Guild Wars 2

I just upgraded my PC and I still get bad frame rates when i got tons of people around me, (ie: wvw, meta events, etc)

I got a GTX 760 TI SC video card
Fx6300 6 core processor
4gb ram
Samsung SSD

my internet has always been 40mbps.
have all the latest drivers and windows up to date.
I also did a clean install of windows so don’t have any gunky programs, just gw2 installed.

So I’m hoping I’ll upgrade to 8gb will run smoothly. It’s really irritating during events and stuff when I’m getting 15 FPS and people around me like “hm? I’m playing on a 400$ laptop with no lag here….”

IDK what the problem is, cus I can play BF4 on Ultra with 40+ FPS… so how is gw2 harder to run than bf4??

it’s your CPU. This game requires single core performance and yours has 6 individually relatively weak cores. Even my overclocked 4670k drops down to 15 fps at times. The only thing you can do is turn some of your settings down, that would be shadows, reflections and culling.

8GB might help a bit but the game’s frame rate drops the more players you have around you. Fine with party sizes but major zergs or anyplace where a player crowd forms. Other players seems to tax the CPU to it’s limits, well the major game threads. If the CPU can’t feed the video card due to all the player tracking, frame rate drops. Sharply once the the crowd in view gets above a dozen.
