FPS Issue, Please help me

^CPU only increases heat output if you shoot it with an increased # of volts. Unparking it would not increase heat

3 - Tera runs heavily on CPU, not GPU. It doesn't matter even you have GTX 1080 or AMD RX 480, it may only have little effect on Tera overall performance or FPS.

Would like to point out some GPUs can actually be the cause of low performance issues, especially freezing. There are some lower end Nvidia/AMD gpus that caused problems, with the problem going away with a different gpu and no other changes. I had a 960 reference card that had problems with Tera and replacing it fixed the issue. There was also an issue with an AMD card in dungeons like TS 2nd boss, or SS imp. For SS imp restarting prevented the issues which was an inconvenience but for cases like TS 2nd boss there was nothing that fixed it.

Yes, in some cases low-end GPU might have impact on overall but in my experience with many computer and laptop tested, GPU or graphic card have little impact on FPS in Tera.

I have AMD CPU and recently upgraded to SSD, my FPS just boosted from 10s to 30s.

yeah that's the good thing about SSD is the quick access to information compared to the HDD where it has to search longer. SSD indeed improves FPS/gets rid of freezing in a lot of games cause of loading assets faster.

Hello guys,

Sorry for posting just now
I am really thankfull for all your advices.

Yet still unfortunatly none of them helped me.

I unparked all cores (2 were parked before), tried to remove party buff icons and other stuff via engine .ini, tried to use the comand -USEALLAVAILABLECORES at tera shortcut, but nothing really helped me.

During some tests, I observed that my CPU usage is really very stable, its in the range of 40~45% no matter if im i'm dungeons or in the world, and regardless of which setting I use (lowest or max). Seems like for some reason the game is capping my cpu limit to this range of usage.

I might not be 100% sure about that, but I am noticing that its not even necessary to be in a party for my fps to drop, if I'm alone in island of dawn for example, my fps is ok and arround 40~80 with everything maxxed while fighting a monster, or 50~85 if im just walking arround. But it looks like that if someone simply shows on my screen, thats enough to make the fps drop to 35~50.

I just made a test, and I noticed that the simple fact of looking at a healing hp or mp mote made my fps drop 40~50. Being it 80~100 with lowest settings while looking at it and 120~150 without looking at it, but maybe it was just because that side of the map had more particles, idk.

I also think that tweaking the .ini file allowed me to achieve higher maximum fps with lowest settings (besides not afecting my average fps overall).

I also noticed that my FPS drop even fighting a bam, be it with lowest or highest settings.

But I guess all of these things are associated with the reason that my CPU won't pass the 40~45% usage.

I have same setup with weaker GPU and I get 60-100 at open world and 30-50 during boss fights. Thats with max graphical settings, everything else that involves characters, turned off.

Unpark your cores, that should help alot with fps. I tested running TERA with 3 cores and yeah, game uses 90%+ on all 3 cores, but I gained no fps and if you like to do stuff on a side, lag heaven.

Having lowest or highest settings via option menu have close to no effect for fps, everything turned off, i gained like 5 fps maybe.

I am really impressed with what ur saying, coz even with everything at the lowest possible settings I get an average of 20 fps during boss fights in dungeons. If u dont mind, could u monitor your CPU usage while in dungeons or even while playing in general and show me ?

Guys, I thank you all for all the support you guys are giving me,
In truth I didn't expected to have even half the support I am having.

Thanks everyone,
have a nice day.

My CPU usage is same as yours, atm I playing with my old GPU, Ati Radeon HD 3870 which is 8 years old. New one is at warranty and I'm having pretty much same fps, but everything at lowest cause otherwise fps will be pretty bad and GPU would overheat really fast.

Don't use AMD Turbo in BIOS, it cause stutter and freezes as it isn't stable with core speed. Just overclock to 3.8ghz and should be good to go.

Check your videocard 3d settings, maybe something turned on there that can cause lower fps.

All in all, I don't have that amazing fps, battlegrounds are nightmare still, huge fights can drop me to 10-20 fps and for some odd reason, ninjas cause quite noticable fps drop/stutter. Usual brawler/gunner/reaper makes lower fps, but no stutter/freezes.

In setting, set "Real-Time Optimization" to 0.
Why?
0 = Means optimization is on, kill the shadows completely thus more FPS and less lag stutter.
1 and above = No optimization means more details on characters, others player character and shadow are always on, hence lag.
