Guild Wars 2

I have the game set up to the absolutely lowest settings, and when I am in the jungle by myself I am getting 8 – 10 FPS. The game is so choppy, also my cursor is disappearing a lot when I can’t see it flashing from the lag so I play windowed mode.

Processor: Pentium® Dual-Core CPU T4400 @ 2.20GHz 2.20GHz
Ram: 3.00GB
System Type: 64-bit operating system [Windows 7]

I am very frustrated with this situation I just bought the game I am loving it, but I can barely play because it is so choppy. I have went on the website of my computer and downloaded the latest drivers I believe, what does every one have in mind? I went ahead and deleted about everything on my computer all the extra things, World Of Warcraft, League of Legends, a ton of space saved, but I haven’t seen any difference in my FPS.

Please I will take any ideas, and I appreciate any help, thank you ahead of time for any posts

Well you did not list your video card but this is mim specs so you get mim performance.

Sorry, but that was an extremely unhelpful reply, it was actually pretty rude. I’d appreciate a reply from someone who actually wants to help.

Mobile Intel® 4 Series Express Chipset Family is my Graphics Card

Yea that’s what I heard it’s built in to something. I was looking to buy a new one

Zerg was just asking a question, nothing rude with that at all. Without all the info of your system its hard to figure out what your problem is.

The problem is your CPU is the bare min AND your running onboard video.

IF your motherboard(assuming its a desktop and not a laptop, you didn’t say) and power supply can support it a cheap graphics card would help a little. With the age and speed of the CPU you wont see great gains with any upgrade. I would not recommend spending a lot of money on it though as that CPU is far past EOL from a gaming perspective.

Minimum specs just mean the game will run, not run well just run. To get true playable frame rates you need to look into a complete new system.

I was getting random FPS issues until I set the graphics option ingame to best performance, and told it to limit it to 30fps to help with cooling.

Its not the CPU. I have basically the same CPU and before they took out the optimizations, that were causing others issues, I was able to play with almost all settings turned to high. Now I play with most turned to low except character texture details, which I have turned to high, and AA . Of course I have a much better graphics card (GTS 250).
