You could buy a Bi Xeon with 32 threads with 4 GTX980 everything watercooled and overclocked at maximum you will always run at 10/15 FPS during massive WvW/WB.
That’s the point.
Game is flawed then if this is the case, other WvW or PVP games i have played with 20-30 characters I still get 50 FPS. As above I spent money on this game and My machine is capable of producing high fps, I have proven this even if it was a small window so developers need to address it as we are consumer not getting our moneys worth and the GW team have admitted there is an issues so not sure why people defend this.
30-40 FPS is unplayable? I think that is a bit of an exaggeration
Ask for a refund if you want but the game is great and it still is 5-stars regardless of it not being optimized with your cpu
I run an i5 with an inferior video card to you and get about 30-40 fps… good enough for me
Everyone is different duded, 40 fps may be good enough for you but not for me. I know its capable of producing 60+fps on my machine and I have spent my hard earned cash on this game and I know its capable of producing it and this is what I should get. Developers need to address this. I am not the only one out there with the same issues.
Ok to start, Please if you have nothing technical to say then dont say it, I don’t want to hear about “Upgrade Your CPU, Its Your CPU, Change Your CPU” OR its your Machine etc etc ITS NOT!
My PC is 3 months old I have a AMD FX-8320 Piledriver, 3.50GHz, 8x Cores and Sapphire Overclocked R9 270X 4GB DDR5, OS and GW2 are on separate Gaming SSD’s.
This PC can run most games on ultra at 70-90 FPS and runs WOW on Ultra at 105 FPS if I let it.
I purchased GW2 two days ago and noticed that not matter what I did i always get 35-40 FPS.
I can set the game graphics to everything LOW or everything HIGH and its always 30-40 FPS.
I have spent up 5 hours over the last few days researching this and it comes down to GW2 being CPU reliant and I have noticed that my CPU is only at 10-20% active when GW2 is running thus the low FPS.
I followed numerous video’s and forums, I have Unparked CPU’s ( only 2 were parked of 8 ) etc etc and I have been setting gw2.exe to Realtime CPU priority (even though nothing is running as CPU is at 90% idel) and turned off a few graphical settings and managed to get FPS 35-42 BUT come on . . . NOW here is a twist….
After All this and this has only happened once and was last night I had a good run for 30 minutes, I was in the same area, no where new, the same place i was getting 30-40 FPS but I noticed that the game had started running smoothly and noticed it was now using 40%+ CPU and I started to get 60-85 FPS… So i decided to restart the game to test to make sure this wasn’t an anomaly… Sadly it was and I cannot replicate it.
BUT there is your proof that My PC can handle High to Ultra settings in GW2 with Shadows on high and reflections on max and get 60+ FPS
BUT because of the game design it has issues with my CPU, this is Age of Conan all over again but that was with ATI cards.
SO anyone have any ideas? When will this be fixed? What can I do?
We shouldn’t be expected to fork-out another $4-600 for a i7 and new motherboard as this PC is well capable of running all games on ultra. I am starting to think i should demand a refund as its not playable at the moment and according to all forums I read this has been ongoing since release in 2012. SO clearly no fix coming soon?
All this Hype and recommendations form people to play put GW2 at 5 Stars with me but now that I am in…… clouds are covering these starts fast,
And for the grumpy readers defending this game I am not QQ or what ever this is, all the forum posts i read are 2012 or 2013 or very early 2014 so I am hoping someone out there as had luck with optimization with AMD CPU’s or some sort of background fix. Or perhaps I have missed a post from the GW team.
