Need help to improove my fps in WvWvW
Both the CPU and GPU are lower end, however going into WvW tends to hit the CPU harder with the player count. I am guessing this is a prebuilt system? We will need to know the full system spec and make/model, many off the shelf system are limited on any kind of upgrades to the CPU that can be done and will also involve a full OS reisntall. The CPU you have is a 1155 socket, which means it will fit allot of newer CPUs, however that does not mean the mobo will work with all of them or that it is not BIOS locked.
could you tell me what else do you need me to tell you and how can i see what else i got sorry for the stupid question but i have lack of knowledge in this particular area
The G630 is a dual core CPU, the game does get a nice kick with more real cores (none of this HT BS).
The HD 6750 isn’t the quickest GPU in the shed but as long as you aren’t over taxing it (turn everything to max at 1080p for instance) it’s reasonable.
WvW brings the best rigs to their knees during large zerg battles. Lots of animation, lots of particle effects. You can see this as well at boss chest events in PvE. As of now the client software doesn’t scale well in large crowds like that outside of just standing around and chatting.
And TinkTinkPOOF is right, without a better overview of what you have any recommendations are pure guesswork.

That’s fine. But you aren’t going to be able to fix anything with a $100 USD budget. And any real improvement in WvW will seem minor. And if you aren’t comfortable doing things like changing the CPU, there’s really not much we can recommend hardware wise. Sorry.
Join smaller zergs and go for supply camps, caravans and sentries. Hang back and use siege or range weapons in larger battles.
RIP City of Heroes

I have 3770k@3.5 GHz and a 660 ti. I have never been below 25 FPS in WvW zergs or 100+ people in Dragon events. The video card is over kill for GW2 but the i7 will make a huge difference for you due to the 4 core/8threads and the extra 700 MHz per core. I recommend an i7 Ivy Bridge because it also runs on the 1155 socket, so you can use the same motherboard. The only negative is it will cost about $350-$400 because you will need a good CPU fan to keep it cool.

You have a socket 1155 processor which can be upgraded to some other popular models in the same socket family. The i5 3570 (or the i5 3570K if you want to overclock) or the i7 3770 (or the i7 3770K if you want to overclock) are good choices. Judging from your current processor, I doubt you do any hardcore video and audio encoding, so the i5 3570 (K) will work well for you. This chip usually runs around 215 dollars from most retailers. If you live near a Microcenter (US Only) then I recommend going there to get one which will save you 25 dollars.
The only thing we’ll need to make sure of is that your computer can handle the extra power needed by the new processor. I imagine it would be ok, but just to be sure, what power supply do you have and what motherboard do you have?

But in addition if you do get a i5/7 k cpu make sure you also get an aftermarket cooler to OC that bad boy
Also maybe consider upgrading to 8GB of ram. It is cheap and GW2 uses 3GB+ at times.
