New PC, Terrible FPS
Make sure the gpu runs at pcie x16 speed.

This isn’t an issue with your PC. It’s GW2’s horrible optimization. I have the exact same specs, except a GTX 1080, and I get terrible FPS in events and cities as well.
It’s been a strongly desired feature that anet put in DX11 at least so it would be more GPU reliant rather than CPU, but they have yet to do anything about it.
So all those parts you have for your new PC? Practically useless in this game. Anyone who says “I get 60 FPS in populated areas and events on high” is a complete liar. =\ Just look it up a little bit on these forums, you’ll see.

Yeah obviously something is wrong, you should be getting much much higher FPS. You sure you are running the game with your GPU?

It that is the case why do players with less impressive rigs get considerably higher framerates? No, there is something not quite working with that rig and this game. Often it’s the GPU not waking up from x1 mode or a thermal throttling issue.
We are heroes. This is what we do!

Make sure you are running 64bit, I made the mistake of downloading the 32bit without realizing it. Had the same issues, insanely bad fps without knowing why. After futzing with it I found the issue was of my own doing.
If that doesn’t help then good luck to you, hope the figure it out.
Make sure you connected monitor to the GPU and not the motherboard. You wouldn’t be the first person that’s done that.
@Half Mystic that’s rubbish. He should be getting much better performance of that regardless of the state of the game’s overall performance. I was on my old 2600K and 970 combination.
Thanks for all the answers.
The monitor is plugged into the motherboard because i dont have any cable for the slot in the graphics card.
But i’ll fix it somehow

Ok so that means you are using the Intel Graphics and not your Nvidia card to render the Game.
Once you get your monitor plugged into the Nvidia card you should be good.

There’s your problem. Easy fix.
