Why is this game so taxing on my PC!? and other...

A game like Neverwinter with sub-par graphics should run awesome on my pc, i play many other games, all of which i play on MAX graphics... except your game... Guild Wars 2, LOTRO, Rift, SWTOR, TSW, STO.. all on max graphics.. Neverwinter, no frikin way... and what is up with all the clipping, and glitches... NPCs sitting on the ground, and everything from thier knees down is underground... wheres the quality game design? You guys want us to pay AAA money, for a game that is just not up to par...

New Games tend to have optimization issues. In time it will stabilize.

Furthermore have you actually messed with the graphic settings? Sometimes the game does not properly detect your graphical capabilities and sets your graphics at a lower setting than it should.

While the graphics are stylized and that will always be subject to personal preference the graphics are not subpar especially compared to your list of comparisons.

I guess Sub-par was the wrong word to use, Not high end, like Guild Wars 2, this game does not compare a bit... and yes i jacked the setting to max, and lag soooooo bad

I run the game on max settings with no problems whatsoever

Also sub par graphics is your opinion, no the game isn't Crysis or BF 4 quality but few MMO's are...I will take NW look over the plastic look of most asian MMO's

Tell what you have. maybe someone can help. Runs well on mine.

*nods* Outside of Protector's Enclave it runs perfectly fine on my computer and even the PE lag is a recent issue which is a problem created by a patch IMO.

However graphics cards get very subjective and every single difference between two computers can cause incompatibility issues and increased graphical lag. Honestly any number of things could lower your frame rate and even in odd ways until all of the kinks are ironed out.

A friend of mine actually found his computer ran the game far better at low quality shadows rather than no shadows for some amazing reason. Tinkering around with the settings could greatly improve your experience!

But in the mean time it would be best to post some system specs to get an idea what could be causing the issues.

At least NW over-estimates my computer's capabilities drastically^^
I'm good at around 25% on the slider, while the game suggests 100%.

Firt I have ever heard that! Haha.
Normally it's the other way around and players log in with beast machines looking at images like this instead of this and are understandably quite upset!

See atleast some people can play with high graphics whereas my computer with its 16gb ram and great graphics card and stuff seems to not like neverwinters graphics and overheats the video card quite easily

What DirectX? I gather some say the older works better with some cards.. I'm just repeated what I've read. I run a Radeon card and its fine.
