Well I don’t mean to be rude or anything but this game is meant to be played on a computer not on an abacus. OFC it would increase your fps by a certain amount but seriously you need a whole brand new pc to be honest.

Hello Lone Gamer!
sorry my english it’s terrible.
Guild Wars 2 has been reported for a lot of people with excellent pc specs about low fps when they are in large cities and sometimes in open world, especially in large cities.
About your pc spec, I think a new video card will really help you, if you can please upgrade your memory too, at least 4gb would be nice and will help you a lot.
And please do a research in the forum, you will see a lot of people complaining about this issue, I’m getting painful 5 fps in charr hometown, however in the open world I fell sometimes the low fps issue too.
Good lucky and well come to the game.

Hey Guild Wars 2 People, I am brand new to the game (and asking for technical help) and i am only getting 4 FPS in Plains of Ashford, right after the Charr ‘tutorial’ area. I have
Operating System: Windows XP Professional
Processor: AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+, MMX, 3DNow (2 CPUs), ~2.0GHz
Memory: 1982MB RAM
Card name: NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE
Display Memory: 256.0 MB
DAC type: Integrated RAMDAC(Integrated into the Motherboard, 256MB)
So my question is, If i were to buy a 512MB Graphics Card, Would it make any increase in my FPS at all?
Based on personal experience with my sibling’s dated system, your current bottleneck in your system is your graphics card. However, realize that you are running close to, if not the exact bare minimum requirements to run the game (not play it efficiently necessarily). My sibling’s rig had a 9800GT 512MB and ran the game slightly below 10FPS…it was pretty bad. I felt bad for them and for Christmas last year, I got them a GTX 650Ti 1GB for close to 100 bucks. This is the card I recommend to buy AT A MINIMUM to play this game around 30FPS in normal PvE at a resolution of 1600×900.
If you plan on doing large dynamic events efficiently (dragon events) or large chaotic battles of 100+ people, then I recommend coming from circa 2006ish to 2013 and purchase a new CPU and everything required to update to the latest specifications of today’s computers. If you can hold off another month or so, Intel is releasing it’s latest rendition of its consumer desktop processors codenamed Haswell. If my Nehalem buckled anywhere else besides GW2 I might upgrade to Haswell, but for now I have no need for it.

Hi Lone Gamer – As others may have mentioned, upgrading can be tricky and sometimes time consuming business. The most important thing to keep in mind here is to do some research before buying new parts.
Upgrading your graphics card may be good for a little while (though this may not give you a significant performance boost in Guild Wars 2), but ultimately you’re bottlenecking the rest of your system if you upgrade only the GPU. If you want to add a new card to your system, you’ll want to also make sure that you add more RAM to your system (as it is below min spec) and most especially a CPU upgrade will be in order to see any performance increase since Guild Wars 2 is a very CPU heavy game.
That being said, it is also likely that you’ll need a new motherboard in addition to a new PSU to accommodate all the new hardware and so you’re essentially looking at rebuilding your whole system.
