Guild Wars 2

Hello, as I writed in title I have a little problem with fps no matter the setting (difference is around 2-5 fps) I get 3-19 fps and especially low when turning camera (don’t know why…) and when there’s a lot of other players.
Thanks for answer in advance.

I hate to say it, but its your CPU that is holding you back. A dual core Celeron processor does not spell good things when playing GW2.

TBH you can try overclocking more, but I doubt you’ll get enough out of your processor to notice any game changing differences.

The only way to get a more playable experience is to build a new system. Even upgrading to a top end processor for your socket, it won’t be worth the money you’d spend on the processor for the performance gained.

do not even look at the min req’s for this game, all they mean is, you can load the game, dosnt mean it will be playable….

you need a 8350 or 3570k in excess of 4.5ghz to get simi-acceptable fps….even then its touch and go.

Jus buy a LGA 775 core2quad on Ebay overclock it to 3.5 ghz and u will be set up for GW2, untill u get 1000$ or so for a good decent upgrade. Check for compatibility with ur motherboard on the manufacturer website ofc.

It’s shame this game lacks so badly on optimized gameplay…
Some of the settings included in the game are not even working, or atleast not well…

For instance, why there is no view radius included in settings? And while there surely is LoD setting, it is still not woking so no help from that either…

Seriously, when can we expect some optimization for this game? Half month gone and still WvW being unplayable in big fights.

Thx for great PvE tho, that is were this game shines

Thanks for answer all, I guess I’ll buy new cpu and motherboard as socket 775 doesn’t sell anymore in my country…

Just one more question will I run it just fine with this Intel Core i5-3350P or should I buy better one ? Thanks for answer in advance.

You wanna try get a i5 2500k,2550k,3570k or a i7 2600k,2700k,3770k, 3820, 3930k if going Intel.

For AMD u wanna try get a FX 8350.

With any of those u can also OC , for GW2 u should aim for 4.5ghz as thats an easy to obtain OC and also happens to usualy keep GW2 WvW battles from droping below 30 fps, except on the FX 8350..u still may see sub 30 fps.

Stock settings on any of those CPU’s, or any other CPU, will give u sub 25 fps in WvW and can affect Citie fps and pve/Dungeon fps.
