Guild Wars 2

I can tell you now though I have tried it on and off before and it didnt make the slightest bit of difference, I will try it again tonight to be doubly sure. is there anything else you can recommend? maybe tweaking the nvidia management settings or something?

Ah thats more like it, thanks solar, I definately have the latest beta driver 306.xx, Looking at some of the posts on here I have thought it might be my CPU struggling, now by all means the game doesnt look too bad, I just know it can and should look much better, now for a first time overclocker, would it be better to look at OC’ing the CPU or the GPU first?

I’ll post it a little later on, but V Sync is on and I think its on terrain and sky for reflections if thats the setting, if reflections is near the top of the graphic settings menu its probably on normal if its near the bottom it will be on high,

Well I definately have the latest Graphics and Sound drivers I did try to do as much as I could before directing the question here, I even updated the motherboard drivers (I believe)

It was custom built but not by myself, It came with a disc with all the drivers and stuff which was the first thing I installed when I got it, I dont know what it is but I just know its not performing as it should be if you get me. I just want to get the best possible results from my computer and I know I am not achieving it. I saw the game on my mates computer a couple of nights ago, now he has a slightly weaker cpu and and a radeon 6850 card but it looked so much nicer on his computer than mine plus he is able to play at a higher graphical setting while still getting a better FPS rate.

Hey people,

I Recently bought a new computer I think its pretty decent i’ll list the specs in a second, however in order to get the most of the game I bought a really powerful g card MSI PE 660 TI, now the card I had previously was the 560 model.

Now onto the main issue even after buying this brand new card I get pretty much the same FPS as I did on my old card and the settings arent even on max! There is no difference whatsoever in terms of performance my FPS fluctuates between 30-50fps in lions arch with a number of settings on medium. One thing I have noticed is when moving the camera it laggs a little too. I have tried a few things. First I tried reinstalling the game however this just kept my previous graphic settings. Second I thought it was because I was using a vga cable so I bought a new hdmi to dvi cable which made zero difference. I have the latest drivers for my card. Surely with the below I should be able to play this game on ultra settings while maxing FPS?

• Intel Core i5-2400 3.10GHz 6MB Cache (3.40GHz Max. Turbo Frequency) Quad-Core Processor
• Official Intel Cooler
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 TI
• 8GB Mushkin Enhanced Silverline (2×4GB) 1333 (PC3-10666) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM CAS 9-9-9-24 1.5V
• Gigabyte GA-H61MA-D3V GEN3 Intel H61 (REV B3) Socket 1155 DDR3 PCI-Express Motherboard
• 550W OCZ ZS Series 80PLUS Bronze Power Supply

Any help on this would be really appreciate because I feel I am not getting the most out of my computer and my game.

Thanks in advance!

Ah thanks for the reply but I dont think you understood what I meant (or maybe my post wasnt clear). The runes you can buy from the TP so they arent an issue, I use that website to look at the core stats the gear has and thats where I am a little stumped! I am unsure on whether to go full precision, condition dmg and toughness gear or mix and match for the best possible stat outcome, say for instance some bits of healing, power and vit gear too, I think I read on another post that a general rule of thumb was 1 toughness = 10 vit or something?

What I was thinking was getting the chest and legs as my core stats as they offer considerably more stat points than the other pieces, then getting feet and helm with different stats, maybe the next most beneficial points and then finally the shoulders and gloves with the least benefits?

This set is going to be my dungeon set so I need toughness, healing and vit for survivabilty.

Hey people!

I am karma farming at the minute to buy the exotic armor from the priests around the ruins of Orr, because its so expensive I dont want to waste the karma on gear that is sub optimal so I am putting this question out there for all you theory crafters (is that even right?) to help me pick the best set.

I am mainly looking to play sword and board with this set in dungeons primarily as I have a greatsword set which I use for events.

Does anyone know which pieces would make the best choice? I really want to make the best set so I would assume mixing up the stats from gear would be more beneficial than just going with one set of gear.

Any help on this would be appreciated!
