Guild Wars 2

Ok so I’ve been getting a bit of lag in guild wars 2… I’m not sure why or were this is coming from.

My specs:

p8z77 v-lx
gtx560ti – o/c > 1ghz
3570k – o/c > 4.5ghz
8gb 1333mhz ram
625w psu
128gb ssd

Internet speed, speedtest.net > 14mbps.

Nvidia control panel – let nvidia decide > maximum power performance, single display performance.
High power management plan.

gw2 settings

All high, native, med shadows.

I sit on around 45 fps center lions arc on these settings, 40 fps in events, I have vert sync on due to screen tearing in open lands.

I am getting a small lag spike every 10-20 seconds, this is extreamly frustrating, I was getting this before o/c, and I am still getting it.

update driver – might be the right solution.
Other than that your 40fps are A OK, you can also try to play a bit with the custom settings, each setting at a time, turn to low/off to see what causing those lag spikes…

Mine:

i5 @4.5ghz
GTX560ti @985mhz (havent tried 1ghz yet)
16GB ddr
SSD

Same ingame settings

I get 50/60fps in lions arch with dips here and there between 40/45 fps. in Pve it is anything between 60 and 100/110 without Vsync with dips to 50.

I am using the 306.02 beta’s as i noticed that the new WHQL drivers gave a slight FPS hit.

drivers are up to date, I have turned the graphics to minimum but I’m still getting these fps drops/lag spikes… very kitten anoying.

I was going to buy an extra 8gb of ram this weekend, considering its only $50. Any chance this could help?
