Guild Wars 2

I’ve spent a number of hours on this … Keep in mind again that my CPU is OCed to 4.2ghz, the absolute limit for a phenom 2 basically.

Basically during wvw my cpu is causing such a huge bottleneck that my gpus are running as low as 20% usage.

Lowest settings…same FPS as highest:

Couple More during fights …. really sucks:

Pretty sad…..outside of WvW i get great FPS.

WvW is unplayable for me though — even with my 1100T OCed to 4.2ghz. It’s entirely CPU bound due to everytrhing going on -- I get the same FPS on max settings as I do on lowest settings during WvW. An unplayable 20 FPS.

Sadly, as many others have said, this is the only game I have problems with.

Unfortunately I’m hovering in the 30-50FPS range with settings maxed out, supersampling on.

Hopefully Nvidia will release a SLI profile soon, as right now the game is essentially treating both GPUs as one (ie. 50%/50% GPU usage, 40/60% etc)

As far as CPU goes…I’m running an AMD 1100T @ 3954mhz. I noticed the game seems to very well multithreaded —- almost always using 4 of my CPU cores at 70-90%.

TLDR: Unfortunately Nvidia FINALLY resleased a new WHQL driver just today, and it included not GW2 updates. Both Nvidia and AMD are likely working on it though, just like they’re working on Dark Souls.

Here’s to hoping!
