Guild Wars 2

I’m getting some graphic issues, I don’t really know how to describe them so I just recorded them. 2 Example links below.
Example 1 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBY_XMrLIOw
Example 2 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_T5wvDH8o_c
Getting about 45fps average. dips down to 20fps goes up to 80fps and WvW is around 10fps.
AMD FX 6300 3.5 Hexcore Processor
500gb Sata
8gb DDR3 Ram
GTX EVGA 650
Driver Version 320.18 (Up to date)

In both cases it seems like you are getting some artifacting going on, which is likely what those white flashes are. Lets start with the basics, are you overclocking anything? If so, lets make sure we set those OCs back to stock for now just to eliminate any issues those might be causing.

Then, I want you to check your CPU and GPU temperature while playing the game for a while. If you don’t already have software to monitor your CPU and GPU temperatures, I recommend downloading HWMonitor which can be found here:
http://www.cpuid.com/downloads/hwmonitor/1.22-setup.exe

Nothing is overclocked, I can’t find CPU-Z’s Temperature, and my GPU averages 58 degrees Celsius and doesn’t go over 62.

CoreTemp is the way to go if you want to see your CPU temps.

OK, got some software called CPUID Hardware Monitor, my CPU runs around 30-50 degrees, so I don’t think that is the problem. Also downloaded EVGA Precision X to do some GPU adjustments/tests.

I raised my GPU fan speed from the stock standard which ran roughly 20-25% fan speed at temperatures between 50-63 degrees Celsius to 25-35% fan speed at temperatures between 45-60 degrees Celsius, so my GPU stays around 40-55 degrees now, and it will probably max 58 under extreme loads (not very often).

Like I stated before I don’t think my CPU temperature is a problem, so I took a look at my GPU Voltage and GPU Core Clock and ran some tests.

1. Default Core Clock speeds and Default Voltage still had Artifacting – Test failed.
These are the settings I have linked my youtube videos on.

2. Default Core Clock speeds and Raised Voltage still had Artifacting – Test failed.
This test failed, but at the same time seemed better, which made me think of my last test option.

3. Lowered Core Clock speeds and Default Voltage no more Artifacting – Test PASS.
Idk why this is was an issue, I only changed my Clock Speed -50MHz, but it fixed the issue for now, I’ll be playing for an extended period of time to test more thoroughly, but for now I’m happy with my results.

For some reason I was under the impression I was using CPU-Z to monitor my CPU’s temperatures. I was so wrong, I’m not really sure what I was thinking. Goes back and changes the 30 or so posts with correct information
