We both have an i5 2500k and 8 gigs of ram. I also just updated her gpu driver to the latest thing and it made no difference.
Additional info: She started as a sylvari...so I thought it might just be their area. Nope! I went to the asura area(where I'm at) and it's even worse! I also tested her fps at the char select screen where it would have the best fps and it caps out at 50 fps and v-sync is not on(even if it was, her monitor has a refresh rate of 60hz) and the frame rate limiter is at unlimited.
So, my question to all of you is: What could be causing this? Her pc is like only a month old and plays other games just fine. Closest comparison I can give is swtor which plays with everything maxed at 60 fps with no problems whatsoever. Could it just be gw2?
