Guild Wars 2

Ahh, didn’t realize that was a part of that setting, thanks.

I guess that’s a no

One of the things I loved visually while playing WoW, is that despite the rather mediocre textures and model resolution, I could always crank the ground clutter up to an insanely high level and it would make outdoor zones look far better than they otherwise would.

Is there a setting for this in GW2?

The ground clutter is rather sparse in this game from what I’ve seen so far, and it would really make it look fantastic if I could cover the flat poly-ground in lush sprites as far as the engine will draw.

Just thought I’d give everyone an update. I’m not sure what changed between when I was playing the game before and when I picked it up afterposting this message, but my performance increased dramatically. I can now run the game at 2560×1600 with everything maxed out while doing PvE and still get playable frame rates. I’m pretty sure my processor’s still bottlenecking my performance, as the frame rate doesn’t change much no matter what I do, yet isn’t dramatically high, but this is a huge improvement.

Loving this game.

And I’m not getting smooth performance in any areas. Haven’t done any WvW or even gotten to major cities yet.

Say, theoretically, I was planning to upgrade: what would give me really solid all around performance while playing this game at max settings in say 1920×1080?

Updated drivers?

Pretty recently, but I’ll make sure

Full defrag lately?

I don’t think I’ve ever defragged, does that really make a difference with GW2?

Using ‘Razer’ Game booster at all?’

Never heard of it until just now, is it really useful?

Cleaned processor fan/heatsink, and reseated all things. RAM/gfx card and cpu?

Haven’t tried this yet, although I’m not too excited about reseating my processor/dealing with thermal paste, etc. But I’ll definitely reseat the GPU and make sure everything’s dusted and such.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Also, I might add, I’m plying it at 1680×1050 resolution, and changing graphics setting from lowest to highest only seems to give me around a 7 FPS difference.

Hi,

I love what I’ve played of this game, but it’s been a really bumpy ride, and hard to enjoy it. My FPS seems to range from the low teens to about mid 20s and never really goes above that, it’s making the game really hard to play.

My system specs are as follows:

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.4Ghz
Evga Nforce 680i SLI
8GB RAM
Evga Nvidia GTX 480
Windows Vista X64 Ultimate

I know my processor is hamstringing me somewhat, but looking on the forums, seems like other people are getting anywhere from 20fps to 60fps depending on the area in game with the same proc. Why are my FPS so low?!?
