Guild Wars 2

Twice already the frame rate suddenly drops to single digit rates. And no, it’s not because I’m in the middle of a Teq battle. I am in a Personal Story instance and then the game suddenly slowed down. I checked the CPU use, the client’s not eating a lot of resources, checked the GPU temp, under normal temps, run a Just Cause 2 benchmark test, it runs normally. I’ve also noticed that while in Lion’s Arch, my FPS is around 20-30, when before it was around 40-50. I have an nVidia GTX 680 and an Intel i7-3770k rig. My graphics settings are set at Best Appearance and I set the Character Model Limit to highest, but I turned off Antialiasing and the Character Model Quality is on Lowest. What could be causing this decrease in frame rate?

It wasn’t like this before. Now even with the lowest settings, I get around 30-40 frames per second even in Lion’s Arch, sometimes dipping to 10s digit. This is on lowest settings. It wasn’t like this before. Maybe you changed some things to make it “look better”, but it’s just causing a massive drop in the frame rate.
