Need help with FPS issue! Thanks :)

Hi guys

My FPS is unusually low on this game... I have around 20-30 FPS on Medium to Ultra graphics and around 50 for minimum graphic, with a ROG g751JT... The issue gets worse as I enter areas with more graphics and went as low as 1 FPS in a NMR.

I have:
GPU: Nvidia GTX970M
CPU: i7 4720HQ
Ram: 24GB
Windows 8.1 64 bit

My friend has a Lenovo Y50 with:
Nvidia GTX860M
i7 4720HQ
16GB ram
Windows 10

And he runs perfectly fine with high FPS at at least 40 on ultra graphics even in the same NMR I was in...This made me realise I had an issue.


my rift.cfg:

[Client]
CombatLogFileFlushInterval = 0.500000
DocumentsDirectory = C:/Users/User/Documents/RIFT
DriverVersionHigh = 524305
DriverVersionLow = 793067
EULA = 302
HasFocusMinFrameTime = 1.000000
LogCombatConsole = False
LogConsole = False
LostFocusMinFrameTime = 100.000000
ThreadAffinityMain = 0
UseQueryPerformanceCounter = True


Done these: (but didn't help)
Ensure “Power Management Mode” is set to “Prefer Maximum Performance” in the NVidia control panel.
Ensure "Anti-Aliasing" and "Anisotropic Filtering" are set to"Application Controlled" in the NVidia Control Panel.
Ensure "Transparency Anti-Aliasing" and "Ambient Occlusion" are set to"Off" in the NVidia Control Panel.

Appreciate any help! Thanks!
