So autodetect runs everything at basically max besides character limit.
Running through black citadel with basically nobody in site but im dropping to 30-40 fps constantly, i have tried all these “tweaks” but nothing seems to make a difference.

Help?!?!?!
That’s normal, try to overclock the i5 a bit to get an increase.

GW2 profits alot from Ram overclocking too. You could try to overclock the Ripsjaws to 2200mhz cl10 with 1.65Voltage.
The 4690k should run at 4Ghz core and cache with Voltage (core and cache) set to 1.1Volt. My 4690k runs at 4ghz core and cache with 1.05Volt. It clocks up to 4.6ghz core (4ghz cache) with 1.22volt core, but for everyday use, 4ghz is enough for me.
Just google Haswell overclocking for guides.
My FPS mostly stays above 55FPS with some drops to 40FPS in the Black Citadel. I only have a small GPU (Nvidia 750 ti @1360mhz).

That looks amazing. I have the same 4690k (+R9 290) myself. I’m standing in the exact same spot as you with the exact same settings as your screenshot, and I’m getting 17fps! I mean I’m running stock right now (HWinfo showing 3.9ghz) but I didn’t think the difference would be that much.
What’s your CPU utilization? That’s one of the biggest problems for me. Mine is topping out at ~35% usage, and even the easy software pre-set overclocking to 4.5ghz, I still get the same fps performance – with the same 35% usage. Is something bottlenecking? I know it’s not thermal throttling as I have a Corsair H75 water cooler, average temps 50-55c. Any ideas?

My CPU Utilisation is around 55% at this spot.
I don’t know what the problem on your system is, i can only guess that the R9 290 series has some problems with GW2.
I have asked people in a Tech-forum with R9 290 cards if they experience the same problem. Hope to get answers soon.
I got an answer from someone with an Intel 4770k and AMD R9 290. He gets 60 FPS at that Ingame-location. So it’s not a general R9 290 problem.
Thanks for all the help, really. I’ve been playing with BIOS all evening with no change in performance. Toggling various items between enabled/disabled such as hyperthreading on/off.
The only thing I found interesting was that if I shut off all cores except for 1, that 1 core will run GW2 at 100% with similar 20 fps in Hoelbrak. I turn on 2 cores and it’s 50/50 usage. 3-4 cores will bring me back to 35% usage – all while retaining the same fps.
Totally bizarre. It’s as if the fps is dictating the cpu usage when it should be the other way around. It will only use the most minimum cpu usage to keep fps from reaching slideshow. For example, I will be roaming around with a 20-man zerg at ~25fps, then we run into 2x 40-man zergs from both servers in an all out battle royal in SM lord’s room, and I will keep 20 fps without a single stutter.
The only way to get above 30 fps is if I look directly at the ground or up at the sky – and that’s when my fps skyrockets to 100+ and usage goes to 65-70%. I’m probably gonna have to keep playing around in the BIOS when I get back from work.
While my cpus are pretty much locked at 35% usage during load (in GW2), my gpu usage is showing 100%. I’m not sure it’s my graphics card as I’m currently playing Crysis 3 and Farcry 4 at highest setting with no problems, but I will re-seat it anyway. Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll be reporting back when I get home to try it.
I have an Intel 5930k cooled with a custom XSPC full liquid loop running a 360mm X 80mm radiator (so heat is not an issue). I have 16GB of PC19200 DDR4 and 3x GTX 970’s in SLI (all up to date)
I barely get 30fps on all settings. When I switch some things; it’ll go to 100+FPS on High and drop right down to frame cap at 30 within seconds. I have no frame cap enabled and I really can’t figure it out.
I have the exact same issue. My computer is a custom build, top of the line machine. It can play all modern games, such as dragon age inquisition, on maximum settings with ease. Regardless of settings, I sit at or below 30 fps in every zone. GW2 has always been poorly optimized, but this looks to be a problem with new hardware and old software. My computer specifications can be found below.
