Returning player FPS problems
Where are you getting these FPS, large scale WVW? That’s normal.
All alone in a quiet spot in Orr? Then something is wrong.

From the moment I log in to the game. I’ve tried everywhere from a quiet corner of Queensdale, Divinity’s Reach to WvW.
WvW is actually one of the better areas when I drop everything back to low settings. I’d like to do something else besides WvW all the time though and usually when I’m not in WvW I like to turn the graphics up but it’s just not possible.
I was hoping someone else might have a similar build to my PC and might be able to compare FPS and settings because this seems really unusual.
Do screenshots of ingame settings, cpu-z and gpu-z.

Something is going on with my system I think, I was getting over 100fps yesterday in WvW on low settings during one session. Then during a later session it had dropped to 15fps again and there was no high density fighting going on, just me roaming during off-peak.
When it dropped low during this session I exited the program and restarted my PC and got a VGA Bios error (Long beep followed by two short beeps). This PC is on it’s second GPU; the original build had a GTX580 in it and used to get the same VGA Bios error on occasion after a hard lock up.
First Screenshot is in Lions Arch with my PvE settings; fps doesn’t seem bad today so I might update the thread if the performance drops and I don’t get a hard lock or force restart.

with the settings you are using, that is expected performance for areas like Lions Arch and such.
If you are getting FPS drops like that in places such as WvW then its PROBABLY a thermal issue. CPU getting to hot and throttling back. You can veirfy this with programs like Coretemp, as that will display your CPU temps. If so, gotta clean out the CPU cooler, replace the thermal Paste, possibly replace Cooling FANs…ect.
