Guild Wars 2

Thanks for the info fog. What is most people’s time zone and are you North American based?

Hi, returning player looking for a fairly active guild on the Sanctum of Rall server. I am primarily interested in PVE such as dungeons, fractals, farming, etc. I occassionally do not mind WvW, but just not really my thing.

I also prefer the guild to be mature with a mostly older crowd. I am usually semi-hardcore and normally my play times are EST at night.

After more research, the GPU should be in the top slot. After putting it back in that slot, it now reads 2.0 16x @ 16x 2.0. I am now getting 50-100 fps at penitent camp where I originally was getting 15-25. It must have just been a bad seat or something like that, but it now works.

Thanks guys for all the help.

That render test wants to download and install dx9. Not sure if I should install that.

Okay, I switched it to the lower PCI-express slot (didn’t even realize it had 2 slots). It is an ASRock 970 extreme 3. It is now showing PCI-E 2.0 x16 @ 4x 2.0. The game is running much better. I am now getting 30-40 fps where I was getting 15-25. It is now in the slot farthest away from the CPU. Is this the correct slot it should be in?

Only problem is my temp is up (I think) some because of reduced airflow down there.

It shows 2.0 x16 @ x2 2.0

I ran GPU-z. Most areas run pretty good 40+ fps, although my GPU usage was in the 90s mostly. Cursed shore around penitent was bad 20-25 fps and that is where I was in my first post. It seems my GPU usage does max out but FPS is acceptable in most areas.

Miiksu, do you have any problems with the beta drivers. I have been scared to try those.

After playing a few days, it seems in most areas fps is acceptable. Lions Arch is still bad, although that is to be expected. One thing I did notice is big events with lots of people (Dragons, meta-events) my fps do not drop. The more people on screen does not lower fps. This is most things maxed and shadows off.

I don’t have anything to measure my GPU, but the most usage on 1 core I have seen is 80% but it is mostly about 60% on 1 core and about 20% on 3 or 4 other cores.

Auto-detect puts me on max settings but with very few people around I rarely get near 20 fps. If I put everything to low it is the same. The same with everything in the middle.

I just built a new computer with an AMD FX-8350, radeon 6770, and 16 GB of RAM and I can only get 10-15 fps no matter what settings I use.

Any ideas?
