Guild Wars 2

I’m running an i7 (3.4GHz), 8GB of 1333MHz RAM, and a GTX 560ti with 2GB on board. My co worker is using the EXACT same system. He plays with maxxed settings at around 70-80 FPS. I log in (after a fresh computer start) at around 140FPS and then within 2 minutes, I’m down to single digit FPS… with an identical performance drops when I go to min settings.

I’ve updated to the 306.xx drivers for the card. Tried cleaning/reseating the card in either slot I have available. I’ve considered spyware issues and took actions required for that and still suffer from the same problem. I’m thinking it’s my card, but I haven’t gotten a chance to check it out (nor do I have the money for that) yet.

The easiest way to know if the problem is of your PC or GW2 is to try another game, or even more than one, and check if they work as intended or if you have the same FPS problems.

Hello everyone, 2 days ago I was tweaking my game and apart from seeing no difference at all in the FPS when changing most options I also noticed that the Environment detail option on Graphics Options makes some textures look inconsistent, and even lose most of their details. Please look at the video below to see what I am refering to.

It seems when in Low, most textures look as they should, but once you put this option to high it messes up some things, and makes it look really weird. I think this is not intended.
*Important: I do not recommend setting this to low, as it makes objects not visible in the distance. Most noticable in Lion’s Arch.

This problem is almost for sure a GW2 thing, I too have a bottleneck present, and even if I change everything to the lowest, the framerate isn’t different at all, or in the best case it differs in 2-5 FPS.
Also, this has been present since launch.

7. Get a can of compressed air, open up your case and carefully blow all of the dust out of your system.

Wrong. Don’t do this or you may very well damage your components. The correct way to do that is to get an air compressor and compress it yourself. But that’s neither cheap or efficient.
Cans of compressed air contain fluid that can damage your components. Also you can damage your fans by spinning them too fast when using a can of compressed air, and presumably even the components they are wired to.

Edit: In my opinion the best way is the old way, use a tiny brush or a vacuum not close to the components.
