Guild Wars 2

Hi,

I’m currently running an AMD phenom II X2 555 cpu OCed to 4GHz 16G ram and a GTX260 OCed to 702MHz.
GW2 when i run it managed to wreck havoc with my card(resets my OC and doesn’t run at full MHz)
running the latest beta drivers as of posting this(306.02)

any help to address this issue would be much appreciated as having to redo OC’s whenever i play another game is getting to be bothersome.

Cheers

My GPU runs at 100% when playing GW2. It’s really depressing, I get 10 – 20 fps, if I look directly at the ground I get 50-60 fps.

It’s weird and I hope they fix it soon, I want to play. My card is a HD 6850 and my systems more than capable of running GW2.

Hotpocket: Try downgrading to 304. Some are having luck with the 306 and some have problems, so its worth a try

had the same issues with 304 tjy. and jeez fear what are you running on? i get 40-50 main world in the city medium settings with my stuffed up card lol

Ah okay. Sorry to hear that mate.
Did this begin after the new patch. It seems like a lot of people are having fps issues, and it’s mainly pointing towards the patch.

which patch? we’ve had like 8 in the past 2 days lol. but yea iirc it was after the patch that i started to notice it(was getting 60-80 same setting pre patch)

The one that came last night i think..
Well.. I found this on the nvidia site

At this time we can also confirm that the Ambient Occlusion profile added to the game yesterday can result in certain pieces of terrain becoming transparent. If you experience this issue, simply turn off Ambient Occlusion in the Guild Wars 2 NVIDIA Control Panel profile

It’s about transparance, but could help your performance….
It’s worth a try.

was already set to off

Im all out of ideas then. Sorry mate.
If i see anything related to your problem, i will update you on it.

omg now its running fine at 702… I’ll try restarting the client to cause the issue again

Sounds like your overclock is unstable if your getting driver resets. That’s really the only issue I can see here… Just because it can play other games overclocked, doesn’t mean it can play GW2 overclocked.

doesnt feel like its unstable considering i run other games just fine but idk i’ll try lowering the clockspeeds when i get some more time to test

nope lowering the clockspeed didnt do anything.

still not sure why my cards doing this

bump to get some fresh eyes on the matter.

I have the same processor as you do, Hot, but I have a GTX560 and I can’t get much more than 30% GPU utilization. Some areas I get 35-40 fps, but others I get around 15-18.

I don’t get much more than 15 fps in Divinity.

Changing graphic settings to all low pretty much does nothing to increase the FPS, nor does changing screen resolution. Has me baffled.

back to the top. seems like an issue with GTX cards not just my 260

looking at all my clock speeds after opening GW2 dropped them down from 702 core clock 1513 shader clock 1119 mem clock to 400 799 and 297 respectively. still not sure of the issue but it only happens with GW2
