I recently built a brand new PC from the ground up, with the help and recommendations of a friend. Upon installing and launching GW2 for the first time, and trying out "Best Appearance", I was only able to hit ~30 frames or lower. So, I tried using Auto-Detect, which again, barely gave me above 30 fps. My buddy was very confused at this, as GW2 is a somewhat-older game, and yet I could only hit 30 max on it. I've never had any trouble with frames in any other game that I've played, many of which are newer than GW2. Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Eight-Core Processor 3.70 GHzInstalled RAM: 16.0 GBSystem Type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processorGraphics Card: EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 He informed me that this should be all I need to list, though if there is any other information anyone needs, I'll happily provide it. I'm also including screenshots of all the settings I had, both at max, and the auto-detect settings. Motion blur is fully off at all times, and my monitor runs at 144Hz, as I upgraded it as well.
Thanks you guys! I tried a loose combination of all three of those, and everything seems to be running quite smoothly now! Even my other games have gained ~30fps thanks to optimizing my graphics card among other things. (I also can't believe I never thought about disabling nametags. Yeesh.)
