Guild Wars 2

Nova.6902:

Thank you for the answer. That what I was looking for. I’m sorry if it seems I’m having a go, I’m not. This game is beautiful and fun when being kind to me. I don’t doubt that you all are working your best to get results. Your long and constructive answer is what I was looking for. You’ve now told me the steps and plans being taken which assures me something is being done. Not just some kitten “We know of the problem” while 3 months later we’ve not been told anything. I follow the Tech thread quite a lot.

I’ll do as you recommended. Thanks, you are a credit to your team.

One last question – https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Low-FPS-merged/first 0 what came of this thread? Over 1k people posted, did it narrow anything down or help with the investigation?

Just checking, but, you’re using the appropriate CAP, right?

Quiznos.4296:

typical eye cannot detect movement faster than 32 fps. Why do you need a higher frame rate? unless you plan on recording video and then reviewing it in slow-mo. (or is it just for bragging rights?)

4.4Ghz doesn’t mean a whole lot without the # of cores or actual processor name (architecture is important). The second you OC you lose all support from everyone ever btw. Power supply either works, or doesn’t, no need to mention it; certainly wont affect frames. Try running with 1 graphics card (or disable crossfire). define “clean format” did you completely format your hard drive, and install nothing but drivers and GW2? Update your drivers for everything & disable as many processes as possible Anything that shows your user name next to it in task manager can be ended (don’t end taskmgr though). Then try running GW2 right from the task manager.

I run max settings w/ v-sync at ~30fps 1920×1080 resolution on my laptop, not over clocked, core i7 (Q840) @ 1.87GHz, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5850 (1Gb ded & 3Gb shared), DX10, 8GB RAM, off a SSD. Internet speeds of 25 down 5 up.

The human eye can detect well over 32fps. Thomas Edison himself said that he thought 46fps was the minimum necessary to avoid eye strain. There wouldn’t be such a fuss over The Hobbit being filmed at 48fps if it were undetectable. See the two videos in this link as an example, one is 24fps and one is 48fps: http://chrisgoestothemovies.com/2012/11/12/the-hobbit-in-48fps-an-overview/

And I did mention my CPU. It’s in the title of the post. Support issues surrounding OCing are a non-issue for me because I bought and assembled the parts myself.

Your post is unhelpful.

I’ve followed the advice for in-game settings outlined in the post here. This rig, which crushes BF3 and basically every game, still drops to about 30fps at high settings.

This can’t be right. Am I missing something?

I did a clean format tonight to eliminate any latent software issues. The result was the same. CPU OC up to 4.4ghz does not affect fps. Both cards are running at PCIE x16 per GPU-Z. Power supply is fine.
