I have a pretty much top of the line system and was only getting 7fps on maps when in combat. Not in combat I was only getting around 15-20fps. The game was pretty much unplayable.

pertinent specs:
Intel i7-3820 @ 4.9Ghz
16GB DDR3 RAM running at 2036Mhz
2x ATI 6870 in crossfire
128GB SSD was well as multiple HDDs
Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Champion Series

Messing with the .ini file as well as turning down detail didn't help at all.

I had also been watching CPU usage during the game and it was only getting to about 10%.

I was also watching the Windows performance monitor and was seeing how the CPU speed was jumping all over the place because of normal power saving features.

I decided to go ahead and change the minimum CPU state to 100% in the power settings in the control panel.

Went back into the game, and now get a steady 90fps no matter where I am on a map as well as in-combat.

CPU usage has also jumped up to around 26%.

It seems like the game engine is for whatever reason not making windows bump up the CPU speed properly.
