    but while on the regular maps there is no fps issue even though the utilization is 60-80%, the fps seem to be stuck at a certain limit between 25-30 with utilization increasing and decreasing to keep that certain fps?

    GW2 does use way more resources on GPU's than it should on both brands. So yeah hopefully the next release of drivers will improve it immensely.

    Try using ThrottleStop. It has done wonders for me and my 7970m in GW2 (Getting constant 60fps in most areas).
