Tip from another thread that worked for me (Win7 x64): Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Power Options -> High Performance, and WHAM, double frame rate. Enough for me not to complain.

No other game or graphics demo appears to be dependent on that setting.

Can you link to that thread please? Want to read more about that.

I did the timer thing too, but that didn’t do much for me. i7-860, AMD HD 7850, 8 GB RAM, SSD.

Best Performance settings after patch today, pulling 4 FPS in WvW (maybe 20 vs. 20 players). Combine that with player popping and it was completely unplayable. ATI HD 7850, i7 860, SSD, 8 GB RAM.

Hey all,
For those of you that tired to use the -perfdebug command last night, can you confirm that the .dat file that should be found in the profiles folder is not there for me please.

Confirmed. There is no profiles folder. I tried making one, but trying -perfdebug again had no result.

On the other hand, today is a lot better. Still have to back down on shadows, but playable. ATI 7850, 8 GB RAM, i7-860.

What you’re doing there, in case you didn’t know (and if I understand correctly), is effectively disabling the hyperthreading for the GW2 process.

Exactly why I tried it… synchronizing threads can be tough!

Couldn’t do ctrl+shift+C either. But here’s a strange thing: if I use Task Manager, right-click on gw2.exe *32, and Set Affinity so it’s only running on CPU 1+3+5+7 (of my i7), the FPS roughly doubles. Still not great, but at least playable.

I can’t say I’ve ever been ecstatic about GW2 performance, but I used to hit 40-something FPS pretty regularly. Today Best Performance = 25ish (staring at the PvP portals in Lions Arch), or Best Appearance = 17ish. 50% GPU load, 41% CPU load. Something got a lot worse in the last couple days.
