Low framerate with GTX 970 / i7 4790k
Not sure if this will help you, but it worked for me:
1. Run GW2 using the 64bit client on Windows 7 compatibility
2. Re-seat your GPU (take it out and put it back in again)
3. lower LOD, this actually does more harm than other graphic details like model/spell quality
Planning on upgrading to a GTX980ti by late 2016
A GTX 970 is very capable of max LOD. o _Oa

It is, but it’s one of the safest things to try out without knowing his diagnostics.

Hi Dynath,
Its worth checking a couple of things here. First check the temperatures of both your CPU and GPU. These will have protection measures were they scale back their performance if a temperature threshold is reached in order to protect the hardware.
If this is the cause then cleaning out the dust/debris from inside the PC and re-applying new thermal solutions to both the CPU/GPU could help. There should be plenty of online guides already for this task.
Secondly, Nvidia graphics cards have been known to not detect GW2 as a “fullscreen application” and remain to increase their performance to match. Other GW2 players have mentioned that forcing the graphics card into “performance mode” in the Nvidia 3D game settings might resolve this.
Hope this helps.
