Every single mmorpg I've played, whether it's Blade and Soul or WoW or any of them, I get really bad fps and I have no idea why. I know it's not network related, I have a 30mb down and 2.5 up connection. I took my rig to my friends place who has 100mb down and 25mb up with the fps and performance results still the exact same. I'll get 20-120 fps but soon as I get into crowded areas I linger at 20 - 40 fps. My buddy's rig has core i7 4770k @ stock settings and a gtx 660. He gets like 80+ at all times with max settings + 1920x1080 resolution.
My hardware:
Core i5 3570k @ 4.4ghz - Noctua NH-D15 Cooler
Gtx 770 x2 2gb windforce SLI - 16x PCI-E slots x2
Corsair 750 watt gold rated psu
Z77 Extreme4 Motherboard
Mushkin enhanced 1600mhz 8 gig dual channel memory
Samsung 128 gig SSD
1 Terabyte Western Digital HD secondary.
Asus 24" GTG 2ms 1080p HD Monitor. Single monitor.
I can run far cry 4 on ultra 1920x1080p @ 80+ fps constantly with 2-4x AA. Witcher 3 Maxed with 2x AA at 60-100 fps. Rarely drops to 50.
So why are all my mmo games running like crap regardless of the settings??? I can drop them to the lowest possible and it makes no difference, I'll still get 20-30 fps drops in town or anywhere else where he does not. I simply don't understand this issue. My rig is basically a power house machine that runs even the hardest games prime with AA and everything else. So I have no idea why it struggles so bad with mmos. Boss fights it'll drop to 15 fps when 8-10 people are beating on it.
