Unplayable stuttering on PC
I have been playing GW2 through Origin for awhile now but this just happened recently. No changes have been made to my computer. After starting Origin and then the game, it will log in with no probl...

Do you have any overlay programs running in addition to Origin in Game? Things like FRAPS, RiviaTuner (comes with Afterburner), MSI Gaming App, etc things that Draw on the screen.
Try disabling those.

Does changing to Windowed Borderless help? This should be essentially the same thing as Fullscreen and should play fine on nVidia cards that's I've used.
If you have multiple screens and the mouse comes off, there is some software available to "lock" it to one screen with a hotkey.

Still no?
If you Reset your Global 3D Settings in nVidia Control Panel, does it have any affect?
If you use the full nvidia software suite (Experience, etc) but don't use all the features like streaming, 3D, you can disable them. Probably not it but I don't use these services if I don't need them for what I'm doing.
Thanks for replying so quickly. The game just crashed after a couple of hours of play in window mode. There aren't any apps like you mentioned running on my computer. I don't know how to choose window borderless mode. Do you use that through the in-game settings or properties? I only have one screen. I do have nVidia Experience installed but I don't have any of its features enabled. I basically use it to install drivers. No I have not tried resetting the Global 3D settings.
- Approved
I believe it is in the game settings under Graphics. Should give three options (Fullscreen, Windowed, Windowed-Fullscreen///borderless)
If it is not, you can manually set Borderless:
Edit with Notepad
\Documents\PVZ Garden Warfare:GW2\settings\PROF_SAVE_profile
GstRender.FullscreenMode 2
GstRender.FullscreenScreen 1
===================
Check Reliability History to see if it logged that crash you had for PvZGW2.EXE
Click "View Technical Details" and tell me what the Fault Module line says (if the PvZ.EXE crash exists).

There appears to be newer drivers available here:

Driver Date/Size: 2/9/2016 vs 2016.3.28
Tick "Clean Install" under Advanced when installing them.
Ever since I applied Borderless in settings, the game has been running smoothly. Any reason why this happened in the first place?
