Need advice due to bad FPS

Nothing, unless your CPU is reaching down throttling temperatures, which can be analyzed with either the program’s Speccy (Recommended by Anet) or CPU Z, there isn’t really much you can do other than overclock your CPU to a higher clock speed.

Word to the wise, you still won’t see that much of a boost If you decide to take the overclocking route, as mentioned before by users with I5 4690K / I7 4790Ks which despite the slightly more age, outperforms your CPU in Single Core / Multi according to several benchmarking tests and even then they have trouble stabalizing a constant 60FPS in heavy populated areas (aforementioned WvW / PvP as well.)

All you can do is either accept this flaw or move on. (Don’t take it the wrong way as I myself as a GW2 player would love to see you enjoy the game.)
The game is behind on engine tweaking thus does not utilize newer processors with multi core technology unless they decide to rewrite the engine with DX11 or more successfully with DX12 since this would be the better option for multi core processors.

Until then, that’s the games only downfall, hope this doesn’t affect your decision on staying but at the same time eases anything you might be worrying about hardware wise.

You have a great CPU / GPU.

Very low fps (8 to 9!) after last update!

New to the forums but wanted to try and help out in my fellow GW2 community.
While I can’t address exactly why you are losing FPS since the upgrade, there are some things you can try.
- If you are running the 64 Bit client, try forcing it into 32 Bit and see if this may address your issue.
-Check your CPU with either Speccy or CPU-Z to see if your processor might be overheating.
- Reinstall the game and or graphics card drivers if all else fails.
To clear up about performance issues, the 64 Bit client is too address memory (Ram) issues from occurring. This generally doesn’t improve overall performance.
Until AreaNet decides to do a massive overhaul towards multicore processing – (DirectX 11 / DirectX 12), you will have to live with the low FPS in towns. It’s a plague General MMOs face altogether, a little worse on this being a little behind on engine advancements.
Just to give you a general idea, a I7 4790K (Best single core performance on the market still) partnered with a 980Ti still gets drips while in town.

I hope I helped in some way.
Hope to see you soon in game!
