Have had terrible fps since launch.

Snip

Had some great performance for 2 of the stress tests where I got 50+fps on auto detect settings (mostly medium, some low or off) if nothing was going on, 30-40 running around fighting.
The other stress tests had low performance (note I didn’t change any drivers etc during the stress test period).

Your rig is extremely outdated and not suited for modern gaming. Your performance likely isn’t going to get any better with future updates.

Note the part where I said I had good performance (relatively) for 2 of the stress tests.
I know my rig is old. But the game can run perfectly fine on it if it is optimised properly.

Edit: plus I’m wary of upgrading the card in case I still get poor performance due to other compatability/optimisation issues with the rest of my PC setup.

Have had terrible fps since launch.

Q6600 2.4Ghz
8800GT
4mb Ram
1920×1080

In some places I may get 15fps when not moving with all settings set to low or off.
Moving the camera drops frame-rate to below 5fps (if it wasn’t already there).

Certain objects/graphical effects (not always obvious what it is) make fps tank to below 5. eg water spouts. Which seems to make some areas worse, like Asuran tutorial area 1-2fps (if it doesn’t crash)

If I play with Logitech G930 headset i get sound static artifacts that only go away with game restart. As well as worse performance, so I’m just using speakers at the moment.

Thing I have tried:-
-Clean install (using Driver Fusion) of graphics drivers, tried 3 latest release and 2 latest beta versions.
-Uninstall sound drivers and clean install
-Updating DirectX
-Defrag Hard Drive
- Repair of client. Reinstall of client.
-Disabling PhysX, uninstalling Physx
-Lowering resolution (made the game run worse)
-Changing card performance profiles. Letting game decide settings.
-Systematically going through each graphical setting and trying them at higher/lower values.
-Temps are ok. CPU usage sits at around 40% with one core occasionally spiking up 60%

Had some great performance for 2 of the stress tests where I got 50+fps on auto detect settings (mostly medium, some low or off) if nothing was going on, 30-40 running around fighting.
The other stress tests had low performance (note I didn’t change any drivers etc during the stress test period).

Hope Anet can sort out the problems, having a blast with parts of the game I can experience
