My configuration

Intel i7 7600
Geforce 970m
Ram 16gb

I was playing few months a go till it started lagging like crazy. Today I join to see if any of the patches maybe fix it but it is the same thing. On performance mode I have 90+++Fps then 30 and the 7. Then it is on 30 and going up and down like crazy. Impossible to play. Then I installed Hackintosh in order to test there. Same thing exactly. Is there any fix or I wasted my money buying a game?

Sounds like Thermal Throttling to me, assuming it’s a laptop, since it has a mobile card.

Have you looked at your temperatures lately? Opened it up and cleaned it in the past 6 months?

All of those games are pretty light compared to GW2, besides Tera and Blade and Soul.

But that could still be the case. Gw2 heats up my CPU more than TW3 or GTAV, for example.

Download Speccy and let it run for a bit when you play. Take a screen shot of the temps after a few minutes and up to at least 10 minutes if you can.
Provide results and we can confirm or move to a new prognoses.

I am not sure if you consider 85 c. Temps for throttle. I think they should be 90+.

It’s the CPU I was more worried about and you’re right at the limits of thermal throttles.

GPU can withstand more heat but 85C is way too hot IMO.

Clean that puppy out.

So I cleaned inside and repasted cpu and gpu. Temps are low. But still, fps is ridiculous

Can you get GPU-Z, run it while you are also running GW2 and get a screenshot of some of the tabs. That will help narrow down some of the issues.

As Ellienna said, take a screenshot of first and second tab of GPU-Z. Showing Gpu load, without info about clocks or bus speed says nothing.

The important bit of information these guys need is this red box
