Will a graphics card change help me fps?
Hi
Since I had some issues with my GTX 560 I bought and am getting installed a GTX 670.
What are the typical fps for it with everything at ultra?
Oh and my screen is 1980×1080.And I’m upgrading from 8G to 12G of ram.
:/
I am pretty sure your graphics card isn’t the problem. Nor will the ram do anything to help. What CPU do you have? And I mean seriously, unless you know why you need 12GB of ram or know exactly what you are gonna be doing that will need 12 gigs of ram, you don’t need that much ram. 8 is perfectly fine.
Honestly, a 560 should have no problem with the game (it ran perfectly smooth at max on my old 460). Have you tried just nuking the PC’s Windows and reinstalling first? It might just be your windows and drivers all gunked up.
I have a 560 and other than LA were i run about 30 to 50 FPS most of the time im about 60 to 70 FPS
I’d be more concerned aboot your cpu than another graphics card. BUT. More the merrier!

My cpu is going to be an i5
And yeah my old computer was completly messed up. Hardware was failing, memory was getting cut in half. It was a pain. And the reason I’m getting this computer mostly is cause BestBuy cut 300 off the 1300 computer since they messed up 4 times in a row.

Ah. Personally, I wouldn’t bother putting a 670 into a system with an i5 processor, but it may work out; if so, let us know. I’m running a 560 in an i7 system with 12 GB of RAM and can run best appearance at 25 to 45 FPS just about everywhere in-game.

Oh just out of curiousity why wouldn’t you put a 670 with an i5?
The i5 appears to be the limiting factor for GW2. I have an i5 2500k at 4.6 GHz and two GTX 680s. I previously had two 560s and one 680. No difference in FPS synched to my monitor’s 60 Hz refresh rate – Lion’s Arch is still dog slow.
Other games will benefit from the 670 over the 560 though.
The better your pc is…the better overall perfomance will be from OS to gaming.
I took an arrow to the knee
As i ran gw1 on a socket 462 I had to build a new PC to be able to run/play gw2 so with that i went a little over the top but i’m still not happy with performance while playing gw2

(unable to cast any skills at all) unplayable at this point.
During the Wintersday event in LA = 27-42 Fps.
LA with no event = 48-82 Fps.
Outside CoF Dungeon 186 -250+ Fps.
Inside CoF by the Armor Repair anvil = 24-37 Fps, rest of dungeon = 58-89 Fps.
CoF seems to get a lot of Lag & Disconnects, all tho i personally don’t suffer that much from it there.
