Guild Wars 2

mathisk.6427:

Unfortunately, I don’t think your machine is as good as you think it is. The Pentium 4 is very weak by today’s standards. Even though it’s 3GHz, it’s not going to be nearly as fast as most of today’s 2GHz chips.

The 630 video card is also not going to help you out. It’s a mid-range media card, not a performance gaming card. At best, it will be slow to get the rendering done. At worst, it’s going to make the CPU do extra work to emulate any DirectX features that aren’t implemented in the hardware.

Lastly, the 2GB of RAM is going to hurt. Your operating system is going to be taking up at least half of that, with GW2 wanting to use up at least 1GB on its own. So your computer will be paging memory out to the hard drive all the time, when GW2 is running. That will slow your PC down even more.

As for the good framerates on the character select screen, that’s easy to explain. There is virtually nothing going on there. The PC only has to render a background image, some text, and your character. By all accounts, a very simple scene that is not at all indicative of what things will be like in the game, when the world gets infinitely more complex and there are dozens of other characters that need to be rendered.

off top of your ehad what do you imagine id need to spend to fix everything or rather buy a decent PC that can handle this stuff

but that still doesnt make sense to me ive played games with more high end graphics or whatever then GW2 and they ran just fine so i dont understand this

even in my video card game compatibility guild wars 2 showed as excellent but when im in game im at like 4 to 16 FPS i cant play it at all and i have no idea why these my are specs bellow and my video card is geforce GT630 my FPS is at 40 in char select then when i get into game world its like 4-15…unplayable and with my specs it clearly shows that there should be no reason to have trouble running this game
