Guild Wars 2

Hey I have a Radeon HD 5800 series and the game no longer has the same fps as it used to. Did gw2 remove optimization for lower HD cards now? Ive tried older drivers and the lastest as well. nothing is working.

Previously I had around 60+fps on autodetect settings
80+ on best performance
30+ on best appearance

Now I am lucky to get 30 on best performance. The game was working fine last Sunday. The issue occurred on Monday. Whats going on? Ive tried everything on my end

Check with GPU-Z if you see “@x16” at the place i marked on the screenshot.

If you see something else make sure your GPU is in the slot next to your CPU.
If it is reseat the card to make sure there are no contact preoblems.
