Need help on FPS issues

N3GA769NYEN3GA769NYE
in TERA PC - General Discussion
I'm having my fps dipped into 4-6 during dungeon fights... on HW with 20++ people around 30-40, empty places at 80fps.

I've tried everything on optimization tweaks

Specs: MSI R9 380 4GB, I3-6100 3.7GHz, 8GB RAM
on windows10

Is my computer suppose to do this bad during dungeon fights??

    Tera is poorly optimized.

    What usually helps me is

    task manager > Right click tera (not the launcher) > go to details > right click where it brought you again > set priority > high

    Don't know if this works for other people but it helps me in fps gain increase.

    I have the same problem with a Sapphire R7 360, some guy on the forums mentioned that rerolling to older driver versions fixed it for him, however when I tried it didn't help me at all but you should try it out nonetheless. Seems like TERA hates the 300 series in general :(

    Problem:
    1st - Your GPU got bottleneck by your CPU.
    2nd - TERA runs heavily on CPU, not GPU.

    Solution:
    Firstly, upgrade your CPU to at least i5 or any equivalent CPU to match with your R9 380. i7 or equivalent are recommended.
    Second is optional, install SSD to boost even more your computer.

    Your computer is fine for games, the issue is TERA's Unreal Engine 3 with AMD Radeon GPUs. UE3 is notorious for favoring Nvidia GPUs, and there's not much you can do, sadly, to improve the game.
    Recently i switched from an old GTX 560 to a Radeon RX 480 and in TERA it seems almost the same performance, even lower in dungeons, with a graphics card that run more than fine newer games.
    You can try the dozens of internet topics about optimizing the game, just make sure to back up your config files and be aware that, most guides target Nvidia GPUs.
