Guild Wars 2

Radeon r9 290x 4GB, AMD a4 7600, 8gigs ram,
Okay I won’t say that my pc is really high high end, but seriously, even if I put everything possible on low i cannot get behind 30fps just when standing, world to play vs bosses is impossible, what is wrong with this game? It can’t be that my pc can’t run it on 30fps stable that’s all i ask. ArenaNet i feel like i’ve been robbed! Battlefield 4 ultra, works good, basically most of games I can run on ultra, why can’t I run GW2 even on low???

Are you in really busy parts of the game when it is running slowly? The game becomes almost unplayable for me if there’s a massive battle going on such as against the dragon at L80 with 100 or so players involved. Is the frame rate a whole lot better in a quiet part of the game?

Good at multithreading, bad at singlethreading (GW2 uses DX9 = Single-Thread)

Someone correct me if I’m wrong here but isn’t the 290x bottlenecked here by the a8 7600? Since this game is heavily cpu dependent your cpu might have something to do with it. That aside it does however sound as if something else/also might be going on here.
