Low fps in multiple games

[jebus138]

Hi guys, hopefully someone can help me. I have started playing guild wars 2 again, and I'm getting seriously low fps (rang from 10fps to 20fps at best).

My system:
I5 2500k (currently oced at 3.8)
Gtx780 ti
Mobo z68 ftw
16 gb ram @ 1600

Things I have tried:
Completely removed all drivers and only installed the recent ones.
Set affinity for gw2 to use all cpu cores
Set gw2 to high priority
Turned off vsync in game, then turned it on via the Nvidia experience.

Monitored all Temps and they are very low, checked usage, and nothing looks to be bottle necked.

Cpu usage does not get over 55%
Gbu clock is at 3499MHz.

Everythung appears to be running optimally, I just cannot figure out why I'm getting such low fps.

If anyone has any suggestions it would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Your drivers still may not have been properly removed:

If you have graphics or driver issues, one of the most common fixes is a clean uninstall and removal of your graphics drivers.

To uninstall your drivers, first download and run Display Driver Uninstaller, and follow it's recommendations of booting into safe mode and ect.
(This is a direct download link so you don't grab the wrong version)
http://www.guru3d.com/files-get/display-driver-uninstaller-download,20.html

You'll download a compressed file called "[Guru3D.com]-DDU.zip"
Right click and choose extract.
Go into the folder and run the DDU v##.##.exe
This will extract more files to this folder.
Run Display Driver Uninstaller.exe
Choose Yes when it asks you to boot into SafeMode.
After you've rebooted into safe mode.
When DDU comes up, if it hasn't selected your GPU manufacturer (Nvidia/AMD/Intel) then choose it from the drop down list
Press the Clean and Restart option
If a window comes up asking to disable the Windows automatic installation of display drivers click yes.

After (or before removing the old drivers, just put the new ones on the desktop or somewhere handy) rebooting back into Windows, manually download the latest drivers from Nvidia or AMD, don't use auto detect, choose you GPU model and OS from the drop down lists.

Hey James,

Thanks for the reply, I actually used DDU in safe mode to remove all the drivers, then reinstalled...Unfortunately I'm still getting low fps.

uhh, have you tried playing with the settings? not just using presets. Like turn off Shadows or AA.

Yep I have tried various settings, nothing seems to really change that much. If I drop everything to low, then I get maybe 20fps.
