I had this problem with my RX580 years ago. If you look closely at the logs(line 31 and 32) the GPU core clocks hit "idle" speeds of 300mhz, which drops his PCI-E speeds to x2(instead of x8) and I suspect that's where the problem starts. It's part of AMD's idle power consumption profiles. When it ramps back up to full power is when the freezing kicks in. Since you're already running RTSS, i suspect you have Afterburner as well? Create a "3D" profile with your desired GPU clock speeds, it doesn't matter if its manufacturer speeds or overclocked based on your reported temps, and create another "2D" profile set for idle clocks, I had decent results with 150/300. That will stop your Core clocks from fluctuating, which happens when windows applications take priority over your running application, and that happens often.(memory clocks will continue to be variable) I'm almost certain that will resolve your issue. If not report back with more logs like you've given and I will analyze.

Some people are insufferable. I went through HoT on my guard before the PoF powercreeps sat in and did just fine. Don't remember what gear I was in but it was most likely Rampagers(condition focused). You use a character boost to 60, without actually playing, complain about not having money to buy good gear(Because you didn't play the game). Now you get free gear and still decide its impossible. This is the biggest L2P issue I've seen in a long time.

This is pretty much all true(for Gw2).Though these days we have dx912.pxy which would probably help Mryah a little bit.Having only 8gb of RAM will surely hit bottlenecks with dx912.

I think not. Your hardware configuration is still pretty common. The tech support forum would be flooded with like posts if it was a mistake on Anets end.

Not sure if its the case with laptops/switchable GPUs but I always had trouble with Radeon Control Panel/WattMan sticking in idle power clock states(150/300 instead of 1340/2030mhz) with Gw2 and only Gw2. I disabled Radeons control over that and use MSI Afterburner with custom "2d/3D" clock profiles and solved that problem.

I have never had Gw2 use over 4GB of RAM, even with the 64bit client. Until I installed dx912.pxy and I've seen it eat up over 10gb of RAM(of 16GB) without a problem. It actually performs much better. I'm thinking the problem lies elsewhere.

I've heard about polling rate issues, but never had it be a problem through my myriad of different hardware/software configs. Which I dont understand.

Your advice is solid, but this setting should not be a problem for him as its GPU-bound and the RX580 is more than enough.(I use one, myself) I'm willing to bet his GPU clocks aren't scaling correctly. I had a huge issue with my Core and Memory clocks sticking in their "idle state" of 150/300 while the game was running. AMD's "WattMan" doesn't do a good job controlling frequencies and power limits in my opinion. I disabled all wattman Overclocking settings and use MSI Afterburner+Rivatuner for overclocking and On Screen Display. Works flawlessly.

Everything is maxed besides Native Sampling and characters. High character limit and Hi-Res Characters is the first thing I'd turn down.

As far as general gameplay improvement gains, moving from a Hard drive to solid state is the biggest upgrade you an make cost/performance for Gw2. Can't beat going from ~1min LA load times(first load upon starting the game) to <15 seconds. But you'll still get heavy FPS hits. Going from something like an FX-6300 to an OC'ed 8700k would be nearly as large of a improvement to gameplay experience.

Most of the replies after OP solved his issue tell me Bet Aviator and Flash both have +200 processes running at all times and wonder why a single thread-dependant game cant hit +100 fps.

Nice crop, lowest settings?

Dawdler is correct about relying on single core performance. If you compare scores on this list your 1090T(Thuban x6's released april 27th, 2010) scored 90 points in the single core test, your new fx6300(Piledriver, released may 10th 2012) scores 94.(stock clocks) Around the same time as the Piledriver fx 6300 launched, the intel Ivy Bridge i5-3570k launched. And at stock the i5 was doing +130 on the same cinebench test, which is miles ahead as far as Gw2 is concerned. These days, intels enthusiast chips(i7 8700k) are pulling 208 in single core while the Ryzen 2700x is doing a respectable 177. Bottom line, you went from a near top of the line Thuban with 6 real cores and 6 real threads to a mid-range Piledriver with 3 cores+3 modules and 6 "Threads". Comparable to intels Hyperthreading in a way. Read more about Clustered MultiThreading here. So, sadly, even with the core speed increase, what you ended up with is more of a side-grade.

I've opened probably 30 chests since anet said they fixed it and haven't encountered a single problem.

So this is strange. Today I went to get my Blood in the Water daily done, went to Frostgorge this time instead of Gendarran, where I had been going since this bug cropped up(10 keys ago). Oddly enough, I was able to loot the chest and while waiting for krait to spawn, another random person came by and looted it(you can see the chest opening animation). Don't think it's "Fixed" though, there was another person killing krait and said that chest was bugged for him.
