Guild Wars 2

Hello guys,
I have intel i5-750 2.6ghz CPU,GTX 650TI boost 2xwindforce OCed GPU,4GB RAM and generic power supply of 600W on a 1680×1050 screen.

Before I got the GPU above,I had 260GTX,which got dmged/burned somehow(First signs because of the game.

Now,my first question is-Should I monitor my GPU now? and not to use his full potencial?
Secondly,Is this PC spec can handle Ultra settings in everything except wvw?and how much it should be on wvw for fluent zerg/blob fights?

Thanks for reading this post!

Because GW2 is… oddly coded to appeal the masses. It’s basicly CPU-power that counts the most. And an old i5 isn’t excatly high-end.

But i wouldnt matter, even if you had the latest i7 it would still lag like crazy in WvW because how GW2 is built.

One can only hope for atleast DX11-support in the future.

Guild Wars 2 is not ‘oddly coded." It’s an MMORPG. This is a normal thing. It happens in Defiance, WoW, other high population MMOs.

In WvW, the massive number of people would be a hard task for any computer. But the game would run much smoother if it was better att utilizing the performance.
And I think DX11-support would make for a good start.

This is not something new or weird I’m making up, this has been a talking-point for some time. It’s become better since beta/release, but I’m certain there are still performance-tweaks to be made. In fact, if I remember correctly, there should be a post around here somewhere where one of the dev’s is talking about some kind of performance-boost coming.
That was a while ago tough, maybe already been shipped out? Anyhow, the point is, yes WvW is hard, but it could be better because of how they’ve set things up.

exactly , all mmo need a lot of cpu power .i have monitor the gw2 threads ( with process lasso and porcess explorer ) and i saw that sounds consume a lot of cpu power , because sound opens a lot of sub-threads.

@OP , lower your settings in www ( but keep textures in middle and resolution in native ) and all be fine . if you want to know what you can lower to have best visual results check my signature link where i have post how a 7 year old pc and with AMD cpu can play in www without lag !
