Since it’s a new build I really would have tried to stretch for a sandy/ivy i5 because the difference for ~£60-100 is drastic:

As kirito notes above, you are cpu bound in those scenarios.

But for my GF visiting Turkey with no medical insurance ; it would have been an i7.
I had to replace crashed Phenomx4 980 system with only a marginal upgrade.
Of course there was wintersday patch during my downtime; so can’t make an accurate comparison between the old and new rigs.
@Kiroto .TY for the links Catalyst settings seemto be worth +5 more FPS in zerg and a steady 60 elsewhere. But for culling, thats at least a bit more playable.

Indeed kirito has made a nice thread there.
ill just add and say that AMD is not the CPU for Gw2, You need a Intel 2nd generation i5 K or better, and it needs to be OC’d to around 4.5ghz. Do that and you wont drop below 30fps. However 30fps will still be frequently seen in WvW.
GW2 is VERY hard on single thread performance. Hence why AMD cpu’s dont cope well.

To be fair, the state of the engine is atrocious so you aren’t missing all that much. Hitting 30fps under the best system possible is not really acceptable but i’m not expecting any improvement soon.
In-fact at the rate they have been fixing the vast amount of bugs (or not fixing I should say rather introducing more bugged content) I doubt anything will be significantly improved before an expansion!
