Guild Wars 2

I upgraded my GPU from HD 7870 to RX 470 and my FPS got a significant drop from almost constant 60 fps to 7-18 fps. The GPU is installed in the correct location made a test with gpuz and i also tested the card with the witcher 3 and that game runs on contestant 60 with higher settings then i used before. I guess that the game think that i use the old GPU because all of my graphic settings are similar to what they used to be even after i uninstalled the game and installed a fresh copy.

Edit: removed the files from C:\Users\MyUserName\AppData\Roaming\Guild Wars 2
and the fps is still low.

Have you used the AMD Driver clean tool and reinstalled drivers? http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMD-Clean-Uninstall-Utility.aspx

I use display driver uninstaller to fully uninstall the driver. this utility doesn’t leave any residue files.

Make sure the gpu is working at pcie x16.

thanx Ansau tested the card with gpu-z again and i noticed that i missed something the card is running on PCIe 1 instead of 16, tried to update motherboard drivers but it the same, haven’t updated my bios yet.

PCIe 1x could mean it’s in the wrong slot or the slot is damaged. Are you able to switch to another? In addition, the card may not be in the socket all the way.

Thank you so much, it seems like the GPU or GPU electric cord weren’t all the way in their socket, i have PCIx 16 and the game run on 60 fps
I cant thank all of you enough for the help
