Guild Wars 2

This is happening for me too, i got a GTX660 and before that a HD7850. The stuttering happens only when im entering an area and turning the camera around.

Same here, HD7850 – screen filckering (white textures) and floor lines. So kitten annoying..

Unfortunately i found out that this is a common problem with the HD7xxx owners . The current “stable” drivers 12.10 have many problems and for the OC editions of the card the game is playable only if you downclock the GPU @ 860MHz.

Thanks for the replies guys, i guess updating my rig is the only way to go.

I have similar problems with OP, i would appreciate any help/suggestions. My specs are:

-Dual-Core E5800 @ 3.20GHz
-8GB RAM
-ATI HD7850
-Kingston HyperX SSD
-Corsair TX650 PSU
-24" Monitor (playing @ 1920×1680 resolution)

I recently bought HD7850 to replace my old HD5700 but i didnt see much improvement. My framerate (even if i cap it) isnt stable and that causes annoying hiccups, even worse when i turn my character around – my FPS in big cities or PVP/big dungeons drops sometimes under 20. This happens everywhere even with low graphic settings.

My CPU temperatures are 62c in graphicly heavy areas and my GPUs around 42c. My system is clean (fresh install) and im using the latest catalyst drivers.

Um did you have any error massages after thoes frezes crashes or 0 like me? And did it only crash the game (ctrl,alt,del helped) or it was full system crash?. My 7850 is oced to 1010 core atm and 1200 memmory. So far i only have apphang thing with guild wars 2 and i know that 7xxx series is crapy( i have flicerking textures as well) and i plan to switch it for 670gtx after christmas. I just hope its the video card fault that would be easy to fix not some kind of driver conflict with my mobo,sound or cpu….

In my case windows reported this error:

“Display driver amdkmdap stopped responding and has successfully recovered. "

Take a look on your Windows logs under System. You should have the same error. Btw i tried it on Windows 7 x64 and Windows 8 x64 (fresh installs), using Catalyst 12.10.

I recently bought my ATI HD7850 (OC edition) and i was having the same random crashes/freezes. I managed to fix it by decreasing the GPU core clock to 860MHz and memory at 1200.
I know its not the best solution but you guys should give it a try, it seems the 7xxx series arent stable enough.
