Guild Wars 2

Feeh.1720:

After a long time with fps problems falling for no reason and randomly , For those with cpu with more than 4 cores I have tested this for 5 days and appears to be working https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/3x8kop/psa_guild_wars_2_fps_drops_fix/

Only I returned to have FPS problems when the temperature of my CPU reached 60c

pc specs

cpu – fx 6300 3.5ghz
gpu – R9 270x 2gb
ram – 8gb 1600mhz

Tried it. Didn’t help. I saw no notable performance change. I experimented around a bit, shifting the processing to different processors or combination of processors. It was interesting to watch the CPU usage move around on the Task Manager though. That said, it was interesting to see the frame rate drop to around 10-15 FPS when I limited it to 1 processor. All of this seems to reinforce that the game is overusing the CPU and underusing the video card.

I’d suggest that Anet overhaul their graphics renderer so that more of the burden is pushed on to the video card where it belongs, but something tells me that A) that’s not gonna happen one way or another, possibly because B ) that would involve an almost complete rewrite of their game engine.

So I guess we’re probably just stuck with poor performance because of a badly written graphics engine.

If you’re having FPS issues at 60 degrees and up, that sounds like thermal throttling on your CPU’s part.

As for the processor affinity thing, it seems murky from the Reddit threads, but worth a shot I suppose. I’ll try it tonight and report back.

Just built a brand new system:

CPU: Intel Core i7-6850K @ 3.8GHz
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 G1 Gaming 8GB
RAM: CORSAIR Dominator Platinum 32GB (4 × 8GB) DDR4 2133 @ 10-12-12-31
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-X99-Ultra Gaming
HDD: Samsung 950 PRO Series 512GB M.2 Internal SSD
OS: Windows 10 Pro

My previous system was about 5 years old, so I was expecting a massive performance boost, but I can only pull 50-60 FPS in Lion’s Arch when I look/run around. Any suggestions?
