Guild Wars 2

tyvm for your post alpha, i did pick best preformance and it was still quite laggy. guess im buying a quad core processor come my next big paycheck :p

and the computer i got at costco about 6 years ago and it was pre bundled. i’ve upgraded the ram, video card, and power supply but havent messed with anything beyond that yet. looks like its time

thank you for the replys, sadly though i dont know the difference between GPU and CPU >.> i’m a technical noob.

it is good to know im not the only one with the problem though.

and if my CPU is bottlenecking my GPU how and/or where would i fix that? :/

Hello all, as stated in the topic when i enter a big battle in WvW my framerate drops to around 5-10 FPS, and i find the game too laggy to even fire 2 arrows within 5 seconds. Even on the lowest settings possible. Is this just because the battle was too big? im assuming there were 100+ people there; or do i need to tweak my settings in my computer that i may be unaware of, such as overclocking.

here are my specs to the best of my knowledge:

Operating system: Windows 7 Professional 64 bit (6.1 build 7601)
Processor: Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU E6550 @ 2.33GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.3 GHz
Memory: 6144MB RAM (i believe ddr3? dont know how to check)
DirectX Version: DirectX 11
Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260

my graphics card driver is up to date as of august 30th, when i installed GW2 and it told me to update to a beta version.

Any help is appreciated, i would love to be able to play in the massive battles in WvW but currently it is just too laggy :/
