Guild Wars 2

Turns out the power settings were on balanced in the control panel, I never bothered to check that because it’s a desktop. Thank you so much for the reply, I can now get on with playing my own character instead of fiddling with this!

When the game was released, I was able to run on med-high graphics with an average of 45fps in all zones (WvW was a little lower). Since release, I have upgraded my hardware and handed my old parts to my girlfriend. With the exception of her motherboard and HDD, she is using the exact setup I used on launch, however she is only able to get a MAXIMUM of 15fps, regardless of what graphical setting it’s on. I have read that limits regardless of settings are typically a CPU bottleneck, but I was able to run fine with the one she is using. Any suggestions? (I am willing to buy new parts if i have to, but only if it’s the only option)

Her machine is:
