Sorry for my bad english.

I have a dual core (2.5 ghz 32 bits) and an ATI 4650 HD 4gb ram ddr2 800, I always played with very low fps and I leave the game at first for that.

I replay 2 days ago, and i cant play against zerg because my fps drops to 2-3 fps even back to zerg. I know that I’ ve a low pc and graphic card.

Today I can play with a regular fps 12-15 with massive zerg, over 20 with normal zerg or similar and was great for me.

I used a tool called RadeonPro, google it. I create a profile for guild wars 2, selecting the client. In advanced I changed minimap quality and performance, graphics performance stinks. But still with quality I can play.

The setting that I change is LOD of textures (level of detail), I’m not an expert, but is a value that tells how much detailed a item would be in this case an texture would be, negative values increment the requeriments get best quality, from 0 to 3 (decimals between) decrease quality but increment the performance. Only with 0.2 value I can play a normal game in wvw with the fps that I said top. Try differents configurations with minimap and lod and use aninsotropic and tripple buffering optimizations.

I guess that is because I have and old graphic card and with reducing lod textures are smaller and need to process less.

Disable aero option works well too for me.

This are my actual setting for wvw:
