can my pc run guild wars 2
All that looks better than what I have so I’m going to say yes.
Would you like some hard cheeze with your sad whine?
True quad core, Intel to boot, plenty of memory and a pretty decent video card. It should play fairly well.
RIP City of Heroes
lol yes you can Download the 64bit client and you’ll be golden for Ultra settings on a 1920×1080 screen if you Go Dual gtx 4k can go ultra with easy frames , if you want you could push 4k with one card but expect 30-40frames in events on average and drops while zerging.
thanks guys. im used to playing on my terrible laptop and getting 10-19fps so i think i will be fine.
if u r running without virtual memory, no.
if u r running with virtual memory, yes.

will i get around 50-60 fps while playing?
In busy highly populated situations, probably not, but solo exploration or small group play yes.

Virtual memory is a feature of an operating system (OS) that allows a computer to compensate for shortages of physical memory by temporarily transferring pages of data from random access memory (RAM) to disk storage. – Google
So, is 8gb without virtual memory enough for gw2? Barely if you include your system required memories (and every single nonsense you run on your background, browser, torrrent, antivius, etc) and the fact that gw2 is now using more than 4gb memory in certain maps if you run max graphics. So, if want to run without virtual memory, is better to have at least 16gb.
However, if you have virtual memory enabled, you can just play the game as normal.
By default, virtual memory is enabled. Most gaming enthusiast will have virtual memory disabled for slight performance gain.

True but modern OS’s assume that virtual memory is enabled because it’s an important tool in handling the distribution of physical memory among all the apps that are running. That means paging out or discarding blocks of memory that applications have loaded but haven’t accessed recently such as the patcher portion of the executable once all patches are applied or the code behind the character select screen or blocks of heap memory that are currently unused.
An Operating System provides two primary services to programs. First an OS provides a common interface to all the hardware in the system so an application doesn’t care the brand of video card, web cam, mouse, network adapter chip set, etc. That’s all hidden behind a common interface so the application developer can safely ignore that. Second an OS gives every application the illusion that it’s the only application running by juggling access to all system resources including physical memory and CPU time among all the apps running. Shutting off the memory paging system knee caps the OS’s ability to do it’s job.

So in a huge group of players ill get like 30-40 or 20-40 fps?
i was thinking to go a bit over my budget and go for the intel i5 haswell core 4690k.
is it worth it?

i5 is a modern standard right now , i3’s are on the weak side maybe good for a year more thats it.
haswell core 4690k is more than enough at the 3.9hgz easly run gw2 without the OC.
with the gtx980 i wouldn’t be worrying about frame rates , my sapphire r9 270 runs at 60frames on high/ultra on a 1080p monitor with 1920by 1080 res in a zerg it drops to 25frames on a fx6300 Oc to 4.3ghz(this is a 2012 cpu).
that cpu and card should see higher results than mine .
if you can afford it do it.

I run 16 GB of RAM and only with the latest 64 bit.exe + running around HoT made me go over 50% RAM usage. (55% to be exact)
Before that it hovered around 44%. So from my experiences your statement of “barely” is an exaggeration.

I have a similar set up. I run the 64 bit client, and my FPS are fine. Solo play you will get over 60, just watch for tearing, I get it inside buildings and caves so I limit my FPS to 60 to avoid it. In zurgs I get no noticeable frame loss. That includes world bosses and HoT boss battles. And that’s with everything set to max.
