New pc help
With the specs you provided, you’ll most likely running WvWvW at 20 fps – 30 fps range. What is your budget?
Looks fine to me. I have GTX 1050 Ti, and GW2 is not specially demanding game. Once the zergs fight in WvW, everyone gets lag. You can aslo tune down video settings if things feel slow.
80+ fps in WvW lol, troll post or what… that is literally the lowest end of hardware. Its worse than the 5 year old machine I use for GW2 and it croaks in zerg combat.
Of course it’ll work, but you wont maintain any 80+ fps. In large clashes I doubt Titan XP in SLI config can even do that.
Looks good. Not a game that requires a 1080Ti.

GW2 in my experience doesn’t really use the threads a processor provides really well. The result is that intel just tends to trump AMD here, because AMD is designed better for multicore performance.
Keep in mind that I do use an AMD processor myself, but I’ve rarely gotten frames above 40 FPS on any graphics setting with Vsync turned off. And if I were to look at my hardware information… none of my parts are actually being stressed.
Except Ryzen closed that gap by a fair amount. Price wise the Ryzen’s a better deal Leo.

Hello,
I can tell you when I first started to play this game I was running an AMD processor… and I forget the GPU… I always experienced low frames in GW2, never knew why. Some time later I bought the GTX 980 (When it was the hot card to have) and noticed I gained very little FPS… I finally caved in and got a i7 (way overkill for GW2 but I do use my PC for other things) and my frames JUMPED… With that being said I feel the Ryzen CPU has greatly closed the gap in performance and you should see decent frames… If you can get your hands on a Ryzen 5 instead that would really help your cause… Also WvW is very demanding and expending a budget machine to push that kind of Frames is unrealistic, but even at lower 30-60 FPS in WvW zerg it’ll still be playable.

I know, but I haven’t seen the benchmarks on how Ryzen performs with GW2. I am only going off of my current knowledge.

And we never will because GW2 has no real benchmark and no one will bother to do it. But fact remains is that Ryzen got similar single thread IPC to Intel 6th/7th gen – the reason CPUs like 7700K wins is because they are often clocked a gigahertz higher and some games love clock speed. That makes a huge difference…. if you game at 1080p or below at least. At 1440p or 4K most CPUs flatten out and perform similar, they are limited by GPU then (unless they choke, such as AMD FX generation).
The reason you buy 8 core Ryzens today is for flexibility and future proofing, not getting every tiny little frame out of games. As has been noted by reviewers, they could go from a machine completely locked down by jobs such as video rendering for hours to a machine they could render video, record video and game smoothly at the same time.
A 6c/12t Coffee Lake would be interesting but I think it’s gonna cost a fair bit over an 1800X for less multithread performance and only marginally faster than 7700K gaming performance.
Either way it’s not cheap so probably not for OP lol.
Ryzen does like faster ram. I’d get 3200 MHz that is Ryzen compatible. If you’re not going to learn how to overclock I would go for the 1300x for the slightly higher clock speed. If you can afford it I’d get the 1400 so you get virtual threads.
From personal experience – Kingstone is kitten. I wouldn’t buy a roll of toilet paper from them, let alone a piece of hardware.
