Guild Wars 2

Hello, I am buying myself anew monitor, I am currently looking at monitors with resolution 2560×1440. I want to know if GW2 supports this resolution and if my graphic cards are good enough to run the game at decent settings or if someone can share their experience in that matter. Thanks.

My PC:
CPU:Core i5-3570K@4,4 GHz
RAM: 8 GB
HDD: 2xSSD in RAID 0
GPU: 2x EVGA GTX 660 TI FTW Signature 2

Supports it just fine. The issue that you will have @ 1440p will not be GW2, but other games. Your video cards run with 2GB VRAM, attempting to max out other modern games you will hit a vram wall. 3Gb+ is a good minimum for 1440.

This exactly.

Vram doesn’t stack when you’re running SLI/CF, each card keeps its own pool, so you’ll be hitting the limit there before anything else. GW2 should be fine, though.

GW2 wont be a problem. I run higher than that (3200×1800 downsampling) with a single 780 and it still doesnt max out..its usualy around 70% usuage, 2x 660ti’s is more or less a 780 in terms of performance.

Most other games will also be fine, but more modern games and those with super high end graphics will be pushing the 2gb of VRAM.

Ok. Good to know those facts, new GPU is the next upgrade. I currently do not play many other games, besides GW2 I only play AC IV. I guess I’ll go for 780 Ti soon.

Can I get any screenshots in natural format of 2560×1440 or any higher resolution, just too se how the game looks. Thanks.

Ofc.

These were made during the latest halloween event.

Please do note the FPS is NOT capped by GPU. The only time the GPU gets close to max is when looking from the bank towards to MF, at that point it can hit 90-95% when busy, but still manages 57-60fps. The screenshots were originaly taken from said positions to show worst case CPU/Game bottlenecks in LA with the shown settings.

The settings are the highest u wil lwant to use. Reflection on All is bugged/high unoptimised, FXAA isnt needed at that resolution + Supersampling. And the culign setting on medium wont affect visual fidelity untill u hit large WvW zergs, at which point its there to keep FPS from droping below 20.
