Did you give my fix a go? same thing happened when i fitted my 1070gtx ,give it a try I did do the power settings thing but isnt that for 3d? Anyways after that didnt help at all. I dont understand the part about the riser card thing, i dont think i have anything like that. Video card is just in the first slot on my mbIf it didn't make any changes then perhaps it's not the same as mine I also removed all the overlay programs I have like discord overlay,MSI afterburner and even Nvidia shadowplay

So here`s my little fix, Or major to be honest WIth all my other games, The Witcher, Csgo, Pubg,fortnite etc the pc was running smooth AF!!But on GW2 my card kept showing 100% usage and super low frames on MSI afterburner, so this is what I did... *I removed my 1070 GTX from the riser card adapter and into my 1st PCIe slot(REASON)On GPU-Z it shows PCI x1 speed v3 instead of x16, I've searched several sites and forums to see if this is actually the problem and most tests show you get 20-30% performance loss with a normal adapter (not the proper riser cables) on several games,But that wasn't the reason my card kept showing 95-100% usage on Best Performance or Best appearance *The other thing I did was set the power management mode in NVIDIA control panel to Prefer maximum performance instead of Optimal power Nvidia Control Panel>>Manage 3d settings>>Power Mangement mode>>Prefer Maximum performance My game is super smooth now with everything on ultraI'm not saying this is the fix for the random frame drops, but it sure as hell fixed my problem! https://imgur.com/fNzK7Gn

Thank goodness its just not me... Upgrade my pc 2 weeks ago and tried everything with this horrible frame drop,I'm getting exactly the same frames on the new pc compared to the old one, Its a 70 frame drop to a 15 frame drop!?!? here is my old and new specs OLDi7 3770k16gb 1333mhz memory1050 4gb Asus GPU4gb SATA drive NEWi7 9700k16gb 2666mhz memoryasus 1070 GTX dual 8gb240gb SSD And yeti get exactly the same frames and frame drops I had, With the best performance, best appearance settings Now I know this is a huge upgrade compared to what I had, fresh win 10 64bit install, Fresh game files(64bit client), latest drivers etc I've been playing gw2 since the beginning and everything started with the POF launch (just my opinion)I also see posts from early 2017 about this problem and yet no fix... what's up guys?? Please don't keep us in this loop PS: Same problem on my wives 8700k setup
