Guild Wars 2

Hi everyone,

My computer seems to much much worse than it should. My FPS is always pretty bad, even on reasonable settings. The

My computer is:

CPU: AMD Penom II x2 840 processor
GPU: EVGA GTX 460 EE (factory overclocked)
Ram: 4Gb
HD: 7200 HDs (Raid 0)

Did the FPS recently start to drop or was it always not… good?

Consistantly bad.

Hmm… Well, I know that the AMD CPUs don’t have that good of single threaded performance compared to intels… though have you ever attempted overclocking on it if you are able to?

This game’s performance level is below terrible on some machines. I can play Battlefield 3 on high settings on 32vs32 maps, but I can’t play GW2 on lowest in WvW. Sadly, programers failed their jobs at optimisation, but the game is worth its price anyway.

PS: I have intel quad cpu and ati gpu.

That CPU probably isn’t going to run the game well at any settings.

I used to play on a heavily overclocked Core 2 Duo that was already faster than most Phenom II X2s (same number of cores and better score in PassMark’s single threaded performance), and the game wasn’t exactly smooth a lot of the time — and barely interactive in some situations.

Also, the game generally has issues loading sound effects and other stuff in time when CPU limited on a dual core, no matter how fast it is.

The game is very poorly optimized, my computer specs are way above required and in game I get 10 fps. The frustrating part is I actually want to play this game, I check these forums every once in a while hoping a fix has been released.

The game is very poorly optimized.

This, all of this, is correct. This is basically what GW2’s main issue is.
