Guild Wars 2

Doesnt do much honestly. GW2 doesnt like crossfire so frame pacing is useless. It does give you some slight FPS in other games that handle Crossfire better.

well if you go with amd you really need to overclock it to get any sort of FPS out of guild wars 2.

Leave it to a guardian to cheat haha not like there OP or anything haha great find though.

i know i did a lot of tweaking but im and fps junkie and i gotta have the best setup i can haha

I do have ULPS disabled. Still low frames. going to try to sell my crossfire setup and get a 7970

Im not comparing intel vs AMD. i know an intel is MUCH MUCH better for FPS in Guild Wars 2. I was just trying to help those of us who were unfortunate enough to go with an AMD system without knowing how Guild Wars 2 handled threading.

All i have to say is stay away from AMD go with an Intel processor.An i5 2nd or 3rd gen blows FX cores out of the water.

Sorry to say it guys but Guild Wars 2 has not been too friendly with AMD systems. I went out and built myself a computer just for this game only to find out that GW2 has horrible threading and I picked the worst parts I possibly could. But there is a small glimmer of hope if your willing to do some work into some overclocking.

This album shows my options / stats used to achieve higher fps. Here is a short list of things you should do to increase your FPS using an AMD system.

1. Turn off Crossfire in Catalyst Control Center (See Picture 2 in link above)

2. Turn off 8-core processing if using a FX-8XXX model. (You can get a higher Overclock using just 4 cores)

3. Make sure RAM timings are accurate (I have DDR3 1600 with 9-9-9-24 timings, this can be changed in the BIOS)

3. Turn up Core Speed Multiplier in BIOS (I have my FX-8150 busting out 4.8GHz, See picture 1)

4. Turn off Core Boosters (We want a stable and even core speed)

5. Turn up Core Voltage to stabilize Multiplier (Be very careful with this. I don’t recommend pushing this past 1.5V. I have water cooling in my computer which allows me to keep my CPU cooler and am able to pump more volts into it, MORE VOLTS = MORE OVERCLOCKING)

6. In the Guild Wars 2 graphics options turn down reflections and shadows as much as possible. (See picture 5)

I’m having this same problem. I had good frames before and I came back with this latest patch and can barely play the game on lowest settings.

I have two of the same card series on Crossfire

Turn off crossfire using CCC. Makes a world of difference for this game.
