Guild Wars 2

Hello everyone !

Let’s start with my pc :
8Gigs 1333 ram
i5-3570
gtx- 970 MSI OC
WIN 7

When i was at town i had around 40 fps on highest appearance settings yesterday when i had GTX 660. Now i have 50 fps … really ? such small performance boost in gw2 ? from normal settings i boosted to ultra in BF4 same with other games running smooth assassin’s creed unity and far cry 4 on highest settings and my pc can’t handle gw2 ? 50 fps in town is not that bad ? it was empty town and with this i can’t imagine what im going to see at WvW. I bought this card especially for GW2 and almost nothing changed when other games boosted to the heavens.

What’s the problem ?

I hate to break it to you, but this game eats CPU, not GPU. A fancy video card won’t do much about “low” FPS (low? Really? Try playing the game at 20-30 on good days…). With your i5, you should get a little more, but that might be for different reasons.

well first off dont us the high appearance preset, there are few things it turns on that have 0 benefit to the game but take a 20-30% hit off your performance from the top.

FXAA – None
Better off running AA in your GPU’s control panel then using this. It hits the CPU a tiny bit and blurs the edges rather the sharpens them.

Reflections – Sky&Terrain Only
Having this set to All enables reflections for stuff UNDER the ground that you cannot see.

Shadows – High or Medium
I see little to no benefit to running shadows above medium in this game. High if you like the higher range but this is more of an opinion of mine.

Post Processing – Low
On my system None and High look exactly the same for the settings here. Low makes everything ‘pop’ like it should. You could turn this off as this is mainly CPU driven

Character Limit – Medium
This is CPU and Memory intensive. This lets you see more characters yes, but at a great cost of performance

Character Quality – High

I disable high res textures as I use my GPUs control panel to sharpen the image. You do lose a bit of detail by not using this option but the performance hit is pretty huge.

Most annoying thing….

While i was playing WOW or FFXIV:ARR and on screen there was around 80-110 players on my ultra settings i had 60-40 fps. Now i get lower fps standing in an empty city in gam with let’s be honest grpahics worse than these two games.

Thanks for help tho
If someone want to suggest something more please do it i liked the game…
