Guild Wars 2

Thank you for all the replies. It seems like I’m going to need a CPU and a GPU upgrade to get a constant 60+fps. Any recommendations on the best for the price would be welcome.

The GPU isn’t the limiting factor in most cases but the CPU. This game isn’t one where high end GPUs help as much as they do in FPS games.

My CPU isn’t having a trouble at max settings. Never uses more thank 60%. That’s why I’m thinking GPU

And that’s the common misconception about how CPUs work running programs.

This game has two primary threads, in terms of CPU usage, and a handful of helper threads that use considerably less CPU usage. This is why everyone stresses the performance of a single core on your CPU, for this game. Not that this game uses only a single core, it will use all the cores, it’s because each individual thread in a program can never exceed the total performance of a single core.

Now I’m not saying that moving up from a 660Ti, which is kind of slow these days, won’t improve your performance, I’m just saying it won’t improve it as much as you would expect if you went nuts and got a GTX 980. Considerably less improvement than what you would get in FarBattleDutyCrysis 43.

Lol farbattledutycrysis 43. What about assasinsworldofhalocraft 28? thanks for the explanation

My main problems are shadows shaders character textures and character limit

What’s your GPU?

CPU usage is not a good indicator.

Nvidea 660ti

Just wondering what GPU has the ability to play gw2 on the highest settings at 60+ fps. My GPU is my bottleneck on my system and I’m Looking to upgrade. I have a Intel 3770k 16gig ram and a Solid state. Im guessing my 660ti is the bottleneck. Anyone able to get 60+ fps on a budget card?
