Guild Wars 2

Hi all,

Something has been bothering me regarding my CPU usage.

For some reason, my i7920 @ 3.6ghz never passes 15% CPU usage. What gives? My fps is ~50 but my CPU usage should definitely be higher. My system is already set to maximum performance. This game confuses me.

See this for info: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Performance-inconsistencies/first#

It seems the game is mostly singlethreaded. Your OS cycles it around the cores for thermal reasons, but the game is really just using one core.

That’s very weird.

What’s also very annoying is sometimes if I move my character one inch to the right my fps drops. As soon as I step back It shoots back up to 60 fps.

Is this a memory leak?

No. Memory leak would involve your game’s performance degrading over time and not being able to get consistent frames until you restarted.

i5-2500k @ 4.8GHZ here and my CPU usage NEVER goes above 30%.
