Guild Wars 2

In the same boat mate.

Got i5 4790k (3.5 not OC)
GTX 980 ti palit super jet stream 6gb
Z97gigabyte mobo
Kingston hyper v 8gb 1866mhz
Windows 10 home 64bit

Not sure what your FPS stats are as mine sometimes are 80 and other times 15-20.

Had a variety of reasons put my way such as:
Win 10 drivers and nvidia having problems
General driver issues (some suggest using older versions)
Gw2 only supporting dual processors
Cpu/gpu not being used efficiently. ( I sometimes have 0% gpu and 30% cpu usage)
Pcie running at 1.1 rather than 1.3

My opinion is that it’s just not optimised that well and hopefully direct x 12 will fix the problem.

I’m going to play around with gpu/cpu over clocking to see if I can find any differences.

I’ve been playing the Witcher 3 max setting at average of 60+ FPS and TERA, LOL etc on 100fps, so I’m not sure what to think really.

Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful You’re not along though.

Hi all,

I have downloaded all drivers for MOBO, card etc. Only thing I didn’t do was update BIOS but could flash it at some point if I need to.

I’ve had my FPS fluctuating wildly over the past couple of days. Sometimes I log in and it’s 10-15 and others it’s 80+.

What I have noticed is lately my gpu usage is at 0% and cpu is at 30 ish.

Those stats to me don’t seem to be great… I installed TERA,WOW and LOL just so see how they performed and I’m over 100fps on all of them. The gpu benchmarks higher than the Titan x so for games like Witcher it’s absolutely amazing and the above MOBA and MMO’S.

I really wanted to come back and play regularly with this set up but until some driver issues or cpu optimisation issues are corrected I don’t see how I can play anymore…

Sucks.

Hey SirSquishy.

I used GPU-Z and the PCIE was as you said lower settings at 1.1 but when I ran the render test it pumped it up to x16 version 3 but shortly after the test it went back to 1.1 but still retained the x16?

I just opened and closed the program twice and it remains at 16 but changes from 1.1-3.

Any ideas on that front?

GPU is as close to CPU as poss. Will try find the thread on the additional stuff Thanks!

Yes, I bought 8.1 but immediately updated to 10.

I did see people with similar issues but most people said it was because GW doesn’t support multi cpu or something to that effect.

I would switch back to an older driver but the Witcher is running so well on this current set up that I wouldn’t want to sacrifice potential performance.

It’s amazing that at 4k I get avg of 10-15 frames more on Witcher 3 than 1080p GW2 lol.

Are you trying anything else to see if it will help? I’m running out of ideas…

I’’ve seen this problem floating around but my fps yesterday was 80-100 in non dense areas and then 25-30 in Lions Arch. Today it’s 18-20 with no npc’s or players and a couple of mobs on screen…..

Is it the server or my internet perhaps?

All my settings are on max with AA enabled.

My internet is a constant 48mb fibre optic with 2mb upload.

Computer specs are:

i5 4690k (3.5ghz non OC)
Gtx 980 ti Palit Super Jetstream 6gb
NZXT Kraken x41 liquid cooling
Sandisk 256 SSD (GW2 installed on SSD)
Seagate 2 tb
H440 NZXT case

I’m getting 60fps + on Witcher 3 at moment, so is this a cpu hungry/ poorly optimised game? Maybe if I OC the CPU, that will help?

Cheers!
