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...

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.
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?
Unfortunately I am still having the same issues.

Did you try updating your drivers here:

Tick "Clean Install" under Advanced.

Borderless vs Fullscreen both lag the same now? It used to fix this issue but now doesn't or was just a short placebo?
---
Are you playing Multiplayer game modes or Co-Op game modes? Co-Op modes are hosted by users and on poor connections it can cause bad gaming conditions.
---
Rename (or delete) t he Documents\PVZ:GW2 folder will reset in-game settings to defaults on next launch. Maybe something got changed somehow?
---
Do you have any user.cfg file the base directory of the game (you would have had to put one there as it isn't stock). Maybe something bogus is in it, try renaming (or deleting) it.
----
I know you said you didn't have overlays.. but maybe something is sneaky around. Try disabling Origin-in-Game for GW2 as a test. If this fixes the problems something is likely causing issues for Origin-in-Game (needed for features like store, friend joining etc).
----
Other programs in the background hogging resources? CtlAltDel should suffice for checking around. One guy I remember a while ago had a coin-miner type virus program causing extremely poor game performance.
