Guild Wars 2

So, my specs are these:
GPU: MSI Geforce GTX 780 Ti Gaming
CPU Intel Core i7-4820K @ 3,7 GHz
RAM: 16 GB
Resolution: 1920×1080

I have these awesome specs yet they only pump out 30 fps in Lion’s Arc and around 60-70 when solo at maximum settings. My friend gets around 120 fps solo when he has everything but supersampling turned on and around 100 when he turns it on. I have a generally lower FPS than him but when i turn on supersampling i get no difference in fps, not one bit.

Is there something that could be limiting my FPS (I know it’s not the settings in-game, I’ve played around with them)? I get normal performance in other games like The Witcher 2, where I max it, no problem.

post a screenshot of your ingame settings.

Hard to say at this point, but if changing the load your GPU has to work with doesn’t affect the fps, your issue is probably in the CPU. That’s what’s limiting the performance in this game anyways, it requires a miracle from your processor.

So true. And I don’t think anyone should be running this game with ultra settings at this point.

FXAA should be disabled
Reflections need to be sky/terrain only.
Char limit should be Low or Medium (This is VERY VERY VERY CPU driven, the higher this setting the more work your cpu MUST perform)
Char quality should be Medium or High (semi CPU limiting)
High Res textures should be disabled

Which is why I wanted to see his ingame settings. he could also be running vSync with the Fram Limiter (Both those options enabled, weird things happen)

I use sweet FX for AA
Run everything on high/ultra with the exception of reflections(off)
I run highest/high for character limit and quality with supersampling.
Make sure that your Nvidia Control Panel settings are ok. And turn off the framerate limiter ingame.

Why don’t you OC a bit? No sense running your chip at just 3.9 :P
