15 FPS at best on good machine
Make sure the gpu is running at pcie 3.0 x16
i7 5775c @ 4.1GHz – 12GB RAM @ 2400MHz – RX 480 @ 1390/2140MHz
Just checked with GPU-Z, it is using that.
I’ve also noticed only one core seems to really be getting utilised?
In a i7 you should see 2 threads being used around 70-90% with others at 30-70%. There’s clearly something not working well. Try a few things:
- Repair the gw2 client.
- Close all other useless software (mouse/keyboard client, p2p, spotify/itunes…).
- Put gw2 priority to high or real time.
- Reinstall graphic drivers (use ddu to uninstall), or try older drivers.
- Re-seat the ram and make sure it is not faulty.

I’ll give those things a go and report back! Thank you!
Make sure you plug the monitor into your external AMD card and not into the internal one that is provided on the mainboard backplane.
Well, I tried all the above with no difference, with the exception of the ram. I opened up the case, removed and replaced it, and now it’s all running smooth as a dream. Lowest FPS is 30 in densely populated areas with everything on the highest possible setting.
Thanks for the help guys!
