I’m completely aware that bulldozer isn’t a great, by any means, processor. It’s not news to anyone…but im working with what i got..and what i got was a huge increase in performance… I posted this to help people who have a similar build as me and who haven’t attempted to OC..not to be bashed because people want to compare a Intel to AMD…i see no other reason why i should post anything about helping people when everyone tries to nay say or just be completely immature about anything anyone is trying to do. maybe next time ill just say..hey i fixed my problem…screw you all..just sayin kids..

ok, first off I was attempting to help anyone with the same build or one similar. secondly if ur build is so much better why are you getting “dips”? imtrying to help those with the problems I had. not to feed u children b.s. to toss around and use it to speak down to someone…i posted my specs, and exactly the steps I took to better my game play…and sry I cant tell any dif between 60 and 1xx fps….im not here to argue im trying to help

My main problem with the game was that i was getting 20-40fps, and I knew I should’ve gotten a bit more for my rig.

I have a AMD FX 6100 cpu, which at the time wasn’t Over Clocked.
Turning up my multipliers to 23.5 ( originally 3.3 ghz ) brought my processor up to 4.7ghz
also brought my power up to 1.425v

FX lines are mostly BE, meaning they are meant to be overclocked..and can keep great temps with just standard cooling fans and what not. Me on the other hand i have a Corsair H60 watercooler and never see above room temps no matter what I’m loading.

To skip all the details…..i now manage ANYWHERE (including WvWvW & World Events ) a 60-61fps (v-sync on due to refresh of monitor and the human eye cant see above 60fps anyways, limits the tearing of the screen )

So, if you have any sort of Black edition or FX cpus…if you feel safe enough i recommend you looking into a “How To” on over clocking your processor.

It has completely fixed my FPS issues…

I really hope this helps some of you out on the FPS issue..

PS. I do have 16gig of 1866 ram…my ram wasn’t reading properly until i actually OC’d the processor on a 990fx Sabertooth Mobo it was reading at 1333, so it was clocked down…just some things i’ve fooled around with.

Client crash & Low frame rate.

To begin, I run the game with these specs.

Sabertooth 990fx mobo.
AMD 6100 fx processor (6cpu 3.8GHz)
16 gig of Kingston ram
Corsair H60 Water cooler
SLI’d EVGA Geforce GTX 580’s (1536 mb. per )Legacy driver 306.02 – dx11
23.5" Asus Monitor
Corsair Graphite T600 series tower
TR2x Thermaltake 750w psu
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.

I’m running the game at Auto-detect. Which is everything MAX’d. I turn V-sync on so I get no tearing in screen. ( so i’m cap’d at 60-61 fps while staring at my feet )

While I venture out my FPS will drop to about 33-40 fps
If i were to either jump into a giant battle or a highly intense open world event, of course my FPS will decrease, but by no means should it do so down to the teens. Not only that, but I risk a client crash as well – EVERY single time I’m in a highly particle fought battle my client crashes and boots me to desktop which then GW2 auto logs back in.

I know this game isn’t Battlefield 3. But to give a comparison on how this game runs to that game – I get average 80-90fps during explosions and full scale battles during the game…roughly 115-120 fps with me just jogging along.

My problem is the client crashing more so the FPS dropping, because I know this will be fixed in due time as well as this crashing. But I just would like to share the only inconvenience that hinders me from enjoying this game.
