Hi, I’ve just updated my video card from a Radeon 6870 to a Geforce 960 GTX so that I could play Fallout 4.

Prior to my upgrade, I had no noticeable lag. Now if I launch Guild Wars(with the 64 or 32 bit client) I get between 1-7 FPS.

These are my current system specs:
Motherboard: EVGA Z68
Processor: Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30 GHz
Memory(RAM): 16 GB
Video Card: Geforce 960 GTX
PSU: 850W

Of note: Fallout 4 (albeit at the beginning inside the house) is running at 60fps on Ultra settings. City Skylines is between 30-60fps, and Deus Ex: Human Revolution was also running at 60fps. The only game I’m having this issue with thus far is Guild Wars 2.

I’ve also tried tinkering with the Graphics settings by turning them down, making sure VSync was turned off, lowering the character textures and models, ect. There was no difference.

Is there anything more I can try? I can’t play the game with this kind of fps.

Use DDU to uninstall all gpu drivers and reinstall the Nvidia one, also try different drivers from Nvidia.
Make sure the gpu is running at x16.

Wow…I am such a noob…that was exactly the problem. I wasn’t paying attention when I plugged it in to the motherboard, and I didn’t use the PCI x16 slot. Running at 60fps now Thank you!
