Guild Wars 2

I was wondering if i am the only one suffering from a preformance drop.

I am running an MDA system and it appears only guildwars2 runs like my processor and graphix card is non excistent.

I play the heist 2 highest settings, heavy cpu games flawless, yet.. i went from 40fps average at launch gw2.. to running 20 fps max.

als i have way more preformance issues. i used to be able to run medium settings easy, now i must tone down to minimum to get a sub par preformance.

how is it that guildwars runs so poorly on AMD systems?

That’s strange, I went from the mid 60’s to well over 80FPS since last patch and at SOME TIMES in the triple digits, but, I am running an Intel system. I’m biased towards Intel for gaming and AMD as toaster ovens. LOL

AMD processors are slower than Intel’s in terms of performance per core. While the game is multithreaded there is still a main thread that syncs everything and since no thread can go faster than the performance of a single core, it doesn’t matter if you have a lot of cores. For me I’ve seen the game on my AMD quad hover between 50-75% of CPU performance or roughly 2 to 3 cores of work.

Also the game gets to be very CPU bound in large crowds of other players, even if they are simply standing around so frame rates drop in WvW, boss fights and certain areas in the major cities. LA by the MF is a prime location for a big slowdown.

may have posted in the wrong forum, thanks for the info \. currently cleaning up my pc in general, updating drivers, checking out sweetfx and fps optimalizers etc.

cheers.

It’s not just AMD OP. The Black Citadel used to run smoothly on my comp. at launch (I’d occasionally get a dip to single digit fps that alt tabbing to desktop and back solved). Now it’s pathetic low fps constantly, the optimisation team (if there even is one) are hopeless.

yeah, i was actually be able to fraps and stream on lower settings at launch run around 30fps with detected settings on medium.
Now my detected settings are lowest. ^^
