Guild Wars 2.

Well, according to some of the benchmarks for GW2, the GTX 550ti gets 100-120fps on minimum settings @1920x1080, my 560 ti only gives me 70-90 with the latest drivers installed.

Yes there seems to be some serious optimization problems, I have seen dozens of threads all saying the same thing. Hoping they will patch soon bc having two 7970s that hold bf3 ultra at 90-140 fps and still dip to 40fps in gw2 @ ultra is just ridiculous.

EDIT: Why play on minimum settings with a 560ti??

wow 33C that 560 is not doing anything. Crank the details up to max settings see what you get then. 70 fps is not bad at all

Because, atleast for me, it can't really handle anything else.

you're running 70-90 and you're saying your card cannot handle higher detail? do explain

Okay, will do.

When I set Shaders, shadows, post processing, textures and environment on medium, I won't get above 45 fps, sometimes drops to 20's if there's a town nearby (even empty ones).

That doesn't make sense... are you sure you're running the game with 560ti over intel HD?

And check if your vram utilization is at 100%, maybe it's hitting the ceiling. Make sure the card is clocked properly under load.

Check that you don't have any settings being forced through nvidia control panel

I don't see how your gpu can be 33C under load

I don't know if this will help you at all, but here it is anyways. My MSI Kombustor score.

People with good video hardware (such as the response with 2 7970's) that are having dips are usually in scenarios where the dip is CPU related, because GW2 is an MMO and like all other MMO's it relies pretty heavily on the CPU for certain tasks when many people are present. Sadly, it's not terribly well optimized at that task.

Took an SS of my GPU usage (99% at 40c)

well looking how you got shadows on medium, doesn't look like you're playing on lowest settings. If you wish better fps, run it in full screen, rendering windows and the game takes more toll on the GPU
