Guild Wars 2

My system is as follows
Amd A8 5600k 3.4 ghz
gtx 550 ti
8 gb ram
1440 by 4900
i bought this thinking eventually when i get my 1080p monitor i get could play med to high but at this res im averaging 30 to 40 on med to high . if this is right what part of the system, would need upgrading to meet my demands?

Judging by the FPS questions posted so far, 30-40 may seem a pretty good average. If you look around these boards, you’ll see people dipping below 10 in busy and graphically heavy areas. One thing you may like to try is a CPU overclock.

Weird resolution…but anyways your graphics card would likely need to be updated.

Do me a favor and check your GPU usage, also make sure your computer is using the 550Ti and not the GPU in the APU. If your GPU usage is 100%, then you need a better graphics card, if its well below 100, say at 90% and you aren’t capping your frame rate at 1440 by 900 and your CPU is the bottleneck.

Your APU should be fine unless we’re walking about crowded areas. The more people there are around you, the more the CPU has to work (which is already abnormally high compared to most other game engines). Eventually, there are so many people around you that the CPU can’t feed the data to the GPU fast enough and the GPU can’t create as many frames per second because it just doesn’t have the data to do so. This is when you see your frame rate suffer while your GPU isn’t working at full potential.
