Framerate Issues

[File2ish]

Apologies for taking so long to submit a reply, and for the large image attached. I can not replicate the issue consistently, only now did it finally happen to me again. In the screenshot below I have the task manager showing GPU usage while the game is running is only being ~70% utilized when it should be pushing the GPU to 100%. The in game FPS counter shows 69FPS, while Nvidia shows 70 (top right). Normally this would be easily at 100-144+ in Eulmore depending on amount of character models being processed. And, as stated before, adjusting resolution and graphical settings do not have an effect on performance when this issue occurs.

I am not attaching a full system report the launcher provides as, after reviewing what it contains, it provides little useful information pertaining to this issue.

The Process Information provided from the system information report generated by the launcher shows no conflicting processes which would interfere with GPU usage in game. As hynaku pointed out, Skype or other programs could have caused this issue. But the due to the inconsistency of the issue, at least to me, does not appear to be a cause of the issue.
