I am also having problems in WvW mostly. I get respectable FPS in PvE, usually 50-60+ unless there is a big event, on medium-high settings. CPU usage is about 50-70% and GPU is about 50-60% during this time. Tried all the little fixes, hardware acceleration disabled, uninstalled ..NET 4. Nothing is helping in WvW, and PvE framerate stays more or less the same. Though I noticed in the entrance areas to WvW I get the same GPU usage as in the world, but in fights it apparently drops to 0-15%. I’m assuming that’s why I get such bad frames. this is with everything turned to low or off, I’ve also tried everything in between. Not sure why it wouldn’t increase GPU usage when the game needs it the most haha. Guess I’ll just have to wait to see a fix that increases GPU usage, I don’t think it’s on my end, but who knows. Specs are as follow:
Phenom 2×4 BE955 3.2 Ghz (Overclocked to about 3.5Ghz, just to see if it would help and it maybe increased a few FPS, though it could have just been placebo)
Radeon HD 6850
2×2GB RAM

Also, these is the framerate i’ll usually see in WvW
Lowest/off settings:
60-100 FPS in the starting area, GPU usage about 50%
40-43 FPS running, pretty much anywhere not near a keep, GPU usage drops slightly ;/
20-28 FPS in or outside of a like a castle, a few people around. GPU usage is starting to get to 0-15% here.
11-19 FPS in fights, say, 25v25 or so. GPU usage still abysmal.

On auto-detect, and me manually turning off shadows and reflections, post processing etc. I’ll see about 4 FPS lower. So Basically changing settings does next to nothing.
