Guild Wars 2

I was seriously considering just going for the 960 is only 80$ more. Should I stick with the PSU if i decide to go with the 960 and in the future look to upgrade past that to a 980 or higher? Or what PSU should I be looking to get that will be a solid pick.

Your PSU will be enough for both 960 and 980. If you want your PSU to be a bit more future proof you could get one like EVGA Supernova G2 850W.

Think I found the problem. Today I installed very old drivers 347.88 and my fps is back to normal. Unfortunately it’s WDDM 1.3 driver so no DX12 for now Hope nvidia fix it soon. Just to be sure send a suport ticket to nvidia via their site.

I can also confirm that this workaround works. Went back to 347.88 from 353.62 and my FPS have gotten a boost. Mind you, still not what it was back on 8.1, but at least the game is playable at about 30-55fps now with my 970. Obviously this issue is driver related, but I have no Idea what they did that breaks guild wars for the windows 10 drivers…..

Same for me it’s still lower frames. Good thing I got w10 on other SSD so I can switch to it when nvidia fixes their mess

On Leohart screen you see PCI-E x16 1.1 because game is in background. From my experience PCI-E 2.0 x8 vs x16 made no difference on gtx970. Game like this won’t use a lot of PCI-E bandwidth.

I read something about Samsungs EVO SSDs being a cause of low fps lately so I’ll check that out once I’m home from work and will report back to you!

Yeah It’s TRIM problem on those. But if you have latest firmware it shouldn’t be a problem. If not try Samsung Magician.

Wont even run in compatibility mode. Ive tried compatibility for Win 8, Win 7, tried running as admin. On both a fresh downloaded installer and the installed program.

I cant even run the installer client to try to re-install, same error.

This is the error: http://i.gyazo.com/5c94793e15541bd8ec5f98f2176984bd.png

Crash log attached.

If you are trying to run game with administrator rights you have to give CoherentUI administrator rights too.

Small update. I noticed while monitoring my GPU usage while playing with this issue is at a constant 98-99%

Did you try to check for Power usage also? In my case it’s lot lower than normal ( maximum ~45%).

Ansau.7326:

Have you installed the Windows10 version of the drivers? This means you select W10 in the OS when you download the drivers.

Yes. I installed few of those w10 drivers with oldest ones being from May.

I am using Windows 10, too and did not notice any difference.

GTX580, i7-2600k@4.5Ghz, 8GB DD3 RAM

Did you make sure core parking is disabled? I think it can cause problems like this.

No it’s not core parking. CPU is always at max clock.

Same issue here. I got about half frames in heavily populated maps. For example in HotM when there are a lot of people I used to get ~50 fps on single gpu and about 70fps on sli. Now all I get is 30-35fps. I noticed GPU power usage is always maxed out on about ~44%. It seems to never go above it while GPU usage is all the time 99%. On win8.1 both of those values fluctuate (power up to ~103% and gpu usage 50-99%).
