Q:

I currently have one OC’ed Radeon HD 7850 2GB GPU. Having tracked the load on the GPU the past few days it’s pretty much sits at 95% – 100% when in the normal world with everything maxed except reflections. However in WvW, I struggle when the groups get to a moderate size. Enemy player quality is set at low and amount is set at high.

I’ve read a fair few threads about crossfire/SLI not improving FPS in GW2, however these threads are a round 9 months old, and the game has had many updates (as has the Drivers). So my question is simple.

Would buying another HD 7850 and cross firing them together have a dramatic impact on my FPS? Enough so I can handle an increase in group size to stop FPS drops?

Instead of getting another GPU for crossfire, if I were you, I’d upgrade my CPU if it is not good enough.

CPU sits at 55% – 60%. It’s my GPU that maxes out.
