Sorry if this is in the wrong spot, I didn't really see a subforum for something like this. Please move it if it is.

 

Anyway, I just recently finished DAO and DA2 on for the most part max settings. I've been playing DAI for the past hour or so on low settings and my PC has really been struggling around 20 fps with hiccups where it will freeze for a moment while everything loads and then continues. I don't really mind having shadows or great effects or even really the environment - I think it looks fine. I just want the characters to look as good as they possibly can while running at a smooth 25+ fps without hiccups.

 

Specs:

Processor: Intel Core i3-2120 @ 3.30 GHz

GPU: AMD Radeon R7 200 Series

RAM: 16GB

 

Just recently downloaded the latest drivers for my card so that I could run DAI. If you all need other specs I can fetch them, those were just the most relevant ones I could think of and easily get.

 

Edit: My card does have Mantle which I hear could help. I currently have it running on DirectX so that may be making it run slower.

My only recommendations are setting Effects Quality to Low; spells and FX appear more natural, and it aids FPS. And I believe it is Textures to High or above to improve the appearance of hair (seek confirmation on the latter tip).

Shadow quality, Post-Process quality, Ambient Occlusion have a big impact on performance. Try lowering these options. Keep Multisample AA off. Also try playing in Windowed Fullscreen. With your system specs, try to set Shadow at medium or lower, PP medium or lower, AO at SSAO or off. You can probably leave the rest on Medium to High. See how that goes and if it's still good in FPS, try setting some of them to Ultra.

I would also like to mention that out of curiosity I fired up Mass Effect 3 on maximum settings on my PC and i've been playing it without a single hiccup, it runs flawlessly. The fact that I can't even play DAI smoothly on the lowest settings possible kind of dumbfounds me.

Your specs sound like a laptop...AMD R7 200 Series...hmm. Laptops don't make great gaming machines, but anyways that's just my opinion.

 

Yep, just throw everything on low. Try to keep meshes on ultra. Ambient Occlusion off. Tesselation off. MSAA off. Shadows as low as possible. Effects Quality look horrible unless on medium or high I think. Everything else low. Bring textures up a bit from low depending on your framerate preference.

It's a new game-engine. Upgrade your computer to modern specs and I promise you, you will not need to upgrade until next console generation. That's the way of things. Don't get mad, learn or go play consoles... and i am sorry if that sounds rude.

Is there any difference at all between 2x and 4x MSAA? I haven't noticed a difference when I swap other than that it dumps me from 65 FPS to like 45 (ballparking - I don't measure FPS formally).

Isn't that dual core CPU? Pretty sure DAI need a quad core.

[AlanC9]

A hyperthreaded  CPU can fake it. You need four threads, not four physical cores.

You might want to check out this thread I created, maybe the advice in the OP will make your game run a little bit better: http://forum.bioware...the-pc-version/ 

[DragonAgeLegend]

The game doesn't look all that terrible on lower settings. (depending on what you set)

i3 for gaming is a big no no....

[Farangbaa]

Do people don't read system requirements any more?

i3... my goodness.

[Grimez7]

I went to canirunit.com and it said I merry the minimum specs and only one thing kept me from the recommended settings.

Unfortunately, there's no real magic switch that will make the game run awesome on your system.

 

New processor = $200-250

New motherboard = $100-200

New power supply = $100-150

New videocard = $250

New ram = $100

New case = $100

SSD HD = $100

 

About $1000 for a good modern rig. You may get better deals on slower/cheaper components, but in general, I think it's about right if you need all of that. Of course video card is one of the most important, nothing lower than a GTX-760 or R9-280... add an extra $150 if you go for the GTX-970 videocard (totally worth it if you really want to run everything at blazing speeds for many years to come) 

 

or about $400 for Xbox One or PS4

[Grimez7]

Yeah, I'm fine on ram and memory. It's basically just the processor and graphics card that need upgrading. I'm going to stop by the local computer store and see what they have in stock, if not that then I'll go with newegg.
