Since there is so much lag in Tiamat and Well of Dragons for many people and some people saying they odn't have any at all ... can I ask people to post what they have in the machines and if they have lag or not?

I have the following:
FX9370 @ 4.40Ghz
AMD 7970 3GB Gigahertz edition video card
8GB 1866 RAM
ADATA S900 SSD 120GB boot drive
x2 Seagate 7200RPM 2TB HD in raid 0

As far as I am concerned there isn't anything that I can't run at high if not max settings.

I also have COX internet @ 50Gbps speeds and my ping is somthing like 30 - 50 ms.

I'm wondering if the people who don't have lag are running intel CPU's with nvidia cards?

    i7 4700HQ @2.4ghz
    DDR3L 1600 MHz SDRAM, 16 GB
    Nvidia GTX860m
    Crucial CT240M500SSD1

    Settings at low to mid provides no lag unless more than 2 DC's are present in a tiamat raid.

    (barring random network problems)

    CPU: FX 4100 @ 4.2 Ghz
    GPU: AMD HD 6850 1GB
    RAM: 8GB 1600Mhz DDR3
    Game is installed on a 250GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD.
    Internet connection: 500 Mbps DL, 30 Mbps UL

    WoD runs fine even during dragons. ToT is okayish unless there are a bunch of DCs, but i use /unlit 1 in ToT so that helps a bit too.

    Settings:
    Display
    Graphics
    Advanced

    Turns off lighting completely. It looks pretty bad, but the FPS gain is worth it, at least for me.

    From the Wiki:
    Turns off all lighting on objects and sets the ambient to the specified value

    unlit 0 to go back to normal I'd assume?

    Thanks for the info.

    CPU: Intel Q9300 @ 2.8
    GPU: NVIDIA 660 GTX (2 GB version)
    RAM: 4x2 GB DDR2 @ 800 (in dual channel)
    HDD (game is installed on): Toshiba 2 TB @ 7200 rpm
    Inet: fiber 200/20 Mbps

    All graphics @ MAX settings, 1680x1050, with world and char texture details down to 75% because of texture lag started since M5. Tiamat, after recent patches, runs pretty dang good even at max settings :cool: During dragons in WoD, if lag appear (still not sure if it's a DC astral seal fault), I setup all stuff at lowest settings directly using GPU-CPU sliders. After that, I'm back to max/high settings, very smooth when soloing.
    Internet speed wise - no prob, all smooth 99.9%

    Do you guys have some other useful command for the FPS gain?

    I am playing from a MacBook Pro 15'', late 2011, with WineSkin port.. So you can imagine how critic the situation is here! :D

    CPU: Intel Core i5 2,53 Ghz
    GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 256 MB
    RAM: 4GB 1067 MHZ DDR3
    HDD: 1TB

    Settings of the game almost all low.. Still lagging/frame dropping in the Protector’s Enclave, Guntalgrym and in the past couple of days in the Dominy as well (it used to be my heaven place with no lag and all fun :'( ) crowded maps like those.. :|

    AMD phenom II x4 3.7ghz
    Nvidia gtx 550 ti
    4 gb ram
    60 gb ssd
    64 bit linux os
    installed via wine and playonlinux

    I run at max settings and I rarely have any lag. Usually, the only lag I have is in the enclave and even that is rare.

    Intel i7 4770K 3.5 Ghz
    16 GB RAM
    2x GTX 780 (Asus ROG Poseidons) in SLI
    64 Bit Windows 8.1

    I run near max settings and do have any FPS drop in Tiamat...or anywhere else. Just hideous and annoying graphic glitches. :mad:

    One of the only things I do drop down and I should bug Cryptic to adjust is the default physical debris objects. Many decent systems has this default to 300 which will cause frame drops even on my system. Dropping this to 50 relieves any issue for me (I could probably go higher but frankly I don't think it makes a huge difference in visuals) but many people will even turn this off.

    If this doesn't stop frame drops then be sure to check shadows, lighting, antialising and post processing. For the most part the order I supplied is most demanding to least demanding so tinker with the settings of each manually to see if you get any improvement.

    You are below the minimum recommended specs...which seemed to have changed to an unrealistic setting...going to have to check up on why...

    Before the switch to Arc the minimum power GPU was a Geforce 8800. This is your GPU.

    Wow! Is that always been like this? I think I have checked it when I downloaded the game!

    This is exactly what I did before. Had near 0-1 fps lags with debris >0, but since M5 or a few last patches... I can't see debris to cause those major fps drops anymore :confused: As I said before and, of course, without extensive tests, I switch all stuff directly to MIN when I see massive fps drops. I've tried to adjust individual sliders like shadows and so on, and couldn't see a 100% solution :confused: And with my specs it's very difficult to do this test while soloing, need more ppl (i.e. during dragons in WoD)
