Hi everyone,

Does anyone have a good understanding of the R7 260X? I’ve watched several videos and seen that it can handle The Witcher 3, but I was wondering if anyone could tell me what to expect with this GPU and running GW2

This would probably be fine for gw2. What are you upgrading from though?

With gw2 it is often the cpu bottlenecking improved performance.

I didn’t have one before. I was relying on on-board graphics.

Holy kitten!!! It’s running well!!!

gw2 is cpu intensive, that graphic will work just fine on gw2.

Think you can crank your graphic settings up a bit there mrauls.

Thanks for your previous help, Behellagh! I don’t like shadows/post processing/ and shaders all that much. It can really mess w me in combat :s. I tried out subersampling, and while I can do it, I don’t feel the small graphics boost is worth the loss of fps

I’m more about the pretty than maintaining 60 fps. Tyria is quite beautiful.

Yeah, also don’t worry about the fps drops in zergs for open world events. Everyone is getting them. Even people with really good hardware see a substantial fps drop.
