Guild Wars 2

I think there’s a memory leek of some sort in GW2, when I die, or that low red HP effect pops up on the edges of the screen, my fps drops to half and it stays like that till I alt tab to windows and then alt tab to game again.

Running the game in full screen @ 1080p on a:

i7 2600k OC@ 4.5ghz (temps around 60c in full load)
GTX690 (temps also around 60c full load)
Corsair AX1200w psu

Its not a memory leak, its an Nvidia issue. Your FPS (generally when going between loading/2d screens and ingame 3d) will drop as your nvidia card sticks in 2d clock speeds.

Alt+Tab forces it back to 3d clock speeds. The only temporary fix ive found is in your global nvidia 3d settings, set “power management” to “Prefer maximum performance”, reboot, itll never happen again.

thanks for the reply Refraction, my game profiles are always in Max Power mode m8, and there’s no loading, when this happens, I just need to die, I get rez and the frames are in half, sometimes the low hp warning in the screen borders appears and I get half the frames.

Memory leak in a 32bit app will affect everyone, and this is the first time I’m reading this.
Try disabling the turbo boost on your GTX690.
