Guild Wars 2

Hi, I have a i5 2500k, 4Gb ram and Ati Radeon 6950 so largely above the minimun system reqiurement but to have a decent fps (40-60) i need to setting everything on low; any ideas to solve the problem? from task manager i see that there is one core of cpu that work near 100% and the other on 40-50%, is this normal?

With those specs, you system should do 40-60fps on high settings easily for PVE content.

Try things in Part 4.1 of this thread and try troubleshooting.

If i put high settings i do a 20 fps average and that’s pretty ridiculous; i follow all the tips of thread, graphic card driver is up to date and whit correct setting and cpu seems to work correctly but still have huge fps problem; anyone have similar hardware and same problem?

Almost same PC 2500k@ 4.4, 16GB 2133 memory, 6970@ 950/1425 I have no problems at all with the game. Run the game at recomended settings then turn reflections off and shadows/shaders to low. If you still have bad FPS download GPU-Z and make sure your video card is running at X16 speed. This will be Bus interface if it does not say x16 click the ? and do the short test it should move to x16.

Keep rendering at native,
Relfections to off or terrain and sky,
shadows on anything other than Ultra.

U should try check if ur videocard is installed in the right slot PCIe 2.0 x16, as dumb as it soulds many ppl instal the graphics card on the wrong slots, if is actually installed on the right one check if the bus speed is the apropiate using GPUz utility. And don’t think “all my games runs fine only GW2 have issues that can’t be it”, cuz is wrong GW2 consumes bandwith like no other game, so most games would run perfectly at x2 or x4 bus speed but not GW2.

Zerk and Rampage i have to ask you another things; i check the bus speed and see that run on x2 so i change slot and now run at x4; i changed slot in the past cause with the “x4 slot” i had often blue sceen; is it normal that no one slot run at x16? my mobo is asus p8p67 le; thank you for the support

That MB should have a PCIE x16
1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (blue)

If ur looking at ur MB. CPu at the top ..ram on the right ..the top most PCIE slot is the one u want it in. (the long one not the short slot, obviosly )

now i put in the blu one but GPUz tell me that graphic card can run at x16 but currently run at x4; is the MB bugged?

Click the little ? next to the x4 on GPUz it should do a little test a make it run up to its max x16.

if it doesnt then check ur bios setting to make sure its allowig it to run at x16.

Guess you didn’t follow all the tips since one of them was to check the PCI-E bus.

Do you have any other cards in other slots? Because some boards share the bus so it wont run at full x16 if its being shared.

no i have only one card

your Asus P8p67 LE board has
1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (blue) *1
1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (x4 mode, black) *1
2 x PCIe 2.0 x1 *1
3 x PCI

are you using the blue slot?

yes now i’m using the blue slot but as i said in the past it gives me blue screen so for a long time i use the black one; but both shoul run at x16 as you whrite but in my case the black one run x2 and the blu at x4; now i try to check the bios but i’m totaly noob on this sort of thing

it is possible it maybe a bandwidth issue, I can’t use high settings due to my internet.

Try cleaning the PCI slot and the videocard gold connector using air, a compresed air can, a hair dryer or a vacumcleaner on blowout mode (if u do this, remove the dust deposit bag)
