Hi all,

Recently start playing Blade and Soul. But even with the lowest setting in blade and soul 1(1-5).
I am getting low fps(20-40fps) when there are lot of character around, and sometime while hitting monster the fps will drop too. Only get the capped fps of 60 when i am alone not moving.

Here my current Spec:

ASRock B75M-DGS
i5 3330 @ 3.00GHz
PowerColor HD7770 PCS+ GHz Edition 1GB
8GB RAM
SeaSonic S12II 520 Bronze 520W

Running the game on my Dell U2312HM (60Hz) monitor with the resolution of 1920x1080.

Is the graphic card not strong enough to support me playing Blade and Soul? Or could there be any other reason for getting this low fps.

What are your gpu temps, gpu clockspeed, and gpu usage % while playing the game??

Can you post a screen shot.

There you go......You see theres a massive drop in GPU usage % and it comes down to the 20s. This shouldnt happen. In normal load scenarios, gpu usage should never go below 90%.

Try to update to thee latest drivers and see if it helps.

The GPU usage only drop when alt-tabbed to take a screenshot. When i am moving and under combat it is constantly above 90%.
