Q:
Hardware check
A:
Different games will perform differently on the same hardware. Games are similar to different hardware in the fact that they all have different architecture which affects performance & visuals in different ways. Remember that BF is an online FPS and GW2 is an MMORPG. There’s a huge amount of engine differences there and it’s a longer process optimising an MMO. GW2 is quite a bit newer than Battlefield as well so when optimsations are introduced down the line, you will see a performance increase.
If that’s 40fps on the high settings then no, that sounds about right. The minimum requirements are there as a guideline to show what hardware you need at a minimum to actually run the game, not play the game at 60fps on high settings.
If you want better performance, you could upgrade your graphics card or just lower the settings.
so What i need to change to play with a nice fps , ,change my videocard?
it says 256 mb shader 3.0 in minimum requeriments , i have 1gb 5.0shader :/
Upgrade the video card, yeah. As I said previously, don’t go by minimum requirements; they just say what you need for the game to run. A decent upgrade from your current card would be something along the line of a NVidia GTX 560Ti/AMD 6970 or even better jump up to a 660, depending on your budget of course

no many differences
That’s the raw technical stuff which doesn’t show real word values from other factors like board/chip architecture and clock speeds. Also, you’ll notice the Texel rate for the 560 is significantly higher. Check out http://www.cpubenchmark.net/ for actual scores for hardware (click the Video Card tab)
The only thing that i still do not understand, is why GW2 requires both even without much graphic, for example I play battlefield 3 in high quality with 50-60 fps,
but thanks for all your answers!

Two very different engines optimized to do two very different things for two very different games.
Notice the limit they imposed on the 360 version of BF3, 32 man maps last time I recall (which was a year ago) instead of the 64 man games available to the PC. The 360’s CPU just simply couldn’t handle the loads required by that many people in a game.
You can’t really impose a limit in Guild Wars 2 because its an open world, the best ArenaNet could do was cull people away which is why you can only see so many people in PvE during large dynamic events.
