GW2 Hogging all my CPU (AMD Phenom 925)
Some quick ideas….
Is GW2 actually seeing bad performance in game? If so what symptoms?
Run a virus scan and clean up anything it finds
Disable any other programs that aren’t necessary (iTunes etc)
Run GW2 in fullscreen mode
Lower the in game settings
I also read somewhere here that at this stage GW2 shouldn’t run on an overclocked computer. Not sure if you have OC’ed or not.
What are your PC specs? (ram, GPU etc)
Err, what’s the problem? So GW2 is using your processor… Do you want it to run on air?
Not to sure what your getting at.
GTX 6GB Titan@1160Mhz
3007WFP@2560x16000
Specs are in the picture… and ya I guess if GW2 is using 80% of my CPU that’s all right I didn’t want to run anything else anyways. Ya the test is raw without anything else running but GW2 that actually takes up my CPU.
GW2 Doesn’t have any issues running on my OCed Phenom II X4 955BE @ 3.9GHz 3.2GHz is stock. Just to through that out there :P.
Also your temps are good at 41c 41c x 1.8 + 32 = 105.8F so your within a very safe limit, 60-62c is about the Max an AMD CPU likes to run at. Your GPU looks pretty *standard in terms of heat, 62c is common and you shouldn’t worry about that, if it hits 80c+ then worry :/. Also playing in fullscreen I have noticed is less taxing on the CPU, mainly because it’s more focused on the game then background programs.
You may also try this app to unpark your cores if game play is jumpy at all.

I do play in fullscreen, I just put it in the background so It would tax (somewhat) correctly on the CPU/GPU.
