Guild Wars 2

Hello, I’m looking to upgrade my processor since GW2 is such a CPU intensive game. However I’m somewhat attached to my current motherboard allowing me to crossfire two Radeon HD 6870s and I’m lacking in disposable income. Unfortunately that leaves me at a FM2 socket… Which I do realize is not the best, however most other games I play I have very little issue reaching “stable” 60+ FPS

For GW2 would upgrading from my A1-5700 to a A10-6800k give my any significant boost?

The stats say it’s a moderate upgrade but I have no idea what that translates to for FPS, at the moment I’m getting around 30 in pvp would that mean I’ll keep a stable 45 – 50? or could I possibly hit my sought after stable 60?

have you looked at the CPU hierarchy charts, puts both of those in the same category. so i would say its not a worthy upgrade…

if you want a real upgrade, (and i always was an AMD fan) but save a little cash get an intel MOBO and an i5-4690 or higher… if u wanna stay AMD, you can get an m5a97 FM3+ AMD mobo cheap and get an fx 8000x series…

but id go with intel…

i will say tho i ran GW2 on an fx-6300 with m5a97 mobo and HD7850 1gig GPU, and had med-high settings 40-60+fps…

but now i went intel with an i7-4790k (still using same single GPU with 60fps+ everywhere high….) and never looked back.
