Guild Wars 2

Could I pick your brain, GW2 community?
I have very bad performance for GW2… I don’t really very good computer and I’d like to know what do you think it’s the problem with my computer (if there’s one issue I have no probs upgrading..if there’s whole computer too bad, then it’ll be a bit harder)

CPU: Intel Core 2 DUO E7500 @ 2.93 GHz
RAM: 4GB
OS: Win7 64bit
Graphic Card: MSI R5450 1GB DDR3

I put the details on the lowest lvl possible, lowest screen resolution, installed OS fresh, with updated drivers, performance issues persist(Frame rate like 10 :/ ).

If there’s issue with Graphics, could you advise what to get instead (not the highest price range plz)

I would upgrade your graphics card.

However I have slightly higher system than yours and I can not run the game with it crashing or BSOD.

I would simply wait and see, you have to remember this game is still in its first month since launching, there are bound to be loads of updates and fixes in due time. I would wait for the game to mature a little bit before considering the need for an upgrade.

as the saying goes, good things come to those who wait.

The whole computer is ready for an upgrade but the graphics card is your main problem.
The 5450 is extremely weak and not meant for gaming at all.

Do realize that you will probably also need a new powersupply if you upgrade it to a decent graphics card and that the cpu will form a bottleneck for it.
