Bad game
GTX 680 and i5 2500 4.4 and I lag. Anet is really bad..
Hehe welcome to GW2 the worlds most CPU bound game to date! Maybe this is a conspiracy with Intel to force u to buy new CPU’s?

i5 2500 4.4 is like i7 3770 3,9 in gaming, FACT. so my cpu is rly high end.

Nah this guy i was arguing with a while back, would disagree. He was running a 700$ i7, over-clocked to 5.4GHz and guess what he claimed to have no FPS issues at all, i wonder why…..
I bet if he had a 2000$ xenon cpu running at 5 Ghz, he would also “recommend” this setup for GW2.
GW2+forum is basically heaven for any hardware “pimp”, there 4000$+ gaming rigs finally pay off. So they run around noting to everyone running a i7 under 5 GHz: “u cant run GW2 with a atari/C64”

AMD 6950 and i5 2500K @4 and I don’t lag. You are really troll..
Ehm no, Im not a troll. i run BF3 on 600 fps maxed out so no, its not my computer. then its the optimization for nvidia or that high end cards doesnt perform well. im not a troll and anet must fix this.
600fps? really?
That’s quite amazing considering you are saying you arent a troll.

They only managed 124, you must have some magic special leaked card posing as a 680 :P
I also run a GTX 680 and my I5-2500K is @ 4.1Ghz. For the most part I get capped at V-Sync (60fps). Changing zones or joining any kind of huge zerg will drop me to 30fps (V-Sync) and to be honest I expect a drop. This game needs optimising and the drivers probably need improvement but is is by no means unplayable
I run every game as I should, only GW2 gives me trouble. I get as low as 16 in big zergs.. this game sucks.
The OP didn’t even give a proper description of his problem. Lag could mean anything from hardware lag (low fps / stuttering) to connection lag (high ping, rubberbanding, etc) and he didn’t mention when and where it occurs.
Assuming it’s hardware lag he is talking about, then I don’t know what the issue is, unless he’s specifically talking about the known performance issues in giant WvWvW and DE battles, or specific areas within the cities, where the game engine seems to choke on itself regardless of graphics settings, specs or overclocks…
Outside of those situations the game should be running really well on his specs, unless he’s running some really high resolution with Supersampling turned on, or he has Reflections set to max (which some people have found may cause stuttering for no apparent reason) or there’s something else going on like his GPU downclocking to 2d levels when it shouldn’t be.
As an example I run this game @ 1680×1050 with the specs in my sig – my settings are on full, except for FXAA / Depth Blur off (because I don’t like their effect) and Reflections set to Terrain & Sky (becuase of the aforementioned stutter issue when using “All”). With Supersampling on, I get between 70-120 fps most of the time. There are only a few areas in the game, usually with a lot of fog and/or heavy shadow and lighting effects, where the GPU has to work so hard that it only manages around 50-60fps. Without Supersampling the fps is between 100-200fps depending on whatever the CPU can keep up with. Even though I’m running at sub-1080p I think these FPS values are perfectly acceptable – Supersampling was never meant to be used lightly (there is a reason they recommend it only with beastly GPU’s) and without it seems like a GTX680 should have no problem pushing high-digit FPS even at 1920×1080 or 1900×1200.
The bottomline is that the game by itself is not broken when it comes to performance. Yes, there ARE areas where improvement is needed, like in big battles and cities – I fully support the drive to try and get those issues sorted out – but the rest of the game is more than capable of taking advantage of high end hardware and running at high and steady fps. The situations where the poor performance is across the board on high end rigs are out of the ordinary cases that usually turn out to be the result of specific other factors, such as drivers, downclocking or heat / power. Especially the downclocking seems to be a sporadic issue with a variety of both AMD and Nvidia GPU’s – it seems in some cases the GPU’s don’t properly clock up to 3d levels while running GW2 and people found that something as silly as running youtube in the background kicked their GPU into gear.

We got nearly the same specs? Same overclock.. Same GPU.. And seemingly same FPS. I mean, I get like in the sylvari area 45-80 FPS, in random areas like Bloodtide Coast 70-110 FPS, some areas 100+ but some areas I drop to 35 as lowest I think, and in wvw like 25-35. So we’re quite similiar. could you send me a pm with your skype? i would love to compare our performance in other games! thanks again
BF3 at 600 FPS.

The OP has been whinging for ages. In every thread, he posts no useful information, even when told specifically what to provide.
He is unwilling to check anything on his own system for the cause of the problem, and has provided no useful information to the developers.
He’s a troll, basically.

I’m not a troll.. I give you information about my performance in other games which makes it impossible that this is at my end, because one single game performs bad for me. i run bf3 maxed out at 60-100 fps and i said 600 just to give you the point. and no i am not willing to check my own system since i already have compared benchmarks, done several tests, uininstalled windows 7 and installed it again, done everything and that comes to one explanation, the game itself. your logic sucks man.

Enough said, really. Either cooperate or stop complaining.

I just did cooperate. I told you what I’ve done to check if its at my end… You need to read.
