Q:

I’d like to get the game as pretty as possible and still crank out 40-60 fps on my old clunker – thanks for any tips.

I can never remember which things like ’Shadows" or “Anti-Aliasing” can make huge or zero difference.

My PC:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 @ 2.53GHz 43 °C
RAM 4.00GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 398MHz (6-6-6-18)
Motherboard: Dell Inc. 0RY007 (Socket 775) 40 °C
1024MB ATI AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series (ATI AIB) 42 °C
465GB Western Digital WDC WD5000AAKS-75A7B0 ATA Device (SATA) 36 °C

Thanks

A:

High Shadows and Reflection settings stresses the CPU a bit. So does displaying more players but cutting that back is a bit detrimental for WvW.

Other than that experiment yourself. It’s the only way to see what affects your particular setup.

I did not know about Reflections stressing the CPU – thanks!
