Low fps despite good system
In before lols 630 cardherpderp stuff.
As Killimandros commented, the GTX630 will not get you far. Just because it’s a 600 series card doesn’t make it better than a high end 500 or even 400 series card. My best estimate is that a GTX630 is less powerful than a GTX470 if not a GTX460. So don’t expect much from that card…
As Victus said, the GTX630 isn’t going to yield good FPS, it is not a good card at all, it is in the “budget” range, intended for light gaming and office work. If you wish to get reasonable FPS i would suggest a geforce card ending in at least 60 so the 560 or 660 would be reasonable.
The GT 630 is a ridiculous bottleneck in that system. It should be replaced with a GTX 660 or something if you want to play games with decent settings and 1080p or above resolutions.

How are comments about the poor performance of your video card useless? Your card for lack of a better term (in the context of HD gaming on newer games) is useless… Just cause you THINK something doesn’t make it a reality. And we’re not ‘hating’ on your card, we’re simply stating the clear facts about it. Your best option is to sell your 630 and purchase a 560/660 (560 is cheaper). My GTX480 is just over 2 years old and out performs your GTX630 and that’s the clear and simple truth. A GTX470 even out performs it and that’s a lower performance card than mine. Facts are facts, you didn’t do enough research before investing your money.
Well I talked to some people (and i mean specialists on computers) and what they said make more sense then what I get here unfortunately. The Kepler architecture of cards 6xxx is not optimilized for guild wars and that may also be the reason why your old card (which does not have it) performs better. Nonetheless all these are speculations for me unless I read an answer from tech support. Cheers
To the rest of you: well even if the card is not great i think it should work better than my 5 years old one and I am not going to buy yet another card only to play GW2 cause that would be just ridicculous (other new and older games work perfectly with gt 630 so I don’t understand your hate for this one really), but teistiz or Refraction if you want to get me a better card – feel free to do so I will be glad to receive such a gift. Otherwise i find your comments bit useless here ^^
nope, thats about right for your card. have a look at this chart, of course its slightly dependant on your cpu also but your card is “roughly” that of the 440, possibly slightly less if it has GDDR3 memory on it. 50fps on low is about right for your card.

Hey, at least I bothered to link some relevant information about the capabilities of that card.
It’s true that Nvidia’s Kepler architecture hasn’t been out that long and it’s very likely to see driver improvements. However, even if some miracle would double the GT 630’s performance, it’d still be slower than mid-tier cards from generations ago. Never going to be “good system” level hardware.
If that wasn’t what you wanted to know, my apologies, but I think it’s what you needed to know.

You act like we know nothing of computer hardware… And say you are seeing our posts as speculation unless you read an answer from tech support. My word are you thick headed.
1. We wouldn’t bother claiming your card is low performance unless we can back it up with facts, which we do.
2. Those ‘Tech savvy’ people in your local electronic store are simply ‘selling’ the card to you. They don’t care what you want to do with it, they’ll agree it’ll handle what you want so you buy the card.
3. You’re in Tech Support, we wouldn’t bother posting answers unless we know what we’re talking about (see point number 1)
4. Your ignorance is stunting your development as a mature human being, I highly recommend you adjust it.
