Guild Wars 2

I know it shouldn’t reach 100%, I’m mentioning it because 40% is about the right load for this CPU (or at last I think so). I’ve forgot to mention – all drivers are up to date.

Hi there !

I have strange performance issues since I’ve upgraded to windows 8 x64. My specs are
8120 8 core amd
Gigabyte Ga-970a-d3
8 gb kingston ddr3 1600 ram
ssd corsair 128 gb drive
GeForce gtx660
600 W PSU

Game works very poorly – Never above 40 fps, usually at 15-20 in open world and about 10 in cities. Changing resolution / video settings has minor effect in FPS. On the same PC I have installed Windows 7 x64 and it works just fine – above 30 fps in cities, and even up to 80 in open world, it’s perfectly playable (at highest settings and 1920×1080 resolution). It’s real pain for me to play on windows 7 since it’s my “secure” system, encrypted with TrueCrypt and not intended for every day use. In Windows 8 Processor usage never goes above 40%, neither processor nor graphic card overheats. I’ve tried every solution from https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/FPS-and-Performance-based-issues-1 and other similar threads around forum and nothing works for me. Anyone have any idea ?
