Guild Wars 2

soon as i have 30/40 people on my screen i get unplayable lagg frames drop to from 45 to like 2-3 frames its getting really iritating.

im using a AMD II 3.0 gz duocore
vista 32bit ultimate
4g ram
GTX650ti-2gb
600w psu
board is – asrock n68c-s ucc phenom II am2+/am3

Hey there…I believe the issue would be on your cpu if i’m correct. I run a 3570k 4 core at 4.9ghz and I drop to 26-30fps with around 75+ with huge spells bursting. So yeah a duocore would prolly settle in around 5 fps.

Indeed, your processor is the weakest link in your machine. If you want playable frames in WvW, then I would recommend an upgrade to either an FX 8320 or FX 8350, i5 3570K or i7 3770K. Then of course you will need a new motherboard. However, your graphics card is fine, it should do a solid set of medium settings at 1080p.

read that thread, then comment there….we are trying to keep this kinda talk into that thread do that as it grows perhaps somebody will notice….(if we keep it front page for as long as possible.)

its your cpu its your cpu its your cpu

bullkitten

i have a phenom x4 955 at 3.8GHz with a 560ti

i get the EXACT SAME fps as he just reported, where my fps will plummet into the single digits

i didnt play this game for a few months, i came back wondering why i never went back to it.

so i lvled up a new character (thief) to 80 while avoiding wvw because i wanted to get to 80 1st.

I then remember why i quit playing the game

doing events like the shatterer or other dragons will sometimes get me into the high teens, and the entire time lvling(minus large battles like dragons) i was getting constantly high fps, 30-60 fps

i can tell you this now, DONT upgrade your cpu to another amd one, because it wont make a lick of difference because Anet doesnt support them for kitten, and if you do got an amd cpu cranking up to those high fps, your one of only a few.

i went from stock clocks of 3.2ghz and cranked it up to 4.2ghz and made no difference whatsoever….well ok i lied, i actually got an average of around 2fps better, big difference there huh

i dont remember what they changed recently, but i never recalled my fps in the single digits in wvw, (the lowest i remember was in the mid teens) it was the 1st i could ever recall being that low, and with such a low enemy count on screen as well

full system specs ?

duno what would cause a 1ghz overclock to do no good, I know 4.6 boosts my fps from dropping to the teens and 20’s to keeping them around 30 in heavy load situations…..

phenom II 955 x4
4GB gskill 800mhz (dated but still works)
MSI GTX560ti Twin Frozr II
Corsair TX750w PSU

ive had this discussion before already, and it led to wasted time, a reinstalled OS, and an fps increase of 0

i can play everything else fine, GPU actually gets some workout in other games with 90+% usage, in this game if i want it to get that high i just crack everything up, induce lag with shaders to high (for some reason i get massive lag with shaders on high and gpu usage doesnt even go up more than 2% wtf is with that)

i have never once seen my cpu go over %75 in this game, even in the major WvWvW

but like i said, i specifically remember the game running vastly better (never in the single digits) the last time i played (with was a few months ago)

ive considered upgrading my RAM but ive seen so many others who’ve done so with no results whatsoever.

i just want to know why the hell WvWvW is so vastly different, i get 10-20 people on screen and fps tanks in the single digits 5-8 whereas the last time i played this game it used to be around 30-50 ppl and my fps maybe went down to 15-25.

honestly, id rather just wish i could get back to the days of the games release date fps, back then i was able to actually play WvW, even at lower fps, now i cant even use skills.

new build was just released

i go to play the game and the 1st thing i notice is even lower fps

i use msi afterburner to check fps and gpu usage and the such, and now my gpu is STUCK IN LOW POWER 3D MODE with a mhz of half of what it was before the update

WTF

Edit: turns out i was able to get it out of low power mode by increase gpu settings near max.

did they all of a sudden make the game more gpu dependent for me or what? but then again looking at usage the gpu is only sitting at 35%… kitten /p>

go into afterburner disable ulps and powerplay, restart, test.

officially anets made it pretty clear today that there is no problem
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Will-the-fps-be-fixed

or no problem they will ever admit to, the game from anets perspective runs perfectly on all hardware thats min spec and up.

the game is cpu bound(they admit this) the fix is to get a top end intel chip and clock it to within an inch of its life to maintain 30+fps game wide…..

dont expect any help from anet, they do not want this talked about, because they arent going to fix it any time soon….if ever.

EDIT: forgot to mention, many people have the problem of gpu usage dropping to low and causing their videocard to go into low power mode, only fix is to force an OC and disable power saving features of the card since the cpu will bottleneck causing gpu load to drop like a rock.

but why did it happen all of sudden to me now, it never once happened beforeand ive maintained around medium settings with gpu in performance mode constantly.

now this new build made it go into low power unless i max it or turn of power saving

probably something to do with changes made that make the game use more cpu, just enough that the cpu bottlenecks even worse, causing your card to drop to low enough use that it falls into 2d mode rather then full 3d mode(clock wise)

I love this game but, I and everybody I know save one fellow who dosnt do events or wvwvw has put he game down, many have removed it, because it runs so poorly we cant even do WvWvW as a group without an fps hit…and that was a big part of us getting teh game DE’s and WvWvW….

funny enough, some of them are now playing tera for pvp and are loving it…despite he pvp flaws tera reportedly has…..

now happy to report the new build has introduced something ive never once had before

audio crackling

+1 anet

nope no problems with this game to cover up
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Will-the-fps-be-fixed

none at all, the game has zero problems with perf or anything else…. rolls eyes
