Guild Wars 2

So I am currently running…

- AMD Radeon HD 7870 2GB
- AMD FX-8150 8 Core CPU at 4.2 ghz

I am getting a steady 60 FPS on High settings (not max) in most typical zones and about 30-40 FPS in major cities and player hubs. I just built this rig a few days ago and i’m still in the process of updating windows fully ( graphics drivers fully updated ) which may or may not affect my performance in-game.

According to the chart posted here:

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/bill-freist-talks-optimization-and-performance/

I am around the fps i should be though I’m not sure if the chart is for high settings or what. However, my friend who is using a 560 TI which is listed as having lower fps then my card is claiming to have 80 FPS in major cities on High settings. So unless my friend is lying to me something just isn’t adding up here. So thanks for reading any input would be much appreciated.

Also overlocking seems to have little to no effect

Chances are he’s exaggerating a little or looking straight at the floor or a wall

If your system is running around the frame rate it should roughly be then you don’t really have an issue.

According to the chart it is running around the frame rate it should be but again the chart does not specify what settings the chart was gathered using, It just says “average” frame rate. I do do not feel that I am running at the frame rate i should be given the quality of my rig. Also its now confirmed dropping the settings to Medium does almost nothing as well.

Try this link:

It gives a more balanced incite in to frame rates based on resolutions and detail settings, if you still feel you’re suffering low frame rates then maybe add a post to the low FPS thread here:

The chart on Toms at 1920×1080 is accurate for standard zones at least it appears to be i haven’t gone to that many zones. The fps in major cities however is far off. In Lions Arch at 4am not even peak hours I am getting 30 fps standing still and moving .. well .. lower then that.

Take that back the chart only seems to be accurate in a few zones … specifically ones with snow where there arent many textures intense textures

I use a 560ti gpu and it is my bottleneck (check sig)
In Lions Arch it maxes out and i get on average 45fps on MAX settings at 1920×1080 (native sampling).

i can say that unless your friend is looking at the sky or has lower settings, he wont be getting 80 fps.
