In shroud part 5 today in a full group. Just after everyone gets resurrected I got hit my massive graphic lag. CTRL+F showed 0.0 fps for 10 mins. I couldn't do anything, just hear bits of combat sound. The lag ended only when all the other players in the group had left. Then I was able to loot my chests. Meanwhile, my system was doing fine: 30% CPU usage, 70% RAM usage, I even started watching a TV show and browsing the internet waiting for the lag to end.

It was the first time this happened in almost 4 years.

Doesn't sound like a graphics issue to me, sounds more like a network/connectivity issue.

Try tweaking your firewall settings , rebooting your router try connecting in a different manner. Ie if using the network port on your mobo try adding a new network card , if doing wifi maybe try a secondary source like a PCMCIA wifi card or a USB wifi.

My bro-in-law had the same kind Of issue crop up about mid January but his son plays so we could rule out the machine itself. Turned out to be Comcast wire issue.
His tv was fine and seemed like everything else was fine but DDO had major issues like you described above.

I'm not saying that is what your issue is, just saying it is eerily similar.

Try powercycling your router and use cable (if you're currently using wireless).
