I'm getting pretty good performance on a 3570k @4.4, with a 7970 Lightning. @ 1150/1500. I know there have been instances of people having poor performance with AMD cards, but I've yet to experience anything terrible.
The lowest I have seen it drop is 45/46 is full battle. I am running it at 1080, and Ultra settings.

Yep same here, with my system below I was dropping to 15-20fps in the biggest battles, shadows off and it's doubled my minimum fps, now seeing 30-40fps even in big battles.
Game does look slightly strange with no shadows, but still great looking
On the subject of optimisation - they're far from happy with how it is currently and it's one of their top priorities. Give it a few months and we should see some big changes, after all this game has a 5-7 year lifespan, it's just a newborn at the moment, keeping you awake all night, taking all your money

Here is a nice simple explanation of gameplay in planetside 2 especially for noobs like me. Gives a clear concise idea on how to play this game. 
When you hit 45/46, does it say CPU or GPU after you press ALT+F?
Is it more or do a lot of people don’t know what they teleport do, they seem to take a respawn point and instead of using a teleport to get into the base they run towards a one way force field they can’t get through
Some bases area little confusing, especially biolabs with the various generators, jump pads and teleporters.
But that's where a good outfit excels. Having 40+ guys immediately swap from tanks/heavys to lights and start jumping over the walls towards generators makes a bigger difference than 100's of the zerg randomly shooting everything.
Starting to regret choosing NC, constantly hemmed in at our warpgate on Connery server.
Normal day on my server :
Change continent. If the TR are penning both Vanu and NC like that they're bound to have lesser numbers elsewhere.

i5 2500k 6950 & 8gb ram & I get dips below 30fps with everything set to low
In another genre i might put up with it but not in an FPS
I have a I5 2500K and a 570 and it rarely dips below 40.
Was having some great fun on Woodman with my VS outfit earlier. Was smashing NC up, then TR joined the fight, went 3 way, was awesome. Hovering my liberator with rockets going all over the place while my gunners smashed them up. Got 18 Cert Points in about a minute or two!

Same on my server as well.
Anyone else seem to think the nights last longer than the days in this game, trying to spot VS at night can be troublesome!
God knows. Before I faced a a wait of 9 mins with several hundred queuing, not that bad I thought. Now there is only half that amount and the wait is 15 mins. The server crashed not long ago so might be because of that. The game overall seems to be improving each day, might take a few weeks before its rock solid.

Do you know a decent way to find an outfit? looked on the social panel and it only gives you the option to create one.
