I have to run the game at half resolution (1280x720, 1920x1080 normally), and around mid settings, but i still get pretty low fps especially in the maps included in the new expansion that just came out. I know Guild Wars 2 is pretty hard on the CPU, but i seem to have a decent one.

Here are my specs :

Operating system : Windows 8.1
CPU : Intel i5-4440
RAM : 8 GB
GPU : Nvidia Geforce GTX 645
Hard Drive : 450GB (I usually have around 130GB free space, i don't know if that matters)

As far as i know i should be able to run it pretty well. Is there any components in my computer that are too weak for the game? Thanks in advance.
