As Crazedmonk.9061 pointed out in this thread disabling crossfire fixed the problem.

Any wonder why crossfire breaks the game as of today (Sept. 13)?

Was Xfire even working before? Does GW2 even support Xfire? Did you monitor both GPU’s while running GW2 to ensure both were being utilized prior to today?

Not sure if it was officially supported or even “working” but it didn’t make the game unplayable until today.

Before today I could run the game at max settings while achieving 60+ FPS. Today it just grinded to a halt at 5FPS on lowest settings.

So as of now, it seems it definitely DOES NOT like crossfire as to before it seemed to not care.

No, you can’t truly max this game with your pc. Mine destroys yours & I still can’t truly max this game @ a constant >60fps.

Perhaps you were over-estimating exactly how many FPS you were getting before?

The only thing I don’t have set is the Render Sampling to Supersampling. So I guess it’s not at max settings…

Regardless, this post should just let everyone know that having Crossfire enabled will KILL the performance of the game. And that is a recent change as of prior to today, having Crossfire enabled did nothing to hinder the performance.

I love the people who are like “buy a new video card”….or “upgrade your RAM” to the very same people who ran the game perfectly just a few days ago. Clearly if a large number are experiencing FPS issues who were fine before…the issue is not on their end. I may not be a computer specialist, .but that is simple logic.

As above, best not comment if your full noob.

But the game was running perfectly for me at max settings… until today. Now it’s unplayable at the lowest settings.

My specs:
• i7 2600k
• Win 7 64 bit
• 8GB RAM
• 2x Radeon 6950s in Crossfire

Should I go run to the store and upgrade!?

Nope just turn off crossfire, I have two 6950’s as well and run perfectly fine IF i disable one.

Disabling crossfire seemed to work. Any wonder why it suddenly broke as of today?

When I log in today, the game runs very poorly. The load times are around 1.5x-2x longer and my FPS is shot. Up until today, the game ran fine.

I have the most up-to-date video drivers.

System info:
Win 7 64 bit
i7 2600-k
8GB RAM
2x ATI Radeon 6950s in Crossfire

The game is now unplayable even on lowest settings. Was there a patch yesterday/today? If not, the only thing I can think of that changed is a Windows update yesterday.

Edit: I’ve attached my dxdiag

I am also getting really slow load times and low FPS but only as of today.

I’ve been playing all this week and had only one issue when I first installed because my video drivers weren’t up-to-date. After I installed the new drivers the game ran perfectly at high settings.

As of today, when I logged in, the game run below 20FPS while at on the “Best Performance” settings group.

What happened from yesterday to today?
