Guild Wars 2

Game runs at around 12-25 fps on max in lions arch I can get to around 40-50 open world. I thought a 7950 could handle this game as it does fine in everything else. Below I attached a dxdiag hopefully to gain some insight to why this game is running so terribly.

It’s most likely not the graphics card it comes down to. It’s the CPU.

I’m using a i5-3570k @ 4.0ghz thought that’d be enough to I could OC it more just didn’t really feel a need to for other games.

Set culling settings to.

Character Limit: Highest
texture Limit : Medium.

Set Reflections on Terrain and Sky.

Other settings can be what ever u like.

Check ur CPU usage (including per core usuage) during the low FPS.

Sitting in lion’s arch with the setting changes you said I am around 60% cpu usage and with preset for best appearance I am around 70%.

I’d look into seeing if your CPU’s being throttled because of an unstable overclock.

And with those settings whats ur FPS ?

For reference, with the current Halloween content online and a busy LA, i can sit looking at the MF with around 45 – 50 FPS engine limited.
Broker 40-60 more the closer i get to the NPC’s.
Worst case, northern Waypoint bridge lookign towards MF, ~33 FPS.

1 of my 12 threads hitting 90%-95% usuage
2 of my 12 threads at around 75%
9 of my 12 threads at 15-30% usuage.
(this coincides with the fact GW2 has 1 main thread, 2 secondary threads, and roughly 40-50ish small minor threads. All of which have ot shared acroos the CPu cores/threads.)
GPU usuage 50-75%

Using the following settings.
All settings Except Reflection which are on Terrain and Sky, are MAX. Including SuperSampling. At a Downsampled resoultion of 3200×1800.
With culling set to:
Character Limit: Highest
Texture Limit : Medium.
