Guild Wars 2

Hoi!

I got asus geforce 1070 card, ssd disks and i7 intel (3.40 ghz).

Atm I run maxed in game but havent touch anything in nvidia settings or well I run DSR thats all. (I dont have a high res screen 4k)

I want to to optimize as much as possible, best quality. In nvidia settings I know I can change alot, but does anyone know whats best for GW2?

Don’t bother with NVIDIA controls, download Sweetfx or Reshade and tweak the templates to your taste, done.

Isnt that a 3rd party prog? + ive heard it can mess up ur game. Nah, I’l stay with my cuttent settings (screenkitten) and soon enough I got my high resolution screen, that will solve most of it I hope.

Just use overwolf and install sweetfx there and you won’t go back to the normal gw2. Best graphics thing to use for me and it will not mess up anything to your game, dw.

Sweetfx/Reshade only looks better and better on larger/newer monitors.
For the best image, that’s the best route. Which is what you asked.
Even though it’s an addon, it doesn’t give you an advantage over anything in-game related besides eye candy.

Anyway, have a good one.

Completely disagree, I use a 42" 1080P LCD display that is a bit older and I will not play the game without Sweetfx.
Not only is the antialiasing better but the sharpness settings and other tweaks make the game look so much better it is crazy.
It doesn’t mess up the game at all and it is awesome!

Have a pretty old 27" monitor and ReShade looks amazing with the right settings.

Here’s an album of Southsun and Orr

And one of my favorite screenshots I’ve taken

Wow! Can this be done with the 64-bit client of GW2 as well?

If so, PLEASE let me download your preset! <3

Yes it can. The 64bit client beta tests is what made me switch from SweetFX(my version didn’t support 64 bit) to ReShade.

Unlike SweetFX, I’ve never tried to share ReShade presets and am rather unsure of what you’d need. I’m assuming it would be a copy of my MasterEffect.h file
and the ReShade.fx file.

The majority of my changes for Gw2 are done purely through the MasterEffect.h table, which is just a text document.

Sorry I didn’t respond sooner. Just saw your post.

Will look into ReShade, thanks! (Am familiar with SweetFX, but never used it for GW2).

Does it influence the game’s performance in any way?

i’m using a radeon 6870 and i play on high settings. Some stuff is turned down to medium like shadows. My game looks amazing. I also use Sweet FX.
