So GW2 is confusing the hell out of me atm. I built my computer which I feel is pretty dam powerful. When i use the auto detect graphics feature the lag is unreal when near 30-60 people. Could this be a faulty component or the normal for this game?
Your Pc is not the problem. It’s on Anet side so don’t worry it’s normal. You could have the most powerful PC in the world but with 4 gpus and it will still run the same.
Download a program called GPU-Z, put GW2 into windowed mode -Fullscreen, and then run GPU-Z while GW2 is running and make sure that the Bus is 16x version 3 @ 16x version 3. If it is then pop over to the sensor tab and make sure your GPU Clock/Memory are running at the specific clocks.
Download a program called CoreTemp and make sure your CPU is not overheating (shouldn’t be above 80c’s with a stock intel cooler, 100c it will throttle), and make sure its clocked correctly (4.2-4.3ghz with Turbo enabled, 4.4ghz on a single core at times. If its running at 800mhz -1.7ghz or so then you are throttling and that will affect performance.
If you look at my sig, you’ll see I have a pretty similar setup. I run at 2560×1600 though and Ill get 120FPS+ on max settings in open world, 35-40FPS during Boss events, and split the difference for FoTM/Dungs. But just being near 60 Players (mind you out of combat) doesn’t drop me below 60~ FPS.

Looks like you are running windows10? I know Nvidia and win10 have driver issues due to MS pushing out updates how they do. If you hop over to the tech forum there are posts on how to solve that with Nvidia. I’ll bet its a driver level issue with your GPU.

Oh really now?!?! I never played GW2 with this machine while I had windows 7 still. I need to run to a couple stores, will try in 30 minutes or so.

yea, For windows 10+ Microsoft is updating every aspect of the system now, even drivers, unless you tell windows update not to. And the latest Nvidia drivers and windows 10 are having a lot of issues.
The quick and dirty fix is to disable Windows Update from pulling down drivers, use DDU to wipe out Nvidias Drivers (not the Intels if you are using that HD4600), and then manually download the LAST version of Nvidias drivers. As many are having luck going that around (across many many games, not just GW2).
But depending on your 980Ti’s Bios version you may need to try different Driver versions until the issue is either fixed, or an acceptable balance for ya.
P.S. this is why i run AMD gpus, never run into these issues :-)

Any chance you have a link to the post? Keyword searches for Nvidia and Windows 10, together or separate, are not giving me any results.

You have to use Google to search. There’s a sticky or two about that.

Good luck.
Got it lol. Just google searched how to stop windows 10 updating all drivers etc..

Update: I did all the stuff to stop the drivers getting updates, DDU the old drivers out and installed a fresh install manually of the newest drivers. Same problem. Weird stuff is happening now tho, when I enter combat ill crash to about 40 fps get some studdering and then go back up to 80 when I’m all alone.
