also, is it true that the game tends to use only 3 cores?

I would honestly advise going Intel. Ive had AMD rigs for years, and only recently gone to an Intel based system. The difference is night and day tbh in terms of performance in gaming. With GW2 im getting 30fps+ in a 3-way WvW zergball with everything on high (bar player LOD at med). It feels at times like I have a massive tactical advantage over other players because they react so slowly to me.

That’s my long term plan, but since i won’t be able to get the money to do that in less than a year and a half and want to be able to play some GW2 in the meantime (+ some other games that are bottle-necked by my actual CPU) my options seem to be limited to the 965. I’ll probably just stick to the PVE/sPVP part of the game.

Well, looks like I’ll stick with the 965 for now. I hope at least world events are playable at 30 fps on lowest settings. Thx guys!

If i were you i would save up 20bucks and get the AMD FX-8120 Black Edition instead.I owned the 965BE and the 8120,but the 8120 is by far faster and way easier to overclock,you can hit 4.5ghz easily on air ,has a much larger cache lvl aswell as it has 4 more cores.

Yeah, but i need to get a new motherboard aswell:( Kinda low on budget.

Thx for the feedback guys. I guess world events like Tequatl or Jormag perform pretty much along those same lines? Or is it a bit better?

Just some quick questions for anyone who has this CPU and plays GW2. How is the performance? Do WvW or big events/world bosses with lots of players run at around 30 fps on decent graphics? Was thinking about upgrading from my AMD Athlon II x3 450 and I don’t have a lot of money. Also, my GPU is AMD Radeon 6850 and have 4GB RAM installed.
