Guild Wars 2

Hi everyone,

I’ve just bought a new geForce 960 because my geForce 560Ti was becoming a bit light for recent games…
My CPU is a Core i5 2500K overclocked at 4GHz, my PC runs Windows 7 with 8gb rams…

I have much better results than before with ALL games except GW2… in which performances dropped… I have lower FPS than before… I just don’t understand. Even turning down settings to the same level I had with my previous GPU, I have lower FPS… I’m now around 15/25 fps… I’d been playing the past 3 years between 40 and 60fps with my previous GPU… Having drops only in really crowded situations (like big zergs fights in WvW)…
I updated my GPU driver… Should I rollback to the previous one? How is it possible that a better GPU gives inferior results?

game is mainly cpu heavy, GPU will have minimum performance upgrade, a 560 can already run the game highest settings with a decent cpu. I believe your i5 2500k may be bottlenecking, my i7 4710hq runs this game flawlessly on highest settings with an 860m overclocked @ 4 ghz.

Still, a better GPU shouldn’t hurt… The same i5 did a fine job until now…
