Guild Wars 2

I just upgraded my video card from a Radeon HD 5750, up to a Radeon HD 7850.Upon logging in, I noticed that my FPS wasn’t any better. In fact, it’s worse!

Standing in the middle of the Black Citadel cuts my FPS all the way down to 20. I’ve installed the latest drivers and overclocked it to max. What irks me is, according to AMD control center, only 45% of my video card is in use, and roughly 70% of my CPU is.

How can I fix this? I didn’t pay 160 bucks to have my game run -worse-. So strange.

Did you reinstall the drivers or update them to a current version? Are you running that add on everyone keeps talking about that improves the look of games (don’t remember the name).

Game Booster? That doesn’t help. I have the latest drivers. I’ve done everything listed under the “low fps” thread. Still nothing.

Massive framerate drop when I turn around. It stays at about 20 fps until I turn to face the building with the trading post dudes, then it goes up to a nifty 50 fps.

I’m using am AMD XF-4100 Quad-Core. Windows 7 64-bit, and 8 gigs of RAM (As well as my shiney new Radeon card, of course).

I started up Battlefield 3, a very graphically demanding game. Turned it to max, got about 45 fps in an empty server. Huge step up from my old card. That game also maxed out my GPU and CPU usage, something Guld Wars 2 doesn’t do, as I mentioned.
