Sup bros, I am having a weird issue while playing GW2 who causes my FPS to spike/drop from stable 50-60 to 5-10 for about 5-6 seconds even if i’m not doing anything, then the FPS go again to 50-60 and after one or two minutes the spike happens again.
Here are my specs:
ASUS M5A88-M EVO AM3+
AMD FX 8150 3.6Ghz 8X BLACK EDITION
Corsair TX750 V2 750W
WD Caviar Black 1TB SATA3 64MB
Kingston HyperX XMP T1 DDR3 1600 PC3
Sapphire Radeon HD 6870 1GB GDDR5
I’m not overclocking, tried a fresh Windows7 install, I have the latest drivers but nothing works. My temps playing at best appearance mode are 65º~ on the CPU and 60º~ on the GPU. ¿Can be a problem related to temps?
While using CPU-Z I noticed my VCORE drops from 1.40 to 0.90 when the spike is happening.
I really hope u guys can help me to resolve this problem because I tried a lot of things since the launch of the game and I’m still having this issue
Sounds like your graphics card is downclocking. It does this to save power but its clearly doing it at the wrong time. I actually have an nvidia card right now and i cant remember the catalyst control center exactly. Look for any power saving options and turn them off.
In the nvidia control panel the option is called “Power Management mode” and is set to “prefer maximum performance”.
Sup brah. That cpu temp is getting up there if your running stock speed & could possibly be throttling. What are you using to test temps? Many programs are inaccurate & could be reading 10c either way.
Ahh so its your processor thats slowing down not your GPU. Tbh 60 degrees shouldnt cause a CPU to start throttling down. My I7 2700k @ 4.4ghz hits 60 degrees under prime95 with an aftermarket cooler.
Make sure you have enabled “high performance” in power settings in the control panel.

His cpu is 65c & AMD temp threshold is lower than Intel.
i7 3770k@4.8Ghz / AIR
GTX 6GB Titan@1160Mhz

Run Overdrive while Prime95’ing to make sure all your core speeds are at maximum underload.
Did u mean running the overdrive aplication who overclocks my cpu when the torture test is running or just turning ON the overdrive?
My multiplier/core speed drops too. I’m downloading CoreTemp and I will do that torture test from Prime95 as soon as possible, there’s 3 options for the test, which one should I use?
Wow I can’t edit my posts and I don’t know why, well, turned the overdrive ON, just was wondering if I need to do the torture test and the auto-tune option from the overdrive together or just activate overdrive and overclock my CPU to 3900ghz then run the torture test.
Hi Cbuzz, I downloaded and installed the fixes, turned off LLC, C1 and I have no EIST (there’s an option called iGPU speedstep but i can’t turn that off, just set a manual clock or something) and I continue having the FPS issue and running again a torture test I can see the same jumps from vcore and freq.
