    If this is worth for anything:
    I've literally always had the same FPS, even with varying temperature between 70 and 90°c on my graphics card (really, there was times it was THAT dirty and clogged), and my upgrade from Windows 7 to 10 was only beneficial for my SSD's stability, the rest didn't change at all.
    Literally the FPS stayed the same.

    Same for graphical tweaks on the .INI files. Never made a difference for me, or if they did it was so minimal I didn't bother keeping them. Hiding UI also no change, but yes I also have huge FPS dips when lots of people are on the same region. But only time it goes single digit is CS and FWC start rush, other moments it goes ~24 FPS and nothing bellow. Even Velika emote spams and such.
    Hardware stayed the same ever since I started, FPS as well, driver versions updated and downgraded left and right, nowadays latest.

    I've not had the chance to try out K-TERA or J-TERA to know tho.

    I've noticed a lot of Tera's FPS issues for my cousin, my friend, and myself comes from slow loading of resources (textures, player models, ability animations, etc) and that once those are all loaded you can get pretty respectable FPS, even in dungeons.

    As long as Tera doesn't have to load a handful of other different people doing a lot of abilities then I can actually do my IOD bams at around 50-80fps most of the time. However once another player (ie: new resources to load) gets close and starts doing stuff my FPS tanks until effectively, they're fully loaded into the game. Once they are, my FPS stabilizes back to where it was and things are fine again.

    If you don't have one already you may want to look into upgrading whatever hard drive you run Tera on to an SSD (or just add one to your computer and move Tera to that SSD). Their load times are significantly faster than traditional mechanical hard drives, and depending on how much RAM you have in your computer, it may be a good idea to allocate Pagefile usage to that said SSD which will help Tera's performance if you are starting to reach the limits of your RAM. You can do it with a normal mechanical HDD but it's extremely slow, doing it on an SSD is infinitely better and far more recommended.

    Not to mention you can usually get a 250Gb SSD for around $100 at most online computer hardware retailers (or Micro Center if you have one near you). This is doubly-true here soon when Black Friday/Cyber Monday hits if you live in the US. I bet you could score a good 250Gb Samsung EVO SSD for under $80 that weekend.

    That's one nice tip, as since start, I've always played this game on an SSD indeed. And can also confirm that the instances of data load slow down the game as well.
    Just one thing I would NEVER EVER in my entire life recommend, is moving page file to the SSD, or worse even, relying on it.
    SSDs have a finite lifespan in write cycles, and placing the page file there would increase dramatically the write operations to the drive, ultimately making it's life span considerably shorter.
    If I recall I literally have about ~250MB of page file here only for the error reports to work, and nothing else. Also hiberfill moved to mechanical one or none at all.
