what is the framerate when vsynced?

45-60 (depending on area. Lion’s Arch is a PITA)

I can do thirty Five-Dolyak Arm Curls.

Do you even lift, bro?

Coil or inductor whine, use vsync to limit the frame rate.

I’ve got vsync enabled in-game. Switching it on/off didn’t seem to make a difference…

^This,i remember back in the GTX280 days nvidia commonly used non-shielded capacitors and coils that vibrate under high current.
The only real fix ive seen required some modding,thus voiding warranty.

So it is not harming the GFX? I play with headphones so I can’t really hear it anyway.

The two Warrior class skills vastly outperforms the racial skills.

Even if the shapeshifting was on a toggle with low cooldown I’d be hard pressed to replace my Signet of Rage.

Thing is it plays the game flawlessly. If it coughed and sputtered in the performance department as well it’d be a different issue, wouldn’t you agree?

… could we please add a prompt that mentions that the backpack is wholly unique while the goggles can be easily gotten from crafting?

I’m feeling mighty irked after picking the goggles; had I known I would have picked the backpack for sure!

Whenever I fire up GW2, my GFX card goes nuts; it makes this very laudable “electrical whirring” sound that reacts to the graphics (spinning the camera around changes the pitch and sound of the noise). If I alt-tab out of the game it goes away completely.

I do not get this with any other game. I’m worried and suspect it might be a hardware malfunction in which case I hope and pray my warrant covers the card, but I figured I might as well try making a thread about it.

The GFX card has not been altered or overclocked or anything. I am also not entirely sure it is my GFX card, but to me that seems like the most probably culprit given the nature of the problem.
