Guild Wars 2

Hello,
I run GW2 on computer with:
i5 3350p
4gb ram
nvidia gtx660

To be honest, I bought this PC about 2 moths ag, and I thought that it would run every game. Rift and even Metro: Last Light run smoothly without fps drops.
In Gw2 i got high settings, not ultra and still got sometimes frame drops. WvW is not playable on high settings, i have to change it to medium.

What should i improve in my PC to get more ans stable fps?

Thanks in advance

Another 4 gigs of ram will help a little bit. However, nothing short of a NASA tier computer will run WvW stable at 60 frames. You could try going i7 and SLI 660s, but that’s not worth the money just to play WvW on max settings.

GW2 is a pretty annoying game to try and get stable frames on since it needs such powerful hardware when it really shouldn’t need it.

Your CPU is what needs help, but the cost to upgrade to an i5 3570K or an i7 3770K isn’t worth the money just to be able to get 25-30 FPS @ 1080p in WvW battles. WvW and other crowded areas of Guild Wars 2 are very CPU heavy and rely on a powerful CPU to keep up with all the characters on the screen. Your GTX 660 is fine, it should be able to set most, if not all settings to their highest values besides Supersampling and maybe All reflections.

What you can do for free is try overclocking your current processor and get a few extra hundred Mhz out of it which might get you a frame or two more in large WvW battles.
