Guild Wars 2

Intel GMA HD 4000…running on medium settings, 30ish fps during PvE and 20ish fps during WvW…works for me on a $500 laptop.

I have an overclocked gtx 480. Run everything on Max and have had no issues with fps or anything.

Radeon HD 7770

(Must make this post longer)

Radeon HD 6850.. however, during the beta’s they tested each persons computer for hardware right? I’m pretty sure they know what percentage of users have DX11 graphics cards…

I don’t know if they kept those records. However, I’ve upgraded my GPU since then.

GTX 480, overclocked to be equivalent to a 580

GTX 275, it’s been a great card the last 2 years.

Gigabyte Nvidia GTX 560 Ti. Loved it at first, but Gigabyte’s crappy fans are dying after barely a year of use (and JUST out of warranty). And DX11. I’m going to replace the card shortly probably with the same chipset, but a different manufacturer.

So yeah, dunno why there’s no DX11 support?

Nvidia Geforce GTX 570

Anyone looking to upgrade in the first quarter of 2013 should wait for the next gen cards. For nvidia that is the 700 series. They always release the new series somewhere between january and march. If looking to upgrade now I’d go with the top of the line card to get a 2-3 years or more before having to upgrade again. Anything less I don’t think can run GW2 at max settings with over 20fps. I got 20fps at max settings on my GTX 460 OC 2GB and the fps would drop lower in areas with a lot of activity and such like the cities and in zergs.

I have a Radeon 7850, but, honestly, I could care less about DX11 support…

I’d rather just wait till the 700 series is out so the 600 series drops in price. Cheaper for me, and I’ll have a card that’ll last me several years and generations of games XD

Nvidia GTX 660 (DX11 support). Maintain 60fps in Lion’s Arch, on maxed settings (expect reflections & shadows).

I use two GTX 280’s in SLI. (1gb versions)
Each one performs about as well as a HD 7770, but half the price
No DX11 support, though.

GTX 670.

Ultra settings, no lag ever.

EVGA Geforce 560ti 2gb OC’d.. with my i7 3.4ghz – 8g RAM – on a 21" monitor im getting on average 50-60Fps never dips below 45 in WvW.. LOVE IT

I use an EVGA GeForce GTX 660 Ti. I get about 60fps, unless I’m in the Black Citadel, at which point it’s a slide-show. :S

EVGA GTX 570 Classified

HD 7950 3072MB (DX 11 – as much as you get without nvidea anyway, think its only tesselation that doesnt work, but could be wrong).

I also have an i7 3820 and 16GB RAM – my fps barely drops below 60.

I use an AMD Radeon HD 6850. I play with near-ultra settings on 1600 × 900 resolution since I play on a 40" TV that is 10 ft away anyways, also having the icons a little bigger is nice since I still click the icons for skill usage :-P

Windows 7 64bit, Core i5 2500K at stock settings still tho, have an SSD for windows and 2 hard disks, 1 for games/data and 1 for backing the other 2 drives up.

This computer plays GW2 amazingly :-) I’m very happy with it.

I run an EVGA GTX 560Ti 448 FTW edition.
My brother runs a Zotax GTX 560Ti.
Both are DX 11 compatible.

My other siblings share a computer, but only have SLIed 9800GT’s that run DX 10. (My brother’s old card and my old card). However, for christmas I’m looking to give them an upgrade, something like a GTX 650 (runs DX 11).

Great responses.
Im glad people are responding. I just hope Anet sees this and takes it to heart.

Also guys its not a “show off” post either. No one cares if your using intergrated Intel 3000 or whatever. This is just to see what the player base is running.

So keep posting!

AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series

Gigabyte AMD 7850 OC 2gb

The one in my sig

Nvidia GTX 560 Ti

Agree..theres no need to post what SSD or what CPU or Ram you have…GPU’s Only people,this is no bragging contest.

GTX670 (DX11). OC’d to be about the same as a stock 680 if that matters.

GTX 260m.

Really, really good for being an old laptop card. Still runs everything on medium or better.

ATI 4870 1 gig Win 7 x64 1080p Q9550 @4Ghz Quad core CPU max settings. You can have Direct x 11 without a direct x 11 card. Just need a direct x 11 OS like Vista or Win 7/8

EVGA GTX 560 SC 1 gb

Maybe Arenanet should make 2 clients, one for low spec PC and other for High performance PCs…

Radeon HD 6750, medium-high settings. I guess i could set the settings higher but right now i have absolutley no lag anywhere.

MB Ivy bridge CPU icore7 3770k AMD 7970 DX11 rig.
But im affraid when WIN8 comes we will see even more scattred OS and have maybe in 2014 first games with DX 11 if where lucky.

Phenom II 965 @ 4 Ghz
HD 6870 Crossfire – Xfire gives me about 0 more FPS

Everything maxed except shadows and reflections and LOD on high

GTX 570.
18-24 fps in Lion’s Arch. ^^

Nvidia Geforce GTS 450

560M

It’s mobile, it’s DX11 and it slices through (Most) games on high settings.

Can’t enable super sampling in GW2 but everything else is maxed and I get a constant 35 FPS

EVGA GTX 660Ti FTW Edition Signature 2 series Factory Over Clocked.

I’m still using an old card, ATI HD 4870 512MB. It was already average when I bought it about 4 years ago but I’ve never had any reason to complain about it. Coupled with an old and cheap core duo 3GHz my computer can run the game full details, 1680*1050, with an average of 20FPS. Which is rather good considering how outdated my system is.

NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 2GB… working great!!

Nvidia Geforce GTX 560 Ti
Intel i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30 GHz (4CPUs)
Display: 1920×1080

Max settings except the “supersampling”.

60fps in small/medium area
40-60fps in large areas
30-60fps in huge WvW zergs

This game deserves to get the DirectX11 support!

Running two XFX Radeon HD5870’s in crossfire mode. Bought them brand new when they first came out. When the HD5870 was released it was the only DX11 video card on the market at the time.

No supersampling and reflections set to terrain & sky only, but everything else is maxed and I get a comfortable 35 FPS.
