OK I’m just going to throw this out there from personal experience. Graphical MMOs always have bottlenecks, some obvious and others rather obscure. On top of that some of these react differently with different computers. Look to any mmo with fancy graphics and you’ll find these things happen. So the fact that some people don’t encounter them doesn’t mean that they don’t exist. It is weird and I cannot imagine the difficulty of fixing this, but I’m pretty confident that anet is doing what they can.
I noticed that I had Vsync on (which is why it never went past 61 FPS). When I turned it off, I got around 70ish but rotating around caused it to lag a bit. I went back to Vsync because of that, and it seemed to make the game smoother. Soon I’m going to get a Asus vh236h monitor with a 2ms response time and see if FPS improves.
Also, this is slightly irrelevant, but does anyone else’s GPU have coil whine? Mine does. >o>
I don’t think fps is tied to your monitor.
Btw does anyone think I’d get better fps in big zergs with a new graphics card or is that mostly tied to cpu? i5 2500k, 560ti 448 cores atm.
I don’t think FPS is tied in with the size of a monitor either, but it’s nice to have hope in that. XP
And on your FPS matter, I would say both. Your GPU is for your graphics processing power (it’s probably THE MOST important part of your computer besides the CPU), and a ton of that is consumed in playing GW2. In addition to this, your CPU also has to process the program and what happens in-game. So to answer your question, getting a better GPU is always a better thing. However, if you are feeling a bit adventurous then you can OC your GPU/CPU and see if that makes a difference.
Also, I believe your network connection would also tie in to gameplay during the big zergs as you have to connect to the server which is processing thousands of other connections in that area. However, connectivity would be a lot worse if GW2 was peer to peer.
Sorry for the enormous quote. The only direct impact a monitor can have on performance is based solely on the resolution. Adjusting from 720p to 1080 and up and up each step cuts your fps somewhere between 1\3 and half, there is of course a lot of variables. If you are having trouble running the game dropping the resolution is a easy way to get the performance without sacrificing all those special effects, but generally its better to optimize at the best resolution for your system. 1080p at medium is almost always better visually then the next step down but low? Maybe not. So in conclusion a 32" 1080 and a 21" 1080 will have the same load on your card. Hope that helps.
Amd fx-6100 @ 4.2, and 1 PC 7950 @ 1030. Fully maxed out with native. Getting 60 fps constantly. The new drivers for amd make a positive difference with the fps drops. The game still has some random bottlenecks to be found though. I saw someone say something about the 7000 series having issues. The biggest issue they have is they don’t handle dx9 stuff well which I believe a lot of gw is. The drivers are making a big difference with this though.
