I am not sure if it is server load or some bug they improved/squashed, but my FPS has gone from 20-30 avg up to 60-90 avg.  Obviously the game is running smoother, which is helping the "combat feel" a ton.

I am not convinced yet that I like the "combat feel" yet, but it is 1000% better than any time before this evening.

Before my FPS was working well, I did try the Vram slider which didn't seem to help so I put it back to default.  About an hour later I logged back in to a different server and my FPS has been great.

10 minutes later...

I checked other server and it is fine too.  Although I went into a PQ area and there was probably 20 other players and FPS was dipping to 17 FPS even on lowest setting.  This is a big concern being that the game is based around large scale PvP.

Back to more beta...

i do not see how can you get 90 fps and 17.. on same pcs.. i never had fps dropping due players.. i wont even mention that most scenarios are caped on 100 fps.. and only in mob puplated " fancy "  looking zones i drop to 50~  . sli support in this game is far from good.. sadly,  i should be able to run aa on 16 but i cant..  ( i could in aoc.. )

Mob areas didn't seem to effect me at all tonight, but players did.  I'll fraps a lil of it later if I find the time, you can get FPS to show up on FRAPs vids yes?

EDIT:

I didn't do video but did Benchmarking with it for just over 20 min.  This was pretty much all NPC, in High Elves Starter area.
