Guild Wars 2

Please check for me it’s 3 day and i don’t receive any responde
my ticket is [—-001:000548:56142—-]

If I were you, I would somehow test whatever parts you can with GW2 before you get your new PC. Because this game has some serious issues with certain cards, no matter how powerful your PC is – this game has driver issues.

See the Low FPS thread.

People in there with godlike computers running at 10 FPS.

So before fixing low framerate issues for PC users, they release a whole Mac client.

Gotta love ArenaNet.

The game does have FPS problems, not sure whats wrong with the idiot trolls in this thread.

There’s a thread with 100’s of users experiencing similar problems to the OP.

I run this game with a beasty PC, yet framerate in a lot of places dips to 15.

MS Windows 7 64-bit SP1
Intel Core i5 2500K @ 3.30GHz
4.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 665MHz
MSI P67A-G43 motherboard
AMD Radeon HD 6950 (XFX Pine Group)

It seems every other day like clockwork Anet patches the game and my performance drops substantially. On the days when they patch it and things work, I get over 100 FPS with everything maxed out completely. In fact, I have to limit the FPS to help keep the temperature down. On days like today when the patch kills my performance, my FPS doesn’t break 15 on the lowest possible settings even when there’s nothing going on around me.

Your system is almost identical to mine.

Only difference is I have 10GB Ram and a MSI Z68A-G43.

I’ve noticed quite a few complaints here with the ATI Radeon HD 6950 which leads me to believe the main problem is definitely something to do with graphics card compatibility.

David,

Sorry to hear about your problems. I would reccomend updating to the newest video card drivers (Catalyst 12.8 (I think)) and downloading and installing the newest CAP made available earlier today: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonaiw_vista64.aspx

I know it sucks to have other games run well and this game not so much, but keep in mind that it is both on the developers of the game as well as the developers of the hardware to make sure both are optimized to run together.

Thanks for the reply but unfortunately, I have downloaded the latest drivers and CAP but the difference is unnoticeable.

I’m still stuck with low FPS after downloading and installing both.

I already had the drivers, just reinstalled to double check, no difference…

:(

Since I started playing GW2, even in the Beta Events, I’ve always had bad FPS.

My Specs Are:

ATI Radeon HD 6950
Intel Core i5 2500K @ 3.30ghz
10 GB Ram

I had attached DxDiag.txt to this thread.

I have seen videos of people using the exact same Card and CPU as me and they seem to be able to play the game on max settings with good FPS.

I run the game on the LOWEST possible settings and I still get like 15 FPS in towns.
I think it has something to do with the draw distance as my FPS only goes terrible when I look up and around….

My computer can run 6 instances of Diablo 3 all at 60 FPS.
My computer can run 1 instance of Guild Wars 2 at roughly 20 FPS…

Please if anyone could help, this is really stopping me from playing / enjoying this game.
