Hi guys, these days will buy a new PC(A8 5600K 3.4Ghz VGA 7870 2GB DDR5 8gb Ram DDR3 Corsair 1600) , and wanted to know if I can play with this set-up in WvWvW smoothly with a high resolution, thank you in advance and look forward to
Sorry for bad english
Short answer, no.
Long and techy answer, yes and no with alot of modding.
The No comes from the fact no system can smoothly play heavy WvWvW experiences on High with large (1080p) Resolutions. its just not possible
To get decent performance, you will need to overclock that CPU to get any kind of ‘good’ frame rate out of it. 4.6Ghz should be your goal (do research), and you will need to run the FX patch for Win7 and explore disabling the 2nd Core per Module in the system BIOS.
Then you need to adjust your ingame settings to be Medium/Low.
If you did not buy the system yet, replace that FX6100 with an intel i5 or i7 and you will get 2-3x’s the performance of that FX (or any FX for that matter) when it comes down to GW2.

ah.. i need a CPU with FM2 Soket, so what is the best for Gaming ? i have low budget ( 80-90€). i will use a 7870 VGA 2gb and 8 gb corsair ram
Like squish said, with alot of tweaks and software you can get decent frame rate from that AMD chip. But WVW will kill it. Currently only Intel i5’s and i7’s are able to produce playable frame rate in a zerg vs zerg situation and even then were only talking about 20-30 fps at the absolute most.
They say its because a-net doesn’t optimize their game, or because their game engine is too old to achieve anything better….neither of which i believe.

Stay away from the FM2 socket. its GARBAGE. What you want is the AM3+ socket and an FX series CPU (I would say at least a FX6100).
As for the GPU, There is no good reason to get a HD7870 for this game with out going High end on the CPU (i5-k or i7-k). As GW2 will not effectively use it. Instead I am now suggesting the HD7790 which is about 100 bucks, and will beat almost all of the same class GPUs out of the same price range (119-149).
