Guild Wars 2

Good morning everyone,

I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this question, but I just wanted to ask it anyway.

Now keep in mind I’m not very tech savvy so please excuse my lack of knowledge on the subject, but I recently did some small upgrades to my PC. mainly upgraded the graphics card and put in kitten in preparation for PoF.

I upgraded my GTX 750 Ti to a 1050. I used to play the game on mostly high settings and get around 45 fps in Divinity’s Reach and hover around 15-20 on big events such as Tequalt. However with my new card I’m only getting around 40-50 in Divinity’s Reach and 23 at Teq.

I was told at the store that bumping from 750 to 1050 wouldn’t be a HUGE upgrade but should allow me to play at the same settings I was before with 20-30 more fps on average, I’m finding this just isn’t true, and I’m not sure what the problem is. When I upgraded my old graphics card to the 750 I saw a huge improvement, and sure I might have expected a little too much from this 1050 but surely there had to be some improvement compared to the 750.

Any ideas on what the problem could be? I also have heroes of the storm on my pc and that game saw nearly a 70fps increase from 50 to around 120 fps.

The game is far more reliant on CPU clock speed although s decent GPU certAinly helps. Can you arrange for an o/c somehow?

Since you can similar results between the 2 GPUs it might be that your CPU is the bottleneck. Check to see if your CPU has very high usage while playing

you should reinstall your graphic drivers first. Gw2 is more cpu oriented.

It’s a CPU intensive game, like most MMOs.

Even with a 1080 I don’t have perfect specs, I still run low graphics in WvW for example :P

on my msi 1060 4 gig on my amd fx 8350 4.0 and not over clocked . I have found if you play with the settings and set your fire wall to high on your anti virus’s soft ware . with these settings in this pic in most places I can get 125 fps unless I am doing teq then it drops down to 60 fps and at times in LA it will very from 45 to 60 fps .

in Nvidia cards i always look at it this way, anything 60 and lower is good for movies but that’s it, anything above that is made for games.
i now have a 1080 and have no problems at all with a constant 60+ FPS, i even have Vsync on so the FPS doesn’t go higher then what my screen can handle.
