Guild Wars 2

Beldin.5498:

Your card runs @x4 instead of @x16 .. thats the reason for poor performance.

Reason are either the card is in the wrong slot, the correct is normally the one
next to your CPU .. or simply contact problems, and maybe reseating of the
card is enough to fix it.

I had it in the wrong spot! Thanks for the help, that fixed it!

Okay, I’ll take a look at it.

Make sure your GPU runs @x16 .. post a picture like this one for diagnostic reasons :

Here you go

So I upgraded my GTX 760 to an R9 390 yesterday and since then, my FPS has been terrible in GW2. All other games like The Witcher 3, Rust, Planetside 2, GTA V, and so on, run perfectly at highest or near-highest settings.

I know GW2 is heavily reliant on CPU, but I wasn’t having this problem before I upgraded my GPU.

Here’s a link to a reddit post I made about this topic which includes a list of my PC build.

Attached is a screenshot of the settings I generally use.

Any help would be great! Thanks!

EDIT for clarity: I was running at 60 fps in low population areas (like Queensdale) with no problem with my 760 at high settings. As you can see, it’s now much lower. All of my drivers are current and I have all of the Windows updates.
