Guild Wars 2

After waiting since release, buying a new computer which is well over the requirements and still receiving LOW fps! why are you guying not replying or telling us on any updates?

This is not a flame!

But if i sold a car to you, with 3 wheel’s and promised the 4th the next day, only to tell you i put that priority to the back!

We support/fund your company and your staff’s life’s and family, and we get a broken game with no updates but copy & pasted reply’s over twitter. I mean come down to our level people, who save up to buy a game.

Hey all this is my first post, so im sorry if its in the wrong section as i couldn’t seem to find a general section for technical related questions.

I have a terrible PC at the moment,

CPU- amd single core 3700+
nVidia 7950GTX
2GB ram
Windows XP pro

And as expected the game runs awful, which i can’t moan about, as it played the first guild wars and the expansions maxed out with over 50fps.

What PC would you recommend? Or even if i could spend a smaller amount of money on a CPU for my motherboard, The highest i can go due to the 939 pin is an AMD Dual Core 4800+ which apparently should be okay? Any other people got these CPU etc? Cheers again.

Where abouts in the UK are you mate? Think you read my mind I am having a clear out at the min and have my old Opteron 185/FX-60 dual core that I am looking to get rid of.

The Opty 185 is the socket 939 server version of the FX-60 but if your motherboard supports the FX-60 then the Opty 185 should still work ok.

I think I still have 4gig DDR ram lieing around somewhere aswell.

The motherboard died years ago but held on to the CPU just beacuase I loved it so much it was my first high end gaming PC upgrade that I installed myself.

I dont want much for it and it is pretty dam slow compared to the newer stuff but could be a nice short term upgrade for you, if your interested download CPU-Z and if you can tell me your motherboard name, moddle number and BIOS verssion I can have a look see if I can find a CPU support list for your Mobo

Is it the AMD Opteron Dualcore 185 (revE6) (Socket939) ? If it is my motherboard supports it.

I’m not sure if links are allowed on here, but here’s mine, its pretty old to be honest.

Back to the OP’s question, you have an ancient motherboard. You do have a solid GPU however. If you want to fully enjoy GW2 you really want a quad core (preferably i5/i7 cpu) and Win7 64bit OS for at least 4GB ram since XP only sees up to roughly 3.2GB.

Intel i5 2400+=$185
8GB ddr3 ram=$40
1155 socket motherboard=$60
Win7 64b=$90

Also if it’s not to much to ask your prices are really low compared to the website i use in the uk, the i5 2400 is £169.00, which is around $272.94. So as you can see It’s quiet the expense here.

That would be great thank you very much! Dezmo.1623 and everyone else for the replies

Thank you for the replies, unfortunately i don’t have a great deal of money at the moment and my budget would be under £500, which im guessing what get me a great deal of PC.

As for the optimization queries i can’t even start,
Something i was very anoid about was, a few years back the developers said

" People who played guild wars 1 would be able to play guild wars 2 with minor updates to there system " I could max out GW and still get over 40+ fps in massive mob battles. No with everything turned to low/off i get around 10 fps in places with no players/enemies/missions in GW2.

If anyone knows of anyone who’s selling any cheap but reasonably good parts, please feel free to reply or message me!

Thankyou
