Guild Wars 2

I have a moderate setup.

i7 – 4790 @ 3.6 GHz
16G RAM
GeForce GTX 760Ti OEM

Before a recent patch either late November / early December, I was running pretty much max graphics settings and self capping at 60FPS. If i took off the self cap…I would usually run between 45-100FPS. These numbers and settings were fairly consistant from March 2015 till recently. Then for no apparent reason, I have to run my graphic settings in game about low-mid tier in most categories and struggling to maintain 25-27 FPS. If I try to run higher settings again…I tank to 10-15 FPS.

Is this a known issue within GW2 or is there an external fix (all my video drivers are up to date as well as all windows updates complete). Thank you all for your insights.

My speed did not drop due to any recent patch.

I had an FPS drop when I started using the 64 bit client but this turned out to be my Raptr game optimizer decided to raise game to highest quality from balanced.

FPS after was 40 and prior was just under 80.

I also had a period of time where I had horrendous FPS. Pinging was well over 2000 to server but I found pinging anything was over 2000. I dealt with this for a time until I lost my connection entirely. This turned out to be a bad cablemodem\ router.

If it worked fine before then i suspect your CPU is overheating due to dust, especially if you have pets, you need to clean it often.
