Hi! Ever since GW2 came out I’ve played on mediocre specs and used to low graphics and lag in populated areas but recently I basically bought a new rig that’s atleast 5 times better than my last one and got kind of confused since I still have bad fps in populated areas such as Lion’s Arch.

Now Im not running on the highest settings, some stuff mixed medium-high and the only thing that’s the highest quality is the character details/textures. Im not completely sure but it feels like even though I have those settings, I should be getting better performance.

Current specs:
GTX 1070 8b, i7-5820 @ 3.30hz, 16gb RAM

My current fps when standing at the bank in LA is roughly around 35-45 and it feels like it should be better. I know that the game is cpu heavy so I wanted to ask you if my cpu is too weak or maybe not working properly for the game?

And also feel free to post your settings/performance and specs, seen a couple of people running similar rigs as me and getting better performance on some other games.

Thanks!

40-45 FPS moving around bank area in LA. Laptop hardware tho..
Specs: i7-6700HQ 2.60GHz, GTX 980M 8GB, 32GB RAM

Edit: My brother’s laptop with just a GTX 960M runs GW2 smoother than mine constantly pulling in 5-10 more fps, on higher setting than me
