Guild Wars 2

How can I improve performance. (don’t give me that “its ur rig” nonsense)

My rig:
Phenom II x6 1090T overclocked to 3.5 ghz
ATI Radeon hd 6870 1gb 915mhz
8 gig 1600 mhz ram
asrock xtreme 3 or 4 mobo

Getting around 20-30 fps everywhere…
My friends rig: (he has solid 60 fps everywhere except WvW
Phenom II x6 1090T stock speed
ATI Radeon hd 5770 1gb hawk
8 gig ram 1333mhz
mobo: unknown

This should give you some insight.

On what? I’ve read that forum post already, didn’t get me anywhere.

AMD CPUS even the latest models seems to struggle with GW2. If you push the CPU to 4.5GHz, you may see some noticeable improvements.

If you’ve read it then you already know it’s your rig.

I don’t believe your mate pulls 60fps EVERYWHERE with that rig. It’s not possible, sorry. I know this because I’ve also got a P2 Quad 965@4Ghz rig with a better gpu than that & my FPS are WELL under 60fps EVERYWHERE.

Yep, that’s exactly what I’m saying. Lets see a video of your mate pulling 60fps in Lions arch or Black Cit with an AMD cpu.

My computer runs on an average fps on 43 in Lions Arch, but its dipping up to 60 now and then on zones with little actions and persons.

Everything maxed out at 1920×1080.

Phenom II x6 1090T overclocked to 3.6 ghz
8 GB 1333 mhz ram
ATI Radeon hd 6950 2gb 1325MHz x 2 in CF though the FPS is the same with one or two cards.

So bored of the gaming struggle with AMD CPUs………

Phenom II X6 1090T @ 3.6GHz, 4GB DDR2 (used to have 8GB but one stick died), GTX560Ti (285.62 driver) and the game runs @ windowed 1920×1080 with max except post-processing and reflection turned off.

I set Windows swap to 4096/4096 (so it doesn’t scale in size which slows the system down), I disable desktop themes in compatability in .exe (not sure if it works with gw2.exe). I get 60-80 fps in pve, ~45 in Lions Arch, 35-40 fps in WvWvW.
