If you need to OC your system, then you are doing something wrong.

Overclocking is pretty much mandatory if you want 60FPS or to get close in all situations. Even at 4.5GHz I only get ~45 in LA and it drops down to ~50 in the new maps in places

And why do you need 60fps? As long as it stays above 24-30fps the game is still completely playable. As long as you do not see stuttering then you don’t need to OC. Only a persons need to say they are getting 60fps requires overclocking. I can play the game in all content, and do not get noticeable frame drops anywhere. No matter what I’m doing, be it world boss or massive WvW zurg blobs. And that’s with the settings maxed.

So I stick to what I said, if you need to overclock your system, your are doing something wrong.

Yeah, but it’s stuttery and inputs feel laggy, especially down to 24. ~30 is all right in heavy zerg situations but outside of that it’s awful.

Yeah, except stuttering is obvious at 30FPS. Even 45 is pretty bad because of the different frame times causing a jump when a frame is held for 2 refreshes.

You can get 24fps in world boss zergs with character density on highest and reflections on all?

That would have to depend on your standards. I can’t stand to

Yes, I must do, as I said, I’ve never had stuttering with my current setup. Everything is, as it was out of the box. The only thing I’ve done, is install the MSI gaming app so my GPU can be set to gaming mode by default. That is it.

But I also know that every system is different, and parts act differently with other parts, and dew to manufacturing no two parts will be identical, dew to tolerances and what not of components. Unless in the last ten years resistors, transistors, diodes and capacitors can be made identical then maybe they can. At any rate my system seems to stay between 30-45 in big zurgs, and anything up to 111fps out in the world if I’m in a cave or building. But seems to run, at around the high 90’s in open world when there are not many people around, in dungeons and fractals its between 50-60, depending on the fight, and what classes I’m with. But then when I’m playing games, I don’t tend to have anything else running other than the normal system stuff, and AV, maybe TS if I’m doing things with friends.

30fps+ in this game is perfectly playable without issue, its not CoD…. ive never ever felt laggy, on various maps except the stupid svanir boss the snow effects kill FPS… i dont wvw alot, but i lead HoT maps alot. DO NOT SPEND 500$ on a gpu just for gw2. if u plan to play other games then upgrade accordingly.

Have to agree with everyone that answered.

On my current setup (i5 3470 3.20GHz,8Gb Ram 1600 and R9 380) my gameplay is laggy and I hav micro shuttering when turning the camera. I tried everything before thinking of upgrading and nothing changed. Even deactivating Reflexions and Shadows and the gameplay still feels laggish (and no it’s not becasue of my internet connection – Gibit connection).
