Sad, though I used the beta prog from the same place ( http://coderbag.com/Programming-C/CPU-core-parking-manager ) to dynamically control the min Ghz set real time. great for troubleshooting.
You very well might have just another issue

Was NOT driver or windows 10. These had nothing to do with the loss. As stated another system with Win10 and same drivers was not effected.

I found my system was not coming out of idle, Forced it and frame rate went back to normal.
Some things to check.
Make sure your power profile is not on power saver etc. This can have a profound effect on GW2 if set wrong. Try setting it to high performance. (or make your own)
If that does not work try unparking your CPU / turn off throttling.
The current GW2 patch may have also changed something but not possible to tell without reverting. (thinking it may have had nothing or just a minor effect since I can force my system to act like it did before by going back to power saver power plan.)
This program is a quick way to dynamically check if this is a issue.

Check your CPU usage and speed during the game. I found my system was not coming out of idle, Forced it and frame rate went back to normal.

New update, Everything is working fine now?!?
After having the GW2 updater crash a few times, Today’s update finished and the game runs fine.
10-15 FPS on low settings to 117 on max . . . much better. I guess there must have been a issue?

Funny that, news just in, after 4 Loader crashes when trying to update GW2 today. . . . I ran it again and it seems to be working . .
10-15 FPS on any setting before to 117 on MAX looks. SWEET
Sorry, about your Issue. Hope a nice new Rig is in the cards for you! I am not sure whats up with the game as my issue had to have been addressed this last patch?!

Interesting I have a similar problem. Any in game graphics setting has little to no effect to extremity low FPS. Looking at my CPU and GPU the CPU is not Throttling up and the GPU is at barely 50%.
Try using this http://coderbag.com/Programming-C/CPU-core-parking-manager.
And bring your CPU up to a faster minimum frequency. Then check your performance again.
On my system I get a direct proportional increase in FPS to CPU minimum frequency.
Seemingly pointing to a problem with GW2? Other management programs, etc
I do not know if you will have the same effect but if you do this will help point out where the problem may lie.

Thank you for responding, But I am not sure what you read my post fully?
I do list what OS, The chip-set is derivable by the CPU listed, so I omitted it x99, All drivers are the latest.
QE is my day job and I listed minimal but relevant configuration information since I found this direct correlation in FPS and forced CPU Frequency (also seen in the past by others so some extent) and was interested if this was a known issue. The game is not utilizing the system CPU or GPU fully thus suffering poor performance. This is the ONLY program/game suffering this or any issue.

To your other questions,
The place I get the FPS is mostly irreverent (I was Just standing around in a mostly empty zone) as changing the in game GPU settings has no effect on FPS max to min , the same account/location on the other lower power system has 40-50+ the FPS (proving location is not the issue), and The FPS is completely linked by changing the minimum CPU Frequency real time. As I stated.
I assume this IS a issue in the realm of parked CPUs but having already unparked the CPUs seems to point to a similar but not exactly same problem. (I did do research before posting)

One other issue I did not list was the Asus Bundled software, I have not uninstalled it yet. And similar but not the same version exists on the other system not effected, to mitigate even farther any effect I also disabled all power limiting, throttling, managing aspects. setting everything to performance (next up would be full removal of these programs)

Not sure what the screenshot will do for you other then “proving” I am not pulling some crap. Or that you are looking for other information not directly asked for. I will do that if/when I write up a real report rather then this inquiry.

Any answers to my questions is what I am looking for. If you or anyone else can help there I will be grateful.
Thanks,

Have a overclocked i7-5820 with 970s, Win 10 latest NV drivers as of 8/24.
Other games and 3d renders are smooth and stable.

Run GW2 and I get 10-20 FPS regardless of graphic settings (high/low make no difference) UNPLAYABLE!!!!
Run GW2 on slightly older system and get solid 60 FPS (cap)

Looked into it and it seems my GPU and CPU are not being stressed at all. GW2 does not throttle up my cores or get my GPU pas ~50% utilized.?!?

So I locked my CPU Frequency at top speed (in this case 4.5 Ghz) and FPS jumps back to previous rates instantly!
Not a Windows issue as the other system is the same, Not a Graphics card issue since the other system has a lower speed card and the current one is not being stressed at all. (took SLI out of the mix)
This is not effecting other programs or games.
When I manually turn off throttling and set the CPU frequency Higher, GW2 proportionally (more or less) increases FPS.

I can only conclude a GW2 issue.
Is this a known issue? What is being done with it?
Why Is this only effecting this new system?
Should I write up a official bug report?

Thanks,

Seriously Toggling on a vender or making a catch all vender to rid the world of all “old” tokens from the past events stories is not only good sense BUT insanely easy. It is harder for people to type a moderate length response here then too add a vender for the devs.
And like said above, there is NO downside to having this “legacy” vender especially when having different living story tokens is not the smartest thing to do in the first place, having these living story tokens go “stale” is another, and not putting them in our “new” wallet is just another in the long WTF line of why is this even happening?
Also, the overly smug here have to realize GW2 is a non monthly $$ game and very casual. People do not feel obliged to play there $15 a month + just to feel even and that they are not wasting $ like most MMOs and casual players (or ones that have real lives), again gw2 is casual and people can and do freely play sporadically – this is a feature, also people in the summer tend to go on vacation, get buzzy, do not let a game dictate there life (you know stuff like that) etc . .
Additionally GW2 is all about accommodating allot of different play styles, types and likes. People like some things in these games and do not like others everyone is different! but BECOUSE A-net develops a wide variety of content people normally can find content they can do and like with no obligation to do things they can’t do or hate (Story dungeons vs the 3 dungeon paths, jumping puzzles, vistas, exploring, story quests, PVP, PVE, WvWvW, ascended weapons ie prestige or fx gear, professions, multiple ways to get dailies/monthlies, wide ways to get skins etc etc .
There are 100’s of ways to play the game and your personal way is NOT better then other peoples ways. (so get over it)
Hell they even added all of the season 1 living story items to the Loral vender?!?
This should be a non issue and disappointing that it is.

Holy Trinity Is Called "Holy" For A Reason

“Holy Trinity Is Called “Holy” For A Reason"
Que, normal religious thinking and dogma. . . small minded, limited, narrow, anything other is Wrong and hated, Etc etc.
On buying this game everyone knew there where no “Holy Trinity” so why keep bringing it up? There are enough other games that still use that game play framework go there to get your fix and to full full your quasi religious fever over a game maniac that was originally introduced to force a required role and cooperation in MMO games that had very limited scope and actual game play possible because of limited computer / network resources. This is no longer the problem and games (MMO) are now much more free to explore other game play options that could not exist previously.
Being hostel to new game maniacs is asinine and small minded. (as you ALWAYS have ample alternatives). Let it grow or fail on its own merits and not by your preconceived prejudice as that helps no one and only stifles new development.
GW2 is a casual game that allows people to play and progress in a wide range of ways and does not force play styles. This is HIGHLY valued by Most of players and is the basis for most to be playing this game! Players do not have to play with the one “perfect” build or be forced into a role (no matter how loud the min-maxers crow).
Again if you do not value the basic tenets and basis of how this MMO was constructed (none of which where hidden or secret) You are not required to play the game. But even more to the point stop trying to make the game into something it is NOT, and in that case I would say please just go away and leave us to this game which we appreciate the way it is.

There was an option to only show gear you could use in beta. It worked when the TP was up. For some reason it was removed; never to return thus far.

But hey; festivals!

ya, I was there, but really though I was misremembering it being there as something I wanted not something that was there . . . ok I am not crazy then :P
Expect there was a performance issue but hell if I know how.

I agree this is a easy fix (coming from a developer)
This is effectively only a change in a SQL statement. Add one more option box with Types. Have the default to be blank. you could even use these to enhance other areas to limit the search in other common ways.
The UI and UI tool set is already there, the code change/enhancement is minor, the default could keep the current behavior . . so is this just a oversight, a easy but low priority enhancement that is lost in the cue?

I have 6 Alts and have played the first few zones in each starting area . . . I am STILL finding things!!!
Hidden areas, Events that chained differently, events I have never seen.

There is NO way people have seen all the content or even close.

People should stop leveling for the sake of leveling and start playing.
