Guild Wars 2

When I’m in the Black Citadel, FPS drop to <5 every two minutes or so, looking at Afterburner monitoring is see that the GPU clock didn’t drop but GPU usage is suddenly constantly at 100% (GTX 670, 310.33 beta briver). After Alt-Tabbing back into the game, everything is normal again for a few minutes, then it happens again. I can reproduce that massive drop by going through a tunnel near Hero’s Canton / Canton Factorium, happens everytime there. Also happened a few times on exiting through the mustering ground portal. Never happened anywhere else in the world so far. Settings are all maxed, including supersampling (no FPS problems elsewhere, except WvW where I have to reduce the settings).

I’ll second this bug report. I’ve been experiencing significant frame rate drops while in Black Citadel. I haven’t seen this kind of drop in performance anywhere else in the game. (running a Nvidia GTX 650 card)

Me too – running GTX670 driver 306.23 – drops to 5 fps when entering the Black Citadel – I have to drop the video down to lowest level to continue. Otherwise all settings maxed with no problems elsewhere.

I also have significant fps problems in The Black Citadel area. I can run the game maxed out everywhere except for there. I am running a GTX 670.
