Guild Wars 2

Another 4 gigs of ram will help a little bit. However, nothing short of a NASA tier computer will run WvW stable at 60 frames. You could try going i7 and SLI 660s, but that’s not worth the money just to play WvW on max settings.

GW2 is a pretty annoying game to try and get stable frames on since it needs such powerful hardware when it really shouldn’t need it.

The latest? I was playing this morning.

I should note that not matter what graphics settings I use my performance remains the same. I’m not even kidding.

Well, despite staying AMD or not, I find it strange that I get that much of a decrease in performance when I get a very nice increase in every other game I play or tested with, including games like TERA and BF3. I guess it is just GW2 not supporting AMD as much or something, but it’s quite annoying to get this performance decrease, and I’d rather not spend yet more money switching to intel and having to wipe my drive yet again.

didn’t get the mail that apparently came to all players.

Just upgraded my PC a little bit and even now the FPS is WORSE than previously!

I am running at some weird custom settings, but the only thin I have maxed is Textures and animations. I used to be able to max near everything, INCLUDING shadows on ultra on my old processor (Athlon II X3 3.3 GHZ) and I could get at least 23 in LA and 40+ in other areas. Now I get 10 in lions arch, and only like 30 maximum in other areas. Is there something I’m missing?

Well, I was running some benchmarks recently and I saw a tiny performance increase, but only by a few frames- maybe it was because of being in Overflow.

Settings are mostly all on high, with shadows on Medium and LOD to Medium.

I’ve been getting ~35 in unpopulated-ish areas and story quests, but when more than like 11 or 12 people show up on screen I drop to maybe 10 or 15. I’ve tried running MSI afterburner with it, and while it says 100% GPU usage, it’s only using 100 or 200MBs of the graphic memory.

I’d like to know why I’m getting such a low rate- I’m pretty past the reqs. though I’m noticing the difference from this and BWE1
