Guild Wars 2

Sup guys.

For those who don’t know my situation, I been upset lately because I have what you could consider a high end computer but getting TERRIBLE fps in this game which is just unacceptable to me.

So after having tried all I could possibly try, I did do ONE thing that did make a substantial improvement. Keep in mind it didn’t completely fix my problem and i’m not blazing 60 fps, but I did notice a 50% to 100% (that would be double) in FPS increases in areas that I would consider “heavy on the cpu”.

For example, in the slyvari city, near the top floor was a heavy zone for me. I got a staggering 11 fps from the lighting effects. As a result, I just couldn’t play this game.

So as a last ditch effort, I completely wiped out my computers hard drive, reformatted the entire thing, reinstalled Windows and ONLY installed Guild Wars 2.

The results is now I get 17 to 22 FPS in the same area and thats a “heavy” zone.

Granted, i’m sure some of you guys tried this, and completely wiping out all your data shouldn’t be a requirement to get decent FPS, but it worked for me. I"m just hoping it might help for someone else out there. So, in conclusion:

1. Turn off V-Sync.
2. Reformat your computer.

Its a temporary fix but it got the job done. If you guys do the same, let me know how it goes. I"ll also post back here later once I play a bit more for more updates on how my FPS situation is going.

Comp Specs:

I5-2500k unlock Quad Core 3.3ghz processor
Nvidia GTX680
4GM Kingston Ram DDR3-1600
Current Driver: 106.32

Try this for moar fps if your 680 is downclocking. Works awesome in heavy cpu areas where the stupid P-states kick in.
