Guild Wars 2

I’m running GW2 on the following build:
Foxconn 2AB1 (1.00)
AMD Athlon II X4 645 @3.1GHz
XFX Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition
12GB DDR3 1333MHz

The problem is I’m still unable to get my FPS above 30 on medium-high settings. My friend runs the game on an HD 5770 and gets 60FPS on max settings. Why is my newer card slower? They have the same GPU and neither card is overclocked.

AMD Athlon II X4 645 @3.1GHz is your problem. See AMD & GW2 thread.

Also, your friend is not pulling 60fps on “MAX” settings. Not possible sorry.

Max settings except for supersampling I think. Supersampling murders FPS on both of our cards.

I’m looking for a better CPU like Phenom II X6 1065T but my motherboard only supports 95W TDP, and the 95W versions of these CPU’s are near impossible to find.

If you read the AMD Cpu’s & GW2 thread you would not be wanting another Amd processor.

I suggest you read it before you purchase.

I can’t exactly afford a sandy bridge CPU and a new motherboard right now… Oh well, I’ve been used to playing on 30-40FPS for years…
