Guild Wars 2

I have windows 7
E8400 intel cpu
ATI 6870
4GB ram
with 2kittenabit internet

But my fps is always 15-35.
its usually around 25ish but drops lower when there are more people. Changing the graphic setting has no effect. Even when set everything to the lowest, I still only get 15-35fps.

I do notice that when I change my camera to certain scenery I get 45-60 fps. For example, the gate behind the starting position in Queensdale. Also when I check the task manager, the CPU is usually at around 70-85% so I dont think E8400 bottlenecks it. The system requirement test on game-debate.com also shows that my system should be more than capable and should have little trouble running guild wars 2 at medium to high setting. Upgrading graphical driver did not help too. When I enable reflection the fps will drop even more. I currently have FXAA on, shadow, and shader at lowest. Reflection is off. Environmetn and LOD on low. And everything else is on the medium.

And did I mention changing graphic setting has no effect?

please help
thanks.

Does your framerate get worse as you get closer to the Bandithaunt cave and better as you move further away? If so, you may be seeing the effects of the “continually spawning bombs” bug.

Of course that issue is specific to one area of Queensdale, though I’ve heard people saying there are other areas with similar issues, just not as bad.

Either it’s an in-game bug for a certain location or your CPU is the problem. I have an HD 6870 and an i5-3450 and get ~50-60 on highest settings.

Are you sure you’re not running out of RAM ?

i am sure you have the videocard in wrong slot or in a slot with only 4 lanes – i had the same problem, before i put the video card in a pci-e 16 Slot with 16 lanes

you can use CPU-Z to check your setting – under the registercard motherboard is something with PCIe at the lower region of the registercard, there has to be a “16” on the right and a “16” on the left – if that isnt the case, you have your card in wrong slot – check your motherboards manuell then and your problem is solved.
