Guild Wars 2

For those with FPS issues I found a solid 5 FPS boost from changing my in-game sound quality to the lowest setting, “I think it’s called fast”. Hope this helps somebody and I’m sorry if this has been posted before.

I got a hell of a frame boost in Mass Effect 2 by changing from onboard sound (and disabling onboard sound in the bios) to having a soundcard, this game uses the same engine sooo…..

I also got a frame boost in UT3 when I selected my preferences emphasising quality (Nvidia control panel) with that which I found bizarre, why would a game run better when anti-aliasing was forced upon it by an Nvidia 9800 (and did indeed include AA) in an engine kinda famously reluctant with AA? I think the Unreal Engine is good but varied on results.

Hmm maybe for those who use integraded sound card. At the moment I am using ESI JULI@ PCI sound card. For me I don’t see any difference between lowest and best sound quality.

I haven’t tried this. I will test it tomorrow.

I haven’t noticed any improvement in framerates, maybe +-~1fps.

But people with old sound cards definitely should try this, but at the same time update your audio drivers (which a lot of people forget).

ME runs the unreal engine, gw2 runs on A-nets own engine. No clue where you got that from.
