Hi Rolo and thanks for your answer. You don’t understand, reason why I bought gtx 680 was to max all games in years further, and im already struggling with GW2. OFC I can take down some settings but this does not reduce my dissapointment and even though all lag ill try to not bother it and keep on playing on highest settings, and also wait for this to get fixed, till then i wont WvWvW.
Note that in the betas and tests just days before the launch I completely maxed this game without trouble. thanks guys for you answers, i feel much better knowing its not at my end.
Yes, but benches clearly show the difference between 3.5 and 3.7GHz. It IS a way to boost performance and regardless. The matter still stands the game is chewing CPU and if the CPU is maxing out but the 680 is laughing it off then the 680 is bound to the CPU and and isn’t using it’s full potential, thus bottlenecking the performance to the CPU. Sure it can be optimized but at this current point the solution is to OC the CPU and hopefully get your frames to where you want them.
EDIT: His CPU has very capable potential of hitting 3.6 if not 3.8 and staying within desired temps. Do that for now until they optimize which will probably come after fixing bugs in game. In addition, try beta drivers to pinch some more frames if possible.
I get like 60 C full load on my cores already, so cannot overclock it. Got a cooler next to me but can’t get it in my comp without taking out mother board first and im far from a tech. It’s sad, but im glad to know thats it not at my end.
Can you guys please check my 2nd question too?
There is nothing wrong with your PC, the game is not well optimised right now.
I get great FPS rates in snowy areas too. But awful in other places.
just gonna have to wait for them to fix it mate.
but you can rest easy as there is nothing wrong your end.
Thanks alot man, you calmed me down. I have no probs waiting, I’m just the kind of guy who worries too much. Thanks.
What kind of hardware do i need to have in order to have 30 fps in heat of battle in WvW?

In wvw I get 15-25 FPS with gtx 680 and i5 2500k stock. So yeah, it requires a good CPU at least.
Crank that 2500k & watch ur fps fly. What’s the point of even having a 2500k running at stock?
Because it costs money to buy a cooler? I can’t put it in myself and in that case I’ll have to pay someone to do. I mean, it does like 2-3 FPS difference in most games anyways.
I want a real answer. I run the game in snowy areas with like 60-100 FPS all maxed, supersampling, all that. Though in some areas, Bloodtide, Hinterlands I struggle and get 40-60 FPS, even worse in events. This is OK, sure it isn’t that good and i expected more from my gtx 680 but it works. Though, in large zergs WvW I get 15-25 FPS. My question is, is something wrong on my computer? I got i5 2500 3.3, the latest beta drivers, I run every other game as I should, I do not overheat, I got 650W, and my motherboard are all good.
My next question is, if the game is so CPU bound, will I still max games with my gtx 680 as in AC3, Bordelands 2, Resident evil 6, GTA V and the rest of these epic new games coming soon or will they also require a better CPU? Do I need to upgrade it? I can’t put in my cooling since it doesnt fit and can’t really buy a new one but ill buy a new cpu when next generation comes out mid-2013 as they say, and early 2013 ill buy a new power supply and motherboard to prepare. I hope GTX 680 will last for me and this setup will be able to handle all games till my upgrades? Thanks, and I’m sorry for the wall of text without any dots.
