Guild Wars 2

Ok so here are the stats with hyperthreading enabled.

Game settings to show the FPS and that my settings are still the same : http://puu.sh/jpwqE/71b105d8d4.jpg

and the hardware readings : http://puu.sh/jpwrn/ff81e6031f.jpg

Also here, for kittens and giggles, is my game settings minus high-res character textures : http://puu.sh/jpwCe/ec85359c11.jpg
Note the massive 2FPS increase.

I wasn’t even aware there was a difference in the PCI-E slots but yes, I am running SLI. Also as stuck up as it may sound I’m not really interested in removing high res character models. I feel like with my build there’s absolutely no reason I shouldn’t be able to have my settings maxed or atleast close to it. My settings are already EXTREMELY lenient what with all the mediums I’m running. I haven’t tried enabling hyperthreading yet but I’ll try that soon and post the results.

I’m fairly new to GW2 and I’m just wondering how exactly my build can only manage a max 40FPS in a city and get as low as 20FPS. I’ll post my game settings and a few other screenshots to get some opinions.

Note that no single change in any graphic option has given me more than a +5FPS different even at the most extreme. i.e. setting shadows to none or textures to low. I’ve tried disabling SLI to which nothing changed. My CPU is of course unparked and I have hyperthreading turned off as it assists with FPS in WoW and doesn’t generally effect gaming in the first place.
