Hi Fellow Enthusiasts
I have decided to take another stab at Guild Wars 2 over the past couple of months, and found myself loving the changes devs have made and the new end-game content very appealing (at least for now). The problem is in large group events, such as world bosses, or world vs world battles, my FPS drops to almost unplayable levels (average 20s, sometimes go above 30).
Now the game doesn't crash... and I know I can get playable frame rates if I drop all spell effects etc etc. however, I don't really like to settle for 'good enough', and am wondering how I can get playable framerates at higher settings.
I know that I am CPU bottlenecked since I've heard of people getting better frame-rates with a gtx 760 or 7870. however I'm already OCed at 4.5 ghz so I doubt squeezing my CPU more is going to help much. I'm wondering that if I were to upgrade, would I see a significant difference with hyper-threading from an i7 (some people on other forums seem to believe so). otherwise people have said that they got higher FPS on a x79 system with 6-cores, but I haven't seen any indication that the came is actually able to use that many cores... (not to mention the expense).
Anyways, your thoughts please
