I have a 3570k (4.4ghz) with a GTX770sc OCed to nearly 1300mhz (1283 I believe) but this only fully kicks in under load, it usually stays around 1100. GW2 runs great (60fps@1080p) normally but in zergs or certain cities it can start dipping into 40s. This is fine and to be expected but for some reason my card never throttles above 1100mhz in this game.
Is there a setting in game or an Nvidia profile or anything that can tell the card it needs to step it up? It boosts fine in every other game with no tweaking needed, so maybe it’s a bug with GW2?
I did a search for this and found nothing, any advice would be awesome.
Thanks for the link but it’s not really a tweaking problem. It’s as if the GW2 client is not communicating with the graphics card and telling it that it’s dropping below 60fps. This, in all other games, makes the card throttle up to full power.
That Run as Administrator suggestion worked like a charm! It’s boosting up to 1293mhz like it’s supposed to now. Do I have to launch it like that all the time?
Edit:
Found the checkbox to always run as administrator. I know it throws up that annoying window to click through but that should be default for this game, if it’s keeping graphics cards from preforming properly, I never would have guessed that would fix it.
i happy that i help and as i said in other thread where a player found the problem with cpu_parking is coming from a very bad default power option in win 7,8 that keeps when the pc is plugged the pci cards in not high perfomance state but in balanced.
this alone creates many performance issues when player choose to play games because the vga ( pci card ) has not full power to work
if someone must blamed is the microsoft’s dev that set in balanced power option when the pc is plugged in ac to not have high performance settings
GPU Boost is a function of the card and not anything GW2 can do.
In some cities, events and zergs the game becomes CPU limited. A faster card doesn’t matter.
I did consider that, but it’s still odd how it’s not boosting in places. Above, Reborn gave me the run as administrator tip and it worked for where my thief was standing but not where my Ele is. The thief is in the Caledon backyard by the Blacklion guy and dipping to the low 50s with the card hovering at 1100mhz. When I did the administrator trick, it went well over 60 fps for a second and is boosting normally. The Ele is in Rata Sum and hovering around 50 fps with the static 1100 MHz still. In both locations, nothing was really going on and very few other players around.
Now I’m even more confused as to why it works for one of the character’s location but not the other.
change the power options with the settings of the first link in my previous post and check again please .
but you must know that different maps have different performance because the instances created with different options (they have more or less hardware resources in their server farm ) .

Already had it like that. Not sure about the instance resources, that could be it. I do know before the changes to culling, a patch or two ago, I was at or above 60 fps pretty much everywhere. I have set the character limit to medium now and it seems 95% normal but still get slowdowns in places.
