I know it’s an old thread, but I’ve just recently came back to the game and I’ve been busy with the new HoT content, so I haven’t seen this loading screen yet. The first time I ported to Lion’s Arch the other day, I was like “Wow, that looks exactly like the Chain Bridge in Budapest, Hungary!” so I did some research. Turns out the loading screen does in fact contain a picture of the Chain Bridge. Here’s a montage revealing the original image: https://guildwars2hu.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/s2sfok1_modified.jpeg

Week #6 - SFR / JS / ER

Good night everyone! I get the lead on EBG yesterday, 22h30 GMT+1. I let it just now. 24h of game, since 15h30, to get a great moment.

JS fought with heart, and i’m proud of this! It was really kitten EBG. ER and SFR are really stronger opponents. You pushed JS tap into unexpected resources. It was a great match.

And if I was so angry against ER yesterday, it’s because I consider ER as the sworn ennemy of JS, since March, and a powerful opponent who doesn’t need help to fight us.

Week #6 - SFR / JS / ER

As i said before , ER dont got the coverage to get 2nd place. But SFR did some calculating:

SFR 21 Points + 5 This week +1 next Week ( if vizu + Piken double Team them again) = 27
JS 19 Points + 3 This week + 5 next week = 27

So in the End they decided , they didnt want to share 2nd Place overall with JS and judging on their strength compared to JS, they are probably right.

Your math is right, you are just mistaken on one thing. We are not doing this because we don’t want to share second place with JS but because letting JS 2nd this week would mean than Piken would get the Bronze reward. And there is no way we’ll allow them to get any reward.

JS right now is merely a collateral damage from the bief between Piken and SFR.

I also recommend checking out GTX 660 and GTX 660 TI. Main difference I notice about those two is the 660 having 960 cuda cores and the 660 TI having 1344. However reason why I recommend looking at them is that they are previous generation hardware so the price could be fairly low on them. But keep in mind your PSU output if it can sustain it.

You’re welcome for the info!

The parts that I focus on when I look at Nvidia cards is the CUDA core count. Where the GTX 650 (any kepler variant) sits at 768, the GTX 760 sits at 1152. More CUDA cores means more power. The core speed in MHz on the 650 may be like 860-1000 MHz while the GTX 760 could be around 800-950 MHz. Or in general, lower than the 650 core speed. But since there’s more CUDA cores, there’s more to use and more overall performance in that regard. Another point is the memory bus being 128 bit on the 650, and the GTX 760 uses 256 bit VRAM. I’d have to wager that the GTX 760’s RAM performance may be up to twice as fast.
Honestly, you get what you pay for in a graphics card. If you pay 200 dollars for a graphics card, you get 200 dollars of performance. Same story with a 1000 dollar card like a GTX 690 or a GTX Titan.
However, the GTX 760 does require more power than a GTX 650.

I would recommend seeing how much power your PSU can output first and then check what kind of GPUs you can upgrade to.

Oh. I just er… read it wrong and listed the differences between 650 and 760. I don’t wanna erase all that ;__; So here goes.

The GTX 650, again uses 128 bit VRAM which will be slower in comparison to the TI Boost version of the GTX 650. Kepler version 650, and 650 TI and Ti Boost all have 768 Cuda cores (There’s ones with like 384 cuda cores… I kinda think they’re Fermi rebrands) the RAM on the TI Boost is slightly faster and it has a built in boost feature of course when your game needs a bit more umf. GTX 650, including TI and TI Boost are in my opinion the best bang for your buck kind of GPU in this generation of graphics cards on a budget system. Again if you wanted a 650 TI or TI Boost, check your power supply to make sure that it can adequately handle this graphics card.

Basically the 650 TI Boost is a bit faster than the base GTX 650. I recommend it for budget systems from time to time.

WvW Rank Not Account Wide :(

As I have seen 3 thimbles and zero kegs, with about 30 hours a week in wvw since they were released, I can only assume you play 24/7.

The rest of us are still working on our basic wvw abilities on our first character.

So yes. Account wide would be beneficial and make very good sense for 90% of the population that, you know, sleeps sometimes.
