Hello there, I'm a new WS player and i enjoy the game A LOT!. Was wondering if DEVS are planning to optimize the game better cause there are  a lot of fps issues. I'm sure there are a lot amd users experiencing the same problems as i do. I would be really happy if someone from carbine could answer me.
 Ty in advance <3

			Please post your computer's specs, as its a little hard to tell where your issues might stem from without knowing what you're working with ^^.

FPS is Graphic Card problem not necessary CPU problem.
Probably your Graphic Card it's not so good. Try to run the game with low graphics and check your FPS again.
If not ask again here, and if you don't mind tell us your set up so we have a clear image what you have. CPU/GPU/RAM

I too have an AMD CPU. Although on the contrary i do have an older model... i mean REALLLY old model. AMD Antlon 2X 2.8 Ghz. I don't have any significant issues with the game as is. A list of your system specs would be nessicarry to determine if it is hardware or software that is causing your FPS issues.For reference it would look simmilar to this (ill be using mine for reference as well as omitting various details)
CPU: AMD Antlon 2X 245GPU: Nvidia Ge-force GTX 650Ram: 3071 MbOS: (omitted, various reasons)
 
While those are the barebones details i think you should understand that all PC's are not built the same and hence why this information is important. I suggest submitting a support ticket here.

Uhm amd 8320
 r9 280x
w10. My fps in large populated areas are problem going down to 13 fps at times no matter what settings is choose.

			I'm using a AMD processor and don't have any problems with fps. I'm running a FX-8320 which is a 8 core processor and a R7 200 series graphics card. I get anywhere from 40 - 60 fps depending where I am and whats going on around me.

Jaden, your CPU is pretty bad. That's your issue. Old AMD dual cores arnt powerful enough to run Wildstar.
GPU should be fine, it's your CPU that's causing you trouble. I'd upgrade or buy a new PC.
 
Hardevo, your problem is a bit strange. Your CPU should be good enough and clearly you have enough GPU power.
I would try reinstalling the game completely. Every single Wildstar related file, delete it.
 
There's a bunch of Wildstar data in Users/(you)/AppData/Roaming/NCsoft. Delete that folder.

			turn off some addons will help increase your fps (dont know what addons you can turn off so you need to look them up)

			Doesnt matter what sets i'm using, they go up 10 fps at most. The populated areas are the problem and it buggs me a lot.

Yeah optimization for AMD CPU still kinda bad, if you are in  very populated area, quest hubs with a bunch of players.. the fps goes down to 20 - 15fps even with lower settings, i know that Intel is better because of single core threading for MMORPGS, but i have no issues with GW 2, WoW, SWTOR or even Tera.Now here by just having NPCS or players around me doing nothing my fps is killed by just that, and since there is no way for you to choose instance zones like SWTOR or Tera with less players, you need to live with that shit fps in quest hubs or big cities.
 
When questing and killing stuff the fps are fine, even in dungeons are just fine.My Specs:AMD Phenom II x4 965 Black Edition 3.4AMD Radeon 67808GB DDR3 1333mhzWindows 10 64bitAll drivers are updated and i did a fresh install with windows 10.Obs. One thing that i think that would help AMD users is a setting for lower character quantity in your screen, Guild wars 2 have that and helps a lot when doing zergs or in places with tons of players and npcs.
 
Sorry for grammar and spelling errors, english isn't my first language.

i have both AMD CPU / GPU and the game now goes WAYYYYYYYY smoother than i remember , little to no issues with fps now :)
 
the only thing i have lower than max is number of players (character quantity?) i was in the 1 city and was surrounded by PC + NPCs and fps took a hit , lowered that and back to smooth fps ;)

Dusky and Hardevo you have both have w10 probably that's the problem
I have w7 64bit and i don't have low FPS in very populated areas. Actually i don't have problem with FPS at all. The game run very smooth for me.
Better send a ticket.

			@warlix you lowered what?

You think there are problems now, be glad you didn't play the beta/launch. The relaunch did optimize the game more, though I don't think it is where it should be yet: 
 
Client Optimization
We have done numerous optimizations to the WildStar client.
Most players should experience a higher frame rate in general and find the game smoother than before.
At the same time, the memory requirement has been reduced.
The 32-bit client will also automatically adjust graphic settings to better manage memory usage.
The client size has also been heavily optimized. The new client now requires much less disk space now.

			the AMD optimization in this game is a known issue, doesn't matter what graphics i set i still get no real FPS change, its sad, i hope once the launch panic is done with they can focus on these issues

			I have an almost 3-year old rig with AMD FX 8150 8-Core CPU and an AMD 7870 2GB GPU on Windows 10 64-bit.Even with distances lowered, particles set to Ultra Low, unparked cores, utilizing ForgeUI, etc., etc., in crowded places, my FPS dips if I budge every few seconds.In the open world, it's ... somewhat okay.  Depends on the zone.  Galeras in particular tends to be a bit jumpy.I hope it'll get better.  Really, I do.  Love the current state of the game!

			this game dont even use 100% of the intel cpu I have I watch it on on the taskmanger on another monitor it only uses 20% of it max.  it never goes above that. ever  it dont seem to care about cpus like most games.

This isn't exactly accurate. MMOs *NEED* a fast, quality CPU as it's doing a lot of the calculations. While a high end graphics card certainly helps. MMOs need a quality (i.e. Intel) CPU to get the most bang for your buck.
 
People need to understand the saying "You get what you pay for" There is a REASON why AMD cpu's are super cheap and Intel are expensive.
 
Performance is night and *cupcake*ing day.

You can only do so much optimization, people assume because a game looks cartoony it will run on anything but really compare the details of WoWs system vs Wildstars and it makes sense why WoW runs on toasters.
Wildstars systems require newer computers as does its graphics/animations/etc 
We also have to look at Carbine, being a smaller studio it will defiantly affect the resources compared other companies have to fixing things like this. 
The game is not well optimized to a degree, and MMOs do strive on the ability to market to lots of players but i would not say this game has any higher specs or worse optimized than other MMOs being released,
