Hello xlVampirelx,
The FPS issue is a well known issue. You can see how lower your graphics to low in Options>Video and see how that does.

You may also have better luck experimenting with the settings in your GraphicSettings.ini file; it seems pretty safe to experiment with, if you screw anything up you can just delete it and the game will make a new one with default settings. Some settings that might be worth trying for better performance (and may actually make the game look better with some cards) include:
· PostProcess=0
· RenderBloom=0
· TextureSize=0
· VolumetricShadow=0
· MotionBlur=0
· LodQuality=0
· ShdLodQuality=0
· AAQuality=0
· VSync=0 or 1
If you have an NVIDIA video card you might also want to try, disabling VSync in the game "0", and using Adaptive VSync in in the driver settings. Lastly if nothing is working; and your frame rates just stink, you can try the old Q3A trick of running the game at a lower resolution (but same aspect ratio/scale) as your display, and either disabling scaling in your drivers (if you don't mind a black boarder), or leaving it enabled, if you don't mind the smoothing and slight blur effect of up-scaling -- which can also be a nice 'cheap' substitute for anti-alias setting on some LCD displays, giving you even more of a frame rate boost with AA 'off' in the game and drivers.
