Just wanted to add my 2 cents to this thread. I spent the past weekend playing for a bit, then tweaking graphics, then playing and tweaking more settings. The following are my specs (built the rig in 2013, added the 780 this year, up from 580) :

 

Win7 64bit

Corsair 750w PSU

16g Ram

i5 3570k @ 4.2ghz stable since build date; closed loop cooling

eVGA GTX 780 SC w arctic cooling (evga)

Sound Blaster Recon PCI-E

600gb C Drive with windows and non-games

2TB D Drive, games only

Losta cooling

 

I love this system, built it from the ground up and its serving me quite well

 

On Auto settings for Graphics, it had me on Ultra with 2xMSAA. Running that, my game's FPS would dip into the 30s in city/village environments. still playable, but sluggish and not what i would expect outta my machine.

After many hours spent tweaking and worrying about performance, not even playing the game, I accepted the fact that my hardware is not top of the line anymore and I may have to adjust. i tried default High and still had some fluctuating frame rates. I then disabled the Origin overlay and that netted a more responsive feeling. I then disabled MSAA, Tesselation, Ambient Occlusion to HBAO(not full), in game VSync enabled, nvidia defaults in control panel (except high performance and high qaulity textures). I am running Fade Touched Texture quality as well.

 

It appears to be running decent now, I occasionally dip into the high 40s when in hinterlands around the farms or great big open areas i'm looking across. Mostly its 50+. Cut scene stutters have decreased drastically since using the In-Game Vsync instead of Nvidia Adaptive or Force On with Buffering.

i7-2600k @ 4.8Ghz

EVGA GTX 780 Dual Classified Hydro Copper @ 1.4Ghz

16GB of RAM

Two Crucial C300 128GB SSDs in RAID0

 

My Settings are everything manually maxed out beyond Ultra with MSAA disabled and Motion Blur disabled through the config mod. The game is running at 1080p.

 

Most of the time I get 60fps and beyond but a few places it can dip to around 50fps. Rarely it can go to around 40fps. I am definitely GPU limited on my system, getting 99% usage on my GPU at all times.

 

Load times are super fast. I can only read a few lines of text on the loading screen before it finishes. When traveling the "Traveling" text only shows up and fades away about 2 to 3 times.

 

Edit: Also have the 60fps cut-scene mod. Every cut-scene I have checked has been running at 60fps or more.

Running Ultra, no Fadetouch textures, running 1080p no drops at all, was worried that my grafic card might not make it, but turning the textures down did the job for me.

As a mouse and keyboard guy, what I'm about to say comes as a bit of a shock to me.

Out of curiosity, I switched to using a controller as I found the keyboard/mouse controls less seamless than in previous DA titles (especially no click to walk or click to go to item). The game play experience is much, much better this way - it's clear that the game was made with controllers in mind.

What is more, issues I had with frame rate drops and juddering on mouse-looking around the environment are now gone. Frame rates are consistent.

So for those controller skeptics I'd recommend giving it a try.

I even found a way to use my PS3 controller (don't have an Xbox 360 one) without using that god-awful MotionInJoy program. If anyone wants to know how to do it, let me know and I'll post a walkthrough.

There was a huge change in how graphics drivers were handled between Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. Windows 8.1 will likely provide a significant improvement in performance for most people.

So I guess it's pretty clear now that, at least where DA:I is concerned, Windows 8.1 is the way to go. Honestly, despite all the bugs I'm really enjoying my time with the game and I'm getting more and more tempted to at least install a copy of Windows 8.1 on a different drive and compare the game's performance between 7 and 8.1 myself. 

 

However, I've noticed something else going on while playing on Windows 7 (x64) - the smoothness of the game seems to degrade the longer I play it. Whenever I'm about to take a break after 2 hours or so, I notice that panning the camera around with the mouse becomes a real pain due to uninterrupted hitching, no matter where I am or what I am doing. It's really driving me mad, I wonder if there's a memory leak in the game...

My game for the most part is ok, but I do occasionally get random jerkiness for no reason, then it will magically go away as quick as it comes.

 

GTx 970

i5 4670 clocked to 4.3

16 gig ram

 

Last night i did some experiments, on my own rig I dont need to do this but it my help others who are struggling with avg framerate.

 

I compared the following.

Rendering at native res (my case 1050p) and no MSAA

to

Rendering at 80% pixel count and 2xMSAA

 

The latter even tho people say MSAA is heavy was way less stress on my GPU, the GPU even reduces its clocks.  Pixel count is a massive hit on GPU's seems more so than MSAA, also the game looks better at 80% pixel redenering with MSAA vs 100% and no MSAA. Even 80% pixel count with 4xMSAA is less load on the GPU than 100% pixel count and no MSAA.

I want you to play everything Ultra...

but...

( Tesellation , MSAA, Ambient Occlusion, V -sync ) >>>off...only these 4 settings off..

then tell me two things please..

first...what is the frame rate?

second...is the image quality different from playing all settings High...is it better , worse??

Thanks.

 

 

With everything on Ultra settings and those four things off, I was getting around 56-66fps.

 

You may see the odd drop to 30-45fps though. Well obviously the quality wouldn't look better if I played it on High instead.

 

But the differences wouldn't really be noticeable unless you had two games running side by side.

 

The only annoying thing is you have to restart the game when you change most of the settings.

 

Also, this is when I was using AMD's Mantle instead of DX11. It runs a lot better on Mantle than DX.

Well, that's very good indeed.

But does this mean you will continue playing all ultra except those four off??Do you miss Ambient Occlusion for example?

If not...I think I won't buy anything more than r9 280 or r9 285 for this game...

Unless I could have some more patience and wait for the new cards..

Damn!!..I change my decision everyday..I think if a patch comes out and make things prettier than they are now, I'll be sure then.

Anyway, thank you for your effort...and sorry if you had to restart the game a lot of times.

Side by side performance comparisons? What are you basing this on?

[Zin CRV]

My system is as per below.

 

Win 7 64Bits

8GB Ram

Intel Core i5 4400

MSI TF R9 280x

1080p Display

 

With Ultra in game settiing im getting only around 32-36fps. Sometime will dip below 30. So change to Automatic setting (which is all is set to High, Tensellation Med, Texture Faded Touch, MSAA off), im getting average at 60fps which sometime dip to 5x.

You can check my earlier post in this thread where I talked about this. You can also check what DICE said about it around the launch of Battlefield 4 here.

 

The performance increase will vary from system to system, but there is potential for large increases in CPU intensive scenes.

[BrutaleBent]

Don't know if this will be of any relevance to anyone - but I had FPS drops, specially in cutscenes (not the 30 fps lock, but drops below that), where the sound would make a short stutter too. I disabled just about anything, helped nothing. No matter what I tried (disabling antivirus/services/internet), it was there - breaking the immersion. Sitting with a fairly old i7 - 2600k at stock speed and a 7970 ghz edition. However, noticed the CPU wasn't utilized to it's full extent, not even close. Soo, I tried disabling Hyper-Threading - suddenly it utilized more of my CPU cores and I got rid of most of the FPS dips in cutscenes, and so far made it much more enjoyable. Just wanted to mention that, in case it could help anyone.

TL;DR: Disabling Hyper-Threading helped me, 'might' help others.

 

Have a nice day!

I know very little about PCs ^^ but I offer up my specs in hopes of adding to the conversation and helping anyone out there:

 

Windows 8.1 64BIT

1.5 GB nVidia GDDR5 GeForce GTX 660

1TB 7200 rpm SATA 6Gb/s Hard Drive

Processor: Intel Core 4th Generation i7-4770 

8 GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 1600MHz 

 

I am playing the game on "medium" settings with texture and mesh set to "high" (so no shiny hair/faces). The game is beautiful and runs flawlessly. Short loading times (I can't even read the first two sentences of the cards that pop up on the loading screens). No stuttering, no crashing, just smooth playing.

Anyone having excessive use of memory after couple of hours playing?

 

I have 16gigs of ram and sometimes I play 6-8 hours without an hiccup but sometimes after 1-2 hours system runs out of memory (around 15-16 gb usage) and the game starts stutter like hell and I ended up rebotting the pc since simply restarting the game won't help. Somehow my unpaged memory hits up to 12-13gb and only a reboot fixes it...

I only have 8 GB RAM myself and after playing for about 2-3 hours around the Hinterlands I have noticed the camera becoming extremely jittery at all times, even when moving into other areas after that. I haven't monitored my memory usage while playing, but I did alt-tab when I couldn't deal with the constant stutter any longer and my memory usage was above 70% if I recall correctly. That being said, I'm also limiting my virtual memory between 200 - 1024 MB using the Samsung Magician Maximum Reliability profile for my Samsung 830 Pro SSD, so who knows how much it would have taken up of that as well if I had set it to "system managed" instead?

 

I'm honestly surprised BioWare have yet to release a single patch given the myriad issues with this game... 

[supertramp]

Yes, that's exactly what I'm experiencing. Sometimes I play 6-8 hours without a hiccup but sometimes it eats up all the ram I have in an hour or so.

 

There was a very similar memory leak when BF4 released and some people tracked the source of the leak and found out it's amd driver. I'm not sure if it's same now though but I have a Radeon 7870.

 

What's your gpu?

Sometimes happens to me too. Although restarting a game works just fine for me. Although I have only 8 GB of RAM, and I haven't checked if the stutter is actually caused by RAM usage, but it seems probable.

So I had initially had the DirectX Nvidia CTD problem, but after switching to SSAO that has stopped it(I haven't crashed in around a week) and am running the game at max settings other wise with a decent frame rate and little lag, if any.

[Alias Oddvar]

The game runs fine on ultra 2xanti aliasing 1440/900 resolution, pc settings are ssd disks, gtx 780 ti, 8 cores 4,01 ghz Windows 7. So the game runs fine on ultra With slightly older Tech if you use a lower resolution. load times are really fast, game runs without hiccups lag etc. Grafics wise this game looks Nice. However the Controls for mouse+ keyboard are sub par.

[Wulfram]

I've noticed that on the (not terribly common) occasions when it crashes (become unresponsive), it's always shown as using a multiple of 25% of my CPU. Not sure if that means anything, but I've got a 4 core CPU (i5-750)

[The Fire Cat]

Done virus and malware scans, can run far cry 4 with high preset settings at  1920*1800 with stable 60 fps and still can't play this game on the 1440*900 low settings with 50% scale faster than 20 fps average... Something is wrong either with the engine the game runs on or the current up to date drivers for my system. I have over 30 hours of game time, not one crash but the performance is totally horrible. The game is truly great but this performance problem I have is totally unbearable. I'm really tired of playing with Kings Quest 4 graphics

 

Specs: i7 4700mq / 16 gb ddr3 ram / Intel HD 4600 + Nvidia GeForce GTX 780M /

 

Any advice and information on what the problem is/would be appreciated. 

[Wulfram]

Could the game be using the wrong GPU somehow, Fire Cat?

Dunno. How can I check that? And if it does how can I guide it to use the right one?
