I didn't necessary realize this was using the planetside 2 engine. I literally quit playing planetside 2 because that game ran like poo poo even after I upgraded my CPU. No modern game should be bottlenecked by CPU to give you good graphics.

I'm getting 20-30fps on an ATI HD6970, w/intel i5-3570K OCed to 3.4ghz. I receive similar framerates in Planetside 2. I'm guessing part of it is the use of voxels and having to render so much information, but still.

Really wish there was a better way to tweak graphics settings other than the Planetside 2 tweaks. View distance doesn't improve framerate at all.

You might want to let the PC building thread know. Last I checked they still recommended i5s.

Yeah I have that same cpu and PS2 runs great, 80fps+ in firefights.

edit - for reference my video card is a 7870. In Landmark I get like 40 fps on high settings. Its a bit slower than PS2 at this point.

Have you played PS2 recently? They did a big performance patch back in November that might've helped. I doubt it's your CPU since I run it flawlessly now (max settings from the .ini file from the PS2 thread) with my almost five year old AMD Phenom II (3.2Ghz quad-core) now whereas I used to have constant hitching (potentially also tied to upgrading from 4GB to 8GB of RAM). I'd guess your more likely culprit is either not having 8GB of RAM or the three year old GPU. I wouldn't count on Landmark optimization for awhile though.

I think it's mostly a RAM issue with this game engine. I tried loading this up on a decade old computer with 2g of RAM to see what would happen. Slideshow would be an understatement. At one point I saw Jabro, then for another frame, and then he was gone. Even though I could move the FPS counter actually said zero at times.

Anyone playing with some high speed/end ram like 32g of 2600+? I', assuming it runs like butter.

Do you mean different server or are there different continents per server.

Yesterday was my first time playing, not counting the first half hour after opening of closed beta.

Yes, each server has different Tiers which consist of higher levels of resources. You have to go to certain biomes to get particular items to harvest such as palm heart from the palm trees in the tropical biome. Ore and gems are standard and increasing in level across all biomes as Tier increases but not all plants are. So choose the proper biome from the list that grrarg posted above and then teleport to there from the spires. Hope that helps.

I've got 24gb of ram, an i7 4770, and a geforce 770, running at 1440p with ultra settings its usually only around 40-50 fps, I think there's a lot of optimizing they need to do.

It's not the computer. I'm White Shadow. I move so fast all you see is my shadow.

I am on Rebellion server. How does the server changes work? Can your character transfer over to another or just templates or do you have to make a whole new guy?

You can go to whichever server you want, transfers are handled in game at the spire things. Your templates are a part of your account and go where you go.

It's mostly Shadows. Take that down to Medium or Low. I run a Core i5-2500K with a GTX 770 and I sit rock solid at 60 with shadows down to medium.

Checking GPU usage, the difference is 60% usage with Shadows on Medium vs. 100% with it on Ultra.

I want to turn down shadows but I'm afraid it will get rid of Ambient Occlusion which is incredibly necessary to try and get some depth perception while mining or digging holes.

I just got to the highest tier tools, everything I've crafted so far has been green except my gold axe. I think this is payback for getting a legendary rubicite pick on my first try in alpha.

I don't remember what the stat range for a green Keen-Eye Band is, but I have a blue one with 1.5 Discovery on it. My green Assessor's Marks (craftable at an Outfitter's Table) have 3.3 and 3.6 Discovery on them in comparison.

I'd just craft 2 Keen-Eye Bands and use whatever you get, AFAIK there's no penalty on using 2 items with the same stat bonus, so just double up on whatever you need most. You can go pretty fast if you double up on speed boost items and it only takes a couple of seconds to put on your Discovery stat items when you've found what you wanted to mine / harvest.
