I have a 2600k 3.4GHz, 8GB DDR3 and a 780 card. I've had absolutely no crashes after 40 hours of fun and I run it on ultra, maxed out everything. I get 40-60 fps at all times. Even cutscenes are awesome. Only thing is that I use 2x MSAA not 4x, not tried 4x (Edit: tried 4x, works perfectly).
Should look into drivers, overheating, clean stuff up etc.
I just wonder how people have problems with this game with such new components. I build my own computers, and I keep it very clean. My computer is old, built in 2010, I run a i7 930, 6gb of ram, X58 motherboard. But I do upgrade my video from time to time. I now have a 780ti and I run the game everything maxed out, and I do not get bellow 45fps. I even have Shadowplay on for videos.
My point is, you should be able to run this game without issues. Check whats running in the background. I know Rivatuner causes bad stuttering, and crashes. I ran Mirillis Action! for screenshots, and it crashed my game.
Look at your crash in Windows Event Viewer, see if there anything there. Run the game with minimal programs in the background. Make sure every driver is up to date, etc.
Hope you fix your issues.
Let me rephrase, I don't mean stutter in cutscenes as in low framerate, I mean it pauses ever second or every other second.. Like its dropping frames.Cutscenes are locked at 30 FPS which is probably why they don't look that smooth if you're used to getting 60 everywhere else.
Also if you're running MSAA I'd recommend turning it off for now. It seems to have a habit of tanking your framerate while offering little visual improvement, even on top end cards with SLI.
PC has been running rock solid for me.
No crashes to desktop. No freezing. No weird graphics glitches.
Zip. The only bug's I've encountered have been the sound dropping in and out occasionally.
That's it.
It's easy to immediately blame the game, for what boils down to an incorrectly configured PC.
Spending $1600 on a computer means nothing if the system isn't correctly configured.
If you don't have the technical knowledge (or access to it) to correctly configure and trouble shoot PC's, then yes, it's probably not the best platform to be gaming on.
I'd also point out that buying "pre-built" PC's is not a guaranteed way to cement a solid experience.
My rig was hand build with completely custom parts from the ground up.
OP this sucks for you though you could have gotten a PS4 for $450 CAD (comes with last of us remastered an exceptionally great game) and buy dragon age inquisition for $70 CAD. All up incl shipping $520 CAD and the PS4 comes with 12 month warranty from Amazon. Could have saved yourself $1100...
it seems you bought a pre built pc and got ripped off.

On that note you can get the same PC cheaper by buying the components and building it yourself. It's actually quite easy. The hardest part is doing your research, finding what you need, and ultimately deciding what you want. You will spend more than on the console, but you can get a much better system that will last you much longer. You also have the huge advantage of being able to upgrade individual components, as I did when I needed a new graphics card but still had a plenty powerful processor.

Well, he bought it for WoW and Civ, so that wasn't exactly an option >.>
personally, i'm running on a GTX 970, and things have been butter smooth mostly. There have been a few cutscenes that got really choppy, but other than that no issues.
The optimization is pure ass, it's true. My system is older too (I'm getting a new gaming rig for Xmas), but DAI is a cross-gen title. If it can run on 360/PS4, there is absolutely no excuse for how poor my preformance is.
There is a "crash" that i've gotten a few times but it's not a crash. It just closes the application. No error report no system lock up or anything.
Has happened when i've gotten calls over skype. But not every time. So odd.
I don't even want 60 fps or ultra, I just want the f... game to f... run.

To be fair, I'll be some things are downgraded in the last-gen versions.
Runs like a knife through warm butter on my rig
Jaguar X8 core proc
8gig DDR5 ram
AMD Radeon 7870 Gfx
GTX 760 MSI TF OC and an I5-4570K
I get 18 FPS on high and like 30 FPS on lowest settings.
I honestly think I should be able to run it on high and get like 40-50 at least....
I found really good settings now where I'm getting around 60fps on 1080p with the same specs as you! First turn off vsync, then:
Mesh Quality- Ultra
Tesselation- Low
Texture Quality- Ultra
Shadow- Low
Terrain- Medium
Vegetation- Medium
Water- High
Post Process Quality- Ultra
Ambient Occlusion- HBAO
Effects- Ultra
Post Process Anti aliasing- High
Multisample- off
Maybe you live in countries where people sell you computer that work. I don't.
The comment on the two weeks old computer is that I waited for seven years to change computer, I can't really buy a new one for DAI. I mean, I know, I was stupid enough to believe that a 2014 expensive computer could run decently a 2014 game. It's way, way, way too much to ask.

I'm a tad confused. You blame Bioware for your PC not running Dragon Age?
Munktor, an imbecile like me could think that a gaming computer bought in november 2014 could run (just run, mind you, not ultra. Just run) could run a november 2014 game.
How it can be an hardware issue ? The computer is TWO WEEKS OLD. I used it to play WOW and CIV.
It's probably not - most likely software. My wife is playing on an identical rig, same card, on high. She had a couple of crashes early on, but that was fixed with new drivers and downloading the updated C++ redistributable.
The first thing you should do is make sure you're nvidia drivers are up to date. You should see driver 344.75. Update it through Nvidia experience, which is probably already installed with your card. Then take a look at this link for some other options:

Unfortunately, PC gaming frequently comes with an additional game mode - "tech support." The game did just come out, and we're far better at breaking things than Bioware's QA dept is.
Good luck!

No, I get it, you're frustrated. But i'm just saying, it has nothing to do with Bioware...everything to do with your setup. PC's are finnicky sometimes. If you're unfamiliar with how to properly set drivers and optimize specs, there are many resources online to assist. I'm just saying, a LOT of people are able to play the game on the PC so it isn't that Bioware developed a game that can't be run on today's technology =)

You aren't the only person experiencing problems, but that is the risk of PC gaming.
Right now I know of two video options that can bring systems to their knees, the biggest offender is MSAA and one that can cause issues is Windowed (Full Screen), both of those can be a major drain on a systems performance.
For $1600 you should have gotten a much more powerful GPU included than that budget 760. For $1600 I could build a PC from parts on Newegg that would run circles around those specs. If you are going to buy prebuilt, make sure you run the specs & price by someone who is knowledgeable with hardware to avoid getting ripped off.Intel Core i7-4770k
12 gigs of ram (ddr3)
Ge Gorce GTX 760
Yes, yes, keep saying you have computers that run the game with the third of those specs. That's helping. I would give 3000 ****** bucks to get ONE time a computer that can run a game of the year without making me suffocate with rage. (once again, with only high specs, and not caring about FPS...just wanting it to work...)
But no. Its asking too much. I'm back to 2004 Warlords of Draenor and Civ 5. I only paid 1600, I'm too cheap.
I have been building my own computers for over a decade. I have a GTX Titan and I can play other recent titles on the highest settings with no issues. I have installed the latest Nvidia drivers correctly (driver sweeper, safe mode). I have a fresh Windows install, about two weeks old, so there's virtually nothing other than Dragon Age ever running.No, I get it, you're frustrated.

You mean one of those custom built PC that have no warranty and that stores will refuse to repair ?

On Ultra settings (minus MSAA which only nets me about 6 FPS), I get 25 - 30 FPS in the Hinterlands. On Low (e.g., looks like a Nintendo 64 game), I manage to pull an amazing still not 60 FPS.
At what point can you still absolve Bioware of any fault?
The point in which many are playing without issue.
Bioware didn't concoct a conspiracy to overthrow the gaming experience of Maverick827 & Angedechu.
It amazes me how people judge how good a PC should run based on how much money they spent.
OP, please tell me you didn't buy a pre-built machine or a name brand computer like HP, Compaq, Dell/Alienware, etc?
Did you build your machine using quality parts?
For $1600 I can build a machine right now with:
i7-4790K 4.0ghz quad core
16gb of G.Skill Sniper ram
Samsung 840 EVO 500 GB SSD drive
MSI GTX 970 4GB video card
Windows 8.1
Asus 24" monitor
Corsair 750W PSU
Corsair Air 540 high air-flow case
With this rig I could probably run this game at Ultra and get 60-70fps pretty easily. Probably even closer to 80fps.
