at first im experiencing the same problem, very poor framrates during varric's abduction...i only mangae to play fine with all ettings max except for the medium graphics detail.

however, right now, im playing with good framerates using the very high settings and everything maxed out..on the nvidia control panel, i just turned off the anti-aliasing-transparency for the specific application(dragon_age2.exe)

"Anti-aliasing transparency specifically has been seen to affect performance heavily"

hope this will help u guys. oh by the way, im using the latest beta driver from nvidia. right now im experiencing the black shadows in-game though.

Same problem here, CPU i7-920 3.2Ghz Ram 12GB 2xGTX460 in SLI i have black spots or glitches and frame rate is very slow. Setting ultra high 1920x1200,DX11 and HD texture installed.

[Elishia]

On my i7 - 920 / 8 GB RAM DDR3/ overclocked Gigabyte GF 470 the game is totally unplayable in DX 11 with high res pack - the framerates oscillate below 20 FPS

First of all, I feel cheated for buying an untested software that refuses to run properly on a high - end rig, while better looking games are working just fine.

As of now, I'm shelving the game until Bioware patches it, and I will not reccommend any of my friends a purchase of DA 2 until they properly fix it. This is a big dissapointment for me, a long time fan that started playing Bio games back in the 90s. I even took a day off work to play on the release day . Bioware give back my wasted holiday

You can play in dx9 in the meantime. I am.

It's software development. There are deadlines and priorities.

But if Bioware doesn't fix dx11 in reasonable time, then let real complaints begin.

Extremely low 10-20 fps on dx 11 very high max settings + texture pack
Turning off AA and SSAO helps increase the fps to around 30, however I still get a lot of stuttering.

I get around 40-50 fps on dx11 high settings but its still not as smooth as it should be.

dx9 max settings AA\\AF maxed is of course butter smooth 100+fps which doesn't seem right in comparison to dx11.

Hi Chris,

First Thanks for giving us an update.

But the problem is not just on Very High it is on High also the moment you turn on DX11 all the problems start.

I can play the game very smothly for the time it plays, because every 5-10 min the game freezes and the only thing that works is the mouse cursor cant click in anything tho then i use Ctrl+alt+del then just Tab back into the game window, play for another 5-10 min then it freezes again.

DX9 no problems at all.

BTW i Have a Nvidia Geforce GTS 250.

GTS 250 is a low end card, running old GDDR3 with only 128 stream processors. Card like that and a game like this, you should see best performance in dx9 mode, with some goodies turned on.

I'm running a GTX 260M, a mobile card, and I can run the game playably at High settings @ 720p with 4xAA and 8xAF. Specs aren't everything.

[PsiEye83]

Finally got game to run with my nvidia gtx 560 ti. I only changed anti-aliasing transparency from 8x super sampling to multi sampling. And now game runs perfectly with directx 11 and everything at max settings

[Ieldra]

Can anyone tell me what the differences between the "high" and the "very high" details settings are supposed to be? Because the only difference I can detect is a slight change in the quality of the shadows, not nearly enough to sacrifice 20fps for.

Performance with DX11:
*Everything maxed but AA (4x instead of 8x) = 20-30 fps, most of the time near the 30 and mostly quite playable.
*The same but with "high" instead of "very high" details = 40-50 fps which is a smooth as I could wish.
*Setting AA from 4x to 8x, regardless of graphic details = ~ 10 fps.

With any other setting, I get a constant 60 fps where things are apparently capped (OK for me). This is on a Phenom II X6 @ 3GHz, Geforce 560 Ti OC (1024MB) and 4 GB physical RAM. OS is Windows 7 64bit.

like Dan26TN talked about, seems to be an issue with Tesselation, tested nearly all configutaions, and disabling it seems to work

How do you disable tesselation?
I would love to know how to disable that artifact inducing parallax mapping as well. (the bumpy ground/walls.)

The tesselation is more prominent. There are some pretty improvements with the higher tesselation, but overall, I agree, at this moment it's definately not worth the FPS-loss.

[PottuVoi]

In what place can I see tesselation properly, thus far I havent noticed it.
Yes, I have seen the relief mapping.

Im not using beta graphic drivers, but when I turn on DX11 for DAII, The frames are rediculously low and the game tears, black shadows, etc.

For being a very big loyal bioware fan, this is very disapointing. I hope the whole EA thing hasnt lowered your level of quality.

I know why we cannot play this game right.

Here is a direct quote from an EA tech support specialist as well as my own submitted problem. (realize that I am also running a 64bit platform--windows 7 64, and I also have above system requirements)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you again for contacting Tier 2 Customer Support.

I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you so far.

I have gone through the e-mail and found that you are facing problem with the crashing of the game "Dragon Age II". I am sorry to hear that you came across such an incident.

Unfortunately the game is not tested on Windows 7 or 64 bit environment. There is a work around that you can try but still there is no guarantee about it. You can try to run the game as administrator, to run the game as administrator:

1. Right-click on the shortcut icon of the game on your desktop.
2. Choose the option "Run as Administrator".
3. Choose to allow the game.

If the game still not runs properly, Please try to play it in Compatibility mode. Please visit the following link for the steps to play the game in compatibility mode:

I truly appreciate your understanding regarding the issue.

We look forward for your reply.

My game hangs, crashes, and then restarts after minutes of gameplay when I am at very high settings and 720p with MSAAx4. I have also had a bluescreen crash because of this issue. I have the latest drivers from my manufacturer (Alienware) as well. If I set the game to high settings, then the game plays fine.

Another issue I am having is my keyboard movement in game. It runs very choppy with a rubberbanding effect on frame rates whenever I use it to turn the camera and move my character. If I use my mouse for movement and camera, I have no issues with frame rate, but as soon as I need to take control with my keyboard, it's a mess.
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Excuse my language.... What the hell BioWare? Most of us own 64bit platforms, and most of the manufacturers RECOMMEND 64 bit over 32... What is your game people? Get us some ****g support or expect a boycott of some sort. Every time I spend 64 USD to buy something on PC from you people, it's the same madness; Install, play, glitches, comb the forums and submit TS ticket, no response for 24hrs, get a response, try the TS resolution, nothing works, resubmit response to tech support, and nothing gets resolved. And why is that you ask? BECAUSE YOU CAN'T BUILD A GAME TO SUPPORT 64BIT PLATFORMS?

Good luck selling your upcoming mmorpg with that attitude BW. I think I'm done supporting your company.


Here are my system specs, BTW, for those burning to know.

Alienware Aurora
i7 920 OC'ed @3.6ghz (turbo on)
radeon hd 5970 (2gigs of VRAM w/ both gpu's on)
6gb memory

I can play this game at 60 fps on full settings @ 720p for about 15min until I crash. As I stated above, my keyboard movement and camera movement makes my frames rubberband to an annoying level.

Funny how when I look on the back of my sig edition, there is a nice little "windows 7" for PC Recomendation.  I am running windows 7 64 bit ultimate, but who isnt with a high end rig?

Thats a load of crap, if your going to release your software you make sure it works if its not going to work when you release it then push back the date otherwise you get threads like this springing up of people with high end systems paying good money for software that does not work correctly.

The effect isn't very noticeable. If at all. I've made screenshot comparisons with tesselated floors, and essentially the effect is that on one setting, the floor appears to be somewhat elevated but there aren't more details. Possibly you'll notice it more if you look at it from a very obtuse angle. I'll keep checking.

[PottuVoi]

The thing on floors and walls isn't tesselation, it's some sort of parallax mapping.
The artifacts are easy to see when camera is close to the surface and watch along it. (not toward the surface.)

Settings to max, feeble performance.
i will wait for patch rather than ruining my gameplay by compromising on the settings.

[Knight Terror]

AMD Phenom X4 OC'd to 3.7 ghz
EVGA GTX 460 OC'd to 900 mhz

Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate
Current Beta Nvidia drivers

Can max out everything on Very High settings and only see roughly 12 FPS or below. When I switch to High settings, it bumps to about 25-30.

I can max every single current PC game out with excellent framerate, so this is unfortunate.

Neither the GTS 250, nor the GTX 260 m are "true" GT200 cards, and as such, do not benefit in general from recent Geforce drivers (roughly 18 months to two years and less).  The GTS 250 is a G92, same as the GTX 260 m is, and whenever any bald statement, one way or the other, about where in the spectrum a given card fits, is made, it must simply be ignored. 

Proper benchmarking makes comparisons that can be repeated.  Everyone must pay attention to the fact that nVIDIA was very late to the table with Dx11.  The GT200s, all of them, and the 8n00, 9n00 cards as well, were Dx10 cards. 

The older ones will "generally" perform better on older drivers than on the newer ones, such as are the primary consideration of this particular Sticky thread.

This thread helped my Nvidia SLI rig tremendously, so I'd check it out if you are running SLI. I don't believe it will help single GPUs though.

Running DX11 mode, as this is the only way I can get high quality textures and graphics.
Game will slow down and hang temporarily when loading a new area, or after loading a save game.

I have filed a driver bug report with ATI on my issue, as I believe it is an issue with the drivers.

Update, switched to DX9 mode with high quality textures using the configuration utility, and the game appears to work fine now on my videocards.

Ouch.

Came home yesterday to find DA2 waiting for me, so installed it then found out I couldn't actually play it since it's not officially out in the UK 'til today. Whatever. That sucks - who gives a crap about one day? - but I waited.

Came home today, ready to go, excited even, and managed to get as far as the opening cutscene to find the game runs like dog poo. Got to the first opening battle with Hawke and his brother, and the game might as well be unplayable since it's going so slow. Getting those black boxes on the ground like people have been saying too. Not good.

Seems little point posting my specs, since it hardly ever seems to resolve anything - especially when the issue isn't even at my end - but here:

Windows 7 64-bit
Nvidia GTS 450
AMD Phenom II 955 Quad-core 3.2GHz
4GB RAM
Blah blah, etc etc...

I have the game on full settings, all the necessary boxes ticked, Directx11 enabled, and the high-res texture pack. I buy the game on PC for these very options, and so not being able to use them means I might as well not bother playing it.

As the kids would say "FIX PLZ KTHX"
