Looks like my core temps also fluctuate. CPUID says the core runs to the high 60’s/low 70’s °C then the usage goes up and the package temps drop to around 45 to 50 then start to climb again. The GPU temp seems to be pretty consistent at running low-mid 70’s throughout.
When just browsing on the desktop temps run 45 to 50 for CPU and GPU.
What temperatures are optimal? A quick google search says around 50ish under load. Is this what I should be aiming for?

So I’ve been having this issue for a long time now and tried to figure it out myself to no avail. I’ve searched the forums a bit and basically came to the conclusion that GW2 doesn’t play nice with multi-core systems. Perhaps I am missing something so here is the problem.
The problem is that after running smooth, no graphics issues at all, every 80-90 seconds there is an intense drop in my FPS to around 0-4 fps for ~10s then it gradually increases back to baseline over ~5-10s and runs fine and smooth again. During this drop my GPU usage tanks while my CPU usage remains constant. I’ve attached my GPU-z log for reference. It, as expected, is worse in WvW or in population dense areas in that it takes longer to get back to everything running smooth.
I’ve run 3DMark to see if the primary issue is my graphics card and it does not have these repeating FPS drops and scores pretty good.
Here are my specs:
ASRock 970 Extreme3 mobo
AMD FX-8150
AMD RadeonHD 7800
16gb RAM
120gb SSD (running windows and GW2)
1tb HDD
Running Windows 7 SP1 64bit
It kind of feels like my computer is dumping everything and then has to reload all the graphics. That is totally subjective and not really based on anything. It is to the point where WvW is really frustrating because even in 1v1 these FPS drops means I basically stand still.
If you need anything else just ask. Thanks for the replies in advance!
