Following your forum post, first of all I'd recommend disabling scalers as criezy suggested.

You can enable an FPS counter for AGS games (in "Game Options"), it'd be interesting to know how many FPS you get on average, i.e. in the main menu and intro of Unavowed which uses several graphical effects. You can also try toggling the VSync setting.
