I ASK UPON ALL PC EXPERTS, PLEASE HEED MY CALL
I call you all here today for an issue I am having.
Upon doing all I possibly could, My last resort is to ask YOU the people, the intelligent beings who might solve what I could not
Lets cut to the chase.
On my pc, with a decent cpu, and now great gpu. Tera runs at tops, 40 fps.
I recently made a whopping $520 investment into the new gtx 1070 ti gpu. In hopes that the game would run better compared to my old 1050 ti.
I was sadly
, as the game ran almost exactly the same.
Before the gpu upgrade even, I did a lot of tweaks to boost fps by doing things in the tera files and system ini etc etc.
I began to assume I MUST be bottlenecking my pc, but this can not be true. Because I saw a MASSIVE boost in fps in, overwatch, revelations, league of legends, pubg, paladins, and quite literally ALL other games i play.
My friends, what is happenning? Why am I unable to play this game that I really would like to play? Thank you for your assistance, my gratitude can not be measured.

This game is CPU hungry (like most MMOs actually)
And its old, not so GPU demanding
My GF just got a 1050TI and running 60 fps with a i5 7500 (4 x 3.6GHz) unless with lots of ppl in Velika/HW or my Brawler pulling all mobs in LKH.
Specifically what is your CPU? Tera cares far less about your graphics card than it does your CPU due to how this game is coded versus basically any other game. The reason you see such massive improvements in the other games is because they have a MUCH lower CPU load than Tera does, so most of the actual number crunching and 'heavy lifting' is done by your GPU in those games, hence the results you got.
Also are you at the max settings preset? Because I've noticed in Tera that even with the best systems the highest presets give god-awful frame rates. I've turned mine down to preset 5 with a few adjusted settings like max 30 characters, medium character and ability effects detail in dungeons and I have a very smooth 50+ framerate most of the time, and quite honestly, the game hardly looks any different than at max settings.
As for the system I run, I would think it's pretty conservative:
Ryzen 5 1600 (not OC'd)
16GB DDR4 2400Mhz (2x 8GB)
MSI RX 480 4GB (also not OC'd)
Tera is installed on a Samsung 850 EVO SSD
My options consist of:
Preset 5
Effects Level 3
Adjust Texture Resolution 1
Character Quality:
PC view distance 4
Max Chars 30
Character 3
Shadow 2
Background Quality:
5

Effects:

Travel Effects *NOT* checked

If you want, go ahead and give those settings a shot and let us know if things improved for you.
This, this, this. GPU barely makes a difference in this game unless you're upgrading from dirt to brand spanking new tech.
When I started playing tera, I had an AMD CPU that I got on sale and most dungeons ran like absolute trash. When I upgraded a couple of years later to a really basic intel i5 CPU, the improvement was so drastic that it felt like I was playing a totally different game.
Revelations saw a dramatic increase in fps from my gpu upgrade, and that game is arguably more open-world with more to render.
I hate to break it to you but your bottleneck is that CPU i had a AMD 8350 a while back and Tera ran like garbage this was when i had my 980Ti once i upgraded to the Intel Core i7 7700K there was a huge boost in FPS even with a 980Ti and it was not just Tera either all games got a significant boost now i run the 1080Ti and its better yet i play all my games at 4K thats why i got the 1080Ti but anything under 4K its not really worth having a 1080Ti honestly. So if you can i would just get a intel CPU you will notice a big difference out the gate i was a big AMD fan back in the days its all i would buy but since i broke down and finally tried a intel ill honestly never go back to AMD. With computer components these days you honestly get what you pay for its the way it is.
- Kill all your graphics settings, set everything to minimum and hope that it's low enough that you can get a stable amount of FPS in dungeon content.
- Overclock your CPU, heavily. Which may not be possible or recommended depending on your computer knowledge. If you want to continue using an AMD CPU it's probably your only way, but I don't think it's worth it unless you're being CPU bottlenecked in other games too.
- Get a high-grade intel CPU. If you want to run Tera optimally aiming for probably a 4-core with a really high base clock would be your best bet. But given you're already using an AMD CPU swapping to intel could cost you a lot of hardware replacing depending on your current setup.
Of course there is a secret 4th and 5th option. You could learn to live with it, or play a different game other than Tera. Realistically there's probably no hardware setup that's going to let you achieve more than 30-40FPS in crowded towns and a "stable" high FPS in dungeons with certain classes unless you nuke your graphics quality to the absolute minimum.
As stated above Tera is a CPU hungry game so if you deal with bad coding here and a bad line of processors, AMD received a tone of flak for those processors and even law suits for false advertising, the main reason why Intel had a monopoly on the processor market until recently.
Pretty much jump ship to Intel, my recommendation https://www.amazon.com/Intel-BX80684I38350K-Core-i3-8350K-Processor/dp/B0759FWJDK , very fast, high base clock, easy to overclock, great value overall, it's an i3 but the new generation, you get 4 physical cores with 4 logical, instead of 2 physical and 4 logical, how it used to be.
Tera has 80FPS cap line in the configs, unless you have for some dumb reason removed that- you are not getting the FPS you claim to get.
At best I get 110 fps at low settings and 30fps at highest.
Tera did seem to utilize the cpu alot more than my gpu.
So in my opinion upgrading or investing on a better pc wont help you out much unless the cpu is top notch. Tera loves intel for some reason.

your cpu seem old, do you think you can buy a new cpu for exemple ryzen 3 ?
at least a battleship gaming categorie
Not to go full-fanboy or anything but with AMD's new Ryzen CPUs, their IPC and single-core performance is extremely comparable to Intel's now and so OP will be perfectly okay running one of them. Along with the fact that their CPU's and motherboards are cheaper, they're a good lower-cost alternative to Intel's offerings. Just make sure not to get an R3 or i3 chip, quad-cores are going to get badly out-paced by 6+ core CPUs now that both companies are supporting them (meaning games in the future are going to start using more cores, meaning quads will fall behind putting you right back in this situation sooner than later).
I have an R5 1600 at its stock 3.2Ghz and it runs Tera perfectly fine even using an RX 480. If I pushed it to 3.8Ghz I imagine the game would run very smoothly, I just don't have the cooling for it (Node 202 doesn't have the most airflow).
