Guild Wars 2

Ok so my computer spec are 950 3.07ghz quad core intel, 12gb ddr3 ram, 2xgtx 580 nvidia card. dx 11 1t sata harddrive asus ramage 3 motherboard 950 watt power box.

so what i need is better fps because when i World vs World i like to play melee as a thief i like to run in to middle of battle fields attack players i can not do this at 6 fps. outside of world vs world i can get stable 40 -70 fps easy. but in big fight it droping down to 6 – 10 fps i tried running the game in lower setting it does not effect my fps at all. i had just formatted my computer i figure maybe i had virus on it or something slowing it down but it has not change scene i formatted.

it stresses me out dieing to lag if there no way to fix it. i understand but i don’t want end up quitting guild war 2 because i could not resolve this problem.

thanks any help any of you can give me

The main thing that affects my fps is vsync. Turning it off can skyrocket fps.

The next thing I would check is the tech support area of forums for tips on what to adjust in you nvidia control panel. If I remember correctly, GW2 does not like SLI but that might be related to crashing issues over fps issues.

Another thing is to make sure your running proper drivers. With one GTS 450 i average 50ish fps and around 25-30 in wvw.

1. Make sure your Render Sampling is set to Resolution (Default).
Subsample cuts your pixals in 1/2. So 1920×1080 is like playing 960×540 magnified double size.
Supersample doubles your pixals. Trying to put 2x as many on your screen.

2. Like Wookalar said, Turn off Vsync. With Vsync on if your video card cant handle automatically cuts your FPS in 1/2. Example, Your Card wants 60 fps, if you pull 30-59 it will automatically limit it and give you 30. If your card hits 15-29 it will automatically limit it at 15. This should only be used if you have severe screen tearing of images.

3. Try keeping your Shadows set to None. Even if you have a system that handles them fine most of the time with good FPS, having this turned off will help keep your fps up when you do get in areas that hit your FPS hard.

4. Try keeping your Shaders toned down a bit, but not necessarily off. This will also help like #3.

5. If all else fails…upgrade your CPU to a 2550K or a 3570K and overclock it to 4.5 Ghz. This is probably your biggest improvement but its not free like the others.

thanks everyone for the help i will go test all of this info
