So now, this game still suffers some major FPS drops in some Zones, even in low populated zones or in zones that nothing happens execpt some wildlife go on with their life.
The FPS can drop form solid 70 fps down to 20 and i'm not really enjoying it.
I'm now in the area Bio Dome 3 and had to turn down the graphics to medium and i can run this game between ultra and high (my PC should be able to do it!)
 
So here is my PC specs!
Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2 Motherboard.
AMD 9590 x8 core 4,72 GHz (not overclocked)
16 GB Corsair Vengeance Pro 1866 MHz CL9
Nvidia Titan X 12 GB (latest driver 358.50)
Corsair RM 1000 W powersupply 80+ Gold.
1 SSD Kingston 120 GB (only for windows)
1 HDD WD 3 TB Black 7200 RPM
Windows 10 Pro 64 bit
Other info:
Main temp in PC idle: 25 Celsius
Main temp in PC active(playing games) 50-55 Celsius.
Have 5 fans in my PC case so cooling issue is not what i have.
 
And now here is the fun part!
I had several mail conversations with Wildstar support one year ago about the same issue, did send all info about my PC, DXdiag etc and every answer i got from support didn't help so i stopped playing the game since i was a subscriber back then and got mad that i could not enjoy a stable game.
And now, F2P, still i did subscribe again because i want to support Wildstar! I love this game and it's mega fun, but that this FPS drops random still exist even after a year is still a mystery to me.
Anyone else who have the same problem?
Have a great day on Nexus!

Welcome to my life...
 
 
This game runs horribly on top notch system specs, it's always had problems with newer hardware. People with i5 processors and average graphics cards never dropping below 80 on high, while I'm running at 60-90 and constanly experiencing major fps drops everywhere with OC'd i7-4790k, GTX 980 and 16GB ram with an Asus Z97-A motherboard. I'd say I run at average 70 on high with draw distance lowered.

			You went cheap on the processor to save a buck and now you're paying for it. There is a reason AMD's are half the price of Intel.

If an i7 4770k, 2x980 ti's, and 32gb of ram is having troubles, there is an issue with the game.  I've been over it several times already in several threads.  Give up man, this game has zero support for high end systems.  Oh and before you say it is something with my rig, here is a little video I took with Afterburner running to manage how much resources are actually being used.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmQl9TiQdPc&feature=youtu.be
 
Not a single piece of my rig is being stressed, yet my framerates are in the 40s and the game is only on high settings@1080p.  This same rig can run pretty much ANY game I throw at it at 4k without breaking a sweat.  Pretty much either suck it up and live with the crappy performance or move on.  Clearly no one is helping.  I'm sticking around for a bit, but only because I have a month to kill before Fallout 4 comes out.

I'm going to switch to Intel someday since their hyper-threading tecnology made Intel superior on gaming rigs, but my AMD chip is not bad, can max alot of games with solid 60+ fps. But i blame the Wildstar engine for causeing the FPS drops, not optimized at all while some people with much lower specs then i have can run the game perfectly.
But i managed to keep a bit more steady fps with vertical sync on and put the game on High settings so i'm around 60 fps, lowest drop 25.

			When game first came out, ran smooth, but like others here, same issue. I'm glad to see it's not just me, and this time around it's running on an SSD to boot.

All i can say that Wildstar did run smooth as butter during the beta stage for me when it was P2P but after the game was officaly released the drops came with it. I will still play wildstar even if i get drops below 20 fps.
The vertical sync did not make any improvement.. so i guess i have to run this game on medium for now.

			Have you tried turning just the particle effects right down?  iirc they were causing some people big issues.

check this out: https://www.reddit.com/r/WildStar/comments/256719/got_major_perfomance_boost_and_stable_5060_fps/
 
looks like some outdated config is causing fps drops. solution: delete the content of the wildstar folder in appdata>local>NCSoft> (dont worry everything needed gets downloaded/patched back when starting the game again.
 
Tell me if this worked for u :>
