying to push heavy graphic elements onto a card that cant handle it.

This is not about if AMDs work as fine as NVIDIA's.
This is purely about how Wildstar is written, and it does not work properly with AMD drivers.
That's all.

{| class="blockquote"
It works fine, the only real issue with the AMD driver is Crossfire(SLI) where u need a strong system to not cook u GPU´s..

What GPU do you have?
 
I've tested on several AMD CPU's and had issues with the majority of them. I've ofc, done all the necessary fixes that would make any game more playable, boost performance of the CPU and several wildstar specific fixes that the community has baked up over the past year, and it seems to have minimal impact on performance.
----
			
Sorry forgot it's fine. Nothing to see here, because it works for other people fine, it's fine.
 
duh.

			That was a typo, I meant CPU.

			i7-840qm	
----
			Have you ever played wildstar on an AMD CPU? A recent model I mean.	
----
			No and what relevant does that have with this thread?	
----
			I was just wondering that's all.

I struggled with the same problem all of last year. No matter what settings I tried, nothing really helped fps. So I said screw it and bought a new PC. Now I get 90 fps on ultra in raids/pvp/Illium.
Get a Haswel i7 5930K and a 980ti and you will get 90fps. End of story.

game runs fine on my intel extreme edition and geforce titan and has been since the beta.
 
even during the insane stress test that will never happen in the real world.

Ok, so game runs smoth if you have the top pc parts....
Is nowhere near a graphic intense like witcher 3 or fallout 4, but i get way higher performance on those.

			By disabling Addon Profiling do you mean "Enable Profiling Updates" checkbox under Addons is unchecked ?

I'm also using the I5 4670K (@4.0) same CPU as another poster and have no issues. I have the GTX 770 4GB. My son also has the I5 4670K (@4.0) and is using a R9 290X 4Gb and basically get's the same performance as myself. That indicates that W* is dependent mostly on the CPU not GPU.
 
I use the GeForce recommend settings (nearly everything maxed) and average 70+ FPS. The only time I see low FPS (30's) is in a Main City. In open world I've seen upwards of 85-100+. We're both running 16GB of ram as well.
 
I've never seen 10 fps, even during Shades Eve near the main event area with a lot of other player's around.
 
Addons:
ForgeUI
LUI Aura
Vortex Meter
Vince Builds
KuronaPets
 
*119fps*
 
The above was a little older (month+) so I grabbed another. In Thayd with 50 players near, 49. When moving in the area It drops in the 30's.
 
*49fps*

			After turning off Hyperthreading, dropping my graphics settings to Ultralow, and bumping render resolution back up to Medium (which I consider essential for enjoying the game), I now get approximately 20-30 FPS in my housing plot. I should be able to maintain 20 FPS in PvP, if I drop render resolution to low. If it were another game I wouldn't mind so much, but Wildstar is such a beautiful game that it's a real shame :(	
----
			That is a horrible way to play Sirius, even if you do get better frames. I really recommend you start saving for a higher end PC. That really is the only true solution to fps issues in ws.

			It's actually a desktop, to be precise it's an HP Pavilion P6-2315 EL, with no modifications to the factory setup. I agree that the GPU has to be the weak link here, but even so I'm surprised to see an FPS quite this low. I'll buy a new graphics card when I go to the US over the Christmas holidays, and hopefully the situation will noticeably improve.

			well...i am owner of FX 8350 / R9 290x / 12 GB RAM...and got all bad problem with this game.I was trying everything to fix the FPS problem ,whic i found on forum or elsewhere, and nothing was helped me. Fps in Thayd are like 12-15 with 100 players on ultra low... outside is like 30+... but... i think that i found a solution for us AMD users!! :) .just to know.. now i got 60 FPS all on ultra hihg,vsync etc... except view distance is on 400 !! without Vsync it depends.. from 60 - 100 FPS, in which area u are.Thayd with 50+ ppl... All on ultra 30 + fps .Without that number of ppl i got 40-60. Ofc... there is low dips in specific spot in game whic bring down to 5-6 in a 20 sec,but..i know where they are and i am tryin to avoiding it. :)

			This game does not play well with AMD.........my brand new 4690k which I've got OC'd to 4.2ghz and an R390 tend to average 50-80fps in the open and around 30-40 in Illium. It's widely known that this games optimization is borderline "Indie" level.
