I’m running GW2 on my custom built PC with the following relevant specs:
AMD FX8320
AMD Radeon HD 7770
32gb RAM
I’m not running the game on an SSD.
I’m currently using the 64-bit client (32-bit client doesn’t change my performance noticeably).
I run the game on almost all low settings across the board currently (character limits, etc), but native resolution to my monitor (1920×1080), and in most areas, outside of HoT maps and large events, I average about ~25 fps. However, the moment I step into a HoT map or a large event that drops to 10-15 fps. Everywhere I’ve looked I’ve seen that my PC should run the game at 30+ just fine, maybe dropping into the 20s for more intensive sections, and I’ve looked high and low for anything that might help. I’ve attached a screenshot of my CPU and GPU usage while in game, specifically Verdant Brink, though it doesn’t change much no matter where I am. I’d like to get back to both decent settings and framerate, if possible.
