Guild Wars 2

Hello,

I’m having a FPS problem with my system & GW2 and hope you can help me solve it.

My system specs:

AMD Phenom II X4 965
8 GB DDR3 1600mhz
ASUS HD 7970 DC2T 3GB
Samsung Syncmaster P270
OCZ Vertex 3 120GB

CPU idle temp: 33.1
GPU idle temp: 32.0

CPU with GW2: 42.3
GPU with GW2: 53.0

This is a pretty clean install, just OS, some small programs and GW2.
I have been a gamer for years so i try to keep my system clean & updated with drivers & patches.

In GW2 my problem is mainly FPS lag.

On a good day i can get 16 but usually it’s somewhere around 10-ish making it pretty impossible for me to play…i tried best performance (makes things extremely ugly and bumps FPS to around 25) and auto discovery (which puts everything on high) but gives me 10 fps. I even played around with custom settings but even that does not give me a playable FPS amount.

I never had this FPS problem in other games such as RIFT, TERA, BF3 or Diablo 3. My settings are usually on high or highest and i get steady FPS.

I understand that in MMO’s your FPS is impacted by many things, but i would have hoped to get some more FPS with my current rig….

Does anyone have a suggestion what to do?

I cannot think of anything anymore…

Thanks in advance!

See the other gazillion topics about your problem.

Also prepare to have your topic merged or renamed.

Also, be prepared to not receive an answer.

Noticed most of the issues are with AMD Systems or Ati Videocards. Have you tried running Beta Catalyst drivers?

No you didn’t. Stop spreading this misinformation. There are many many topics of people having this issue with INTEL and NVIDIA hardware. There are also many issues of people with exactly the same builds having completely different performance.

That sucks :-(.

I checked the AMD site, the latest beta driver is 12.7 from 6/28/2012 and current Catalyst Software Suite is 12.8 from 8/15/2012 so the beta drivers are older.

I think i might have found a solution…or well..my FPS is more steady now…between 25 and 50….still choppy game play but atleast it’s not a slideshow anymore.

What i did is reinstalled Application Profiles.

Stepped on your toes much? Seriously can your crappy attitude. It is not misinformation. Yes there are people having issues of the same type on Intel based cpu’s and Nvidia Gpu’s, but most of the issues Ive read(not just on here) are based on either a AMD Cpu or a AMD ATI Gpu.

so get over yourself. Dont kitten post if you don’t want help.

Correlation is not causation.

A lot of people have some form of AMD hardware.

The fact is, there is no specific hardware causing these issues, and there is no proof of such.

Yes, some amd hardware (bulldozer) may perform slower, but there is no way the difference in performance is as great as people are experiencing.

Many people with AMD hardware are having incredible performance. It is misinformation to blame it on AMD.

Otherwise, I wish I could help, OP, but as of the September 18th patch, I’m having the same issue.

Also, I don’t mean to attack you personally or anything. It just so happened that after reading the same thing from umpteen other posters (who didn’t even bother to read the thread they were posting in), yours was the one in front of me when I was ready to post. I apologize.

Sounds ‘stupid’, but have you tried <Windowed Fullscreen> instead of <Fullscreen>? This would disable crossfire, but sometimes crossfire is the problem.
