Guild Wars 2

I’m running an I7 2700k cpu with an nvidia gtx 660ti
Old parts yes, however i have recently returned to the game to find it running absolutely terribly in populated areas, Im sure this never happened before. I get around 12 – 23 fps in LA.
I also can sometimes stand in one place pan my camera to see no players and i jump to 60fps, pan around and it absolutely drops hardcore.
Even if i put graphics to lowest of the low i still wont get a decent fps in a large group.

After doing some research i found people with very similar or the same set ups as i do and they are getting a solid 60 all the time on high settings +
(such as this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kD2l8RZvus)

If anyone can help me out or think of a solution it would be much appreciated.

Also yes i’ve updated drivers
ran as administrator
Put CPU to performance mode
Even tried overclocking a tad

Thanks in advance!

Why do elite spec icons not show in sPvP games, sometimes i approach a fight completely wrong because i think a guardian is a dragonhunter or a ranger a druid, it would be helpful to instantly know what i was up against.

Please remove downed state from sPvP and just increase the time to kill instead.

For me, it is that i have no motivation to do anything, once i had completed most of the map, and run all dungeons there is a lot i can do but i really struggle to find a point as to why i should do these things.
