GW2 Performance

[supersonic977]

hello guys, i played GW2 beta event last week I played it with maximum graphics settings getting 45 avg fps at the town 55+ fps out side the town <40 down to 25 in big fights is that normal?
My specs are
Intel core I5 3570K
sapphire HD 7950 @900 MHz
4 GB DDR3 dual channel ram @1333 MHz when playing the game does not exceed the 3 GB
Windows 7 64 bit ultimate
I am playing all the latest games like "skyrim, BF3, Maxpayne3" on the highest possible settings with fps 50+ and those game grarphics are far better than GW2 so what do u think guys is it normal or the game is badly optimized or what?

You want to overclock your CPU, GW2 is more dependent on CPU than GPU!

My CPU is running at 3.4 - 3.8 Ghz and while playing it never reached over 60% of my CPU usage

Try overclocking and then see the performance increase.

not to nitpick but it IS a BETA. drivers probably aren't optimized yet, and the game isn't even finished. they could still be doing final cleanup on code. I wouldn't worry about it till it comes out, beta performance is always worse than the released game

I can't test it now as the beta is now finished.
I heard it runs at 70+ on much lower specs than mine is that true?

Game isn't optimized yet, not sure which beta you played, but i heard the first Open Beta weekend only ran on 1 core...

You should wait till the final game comes out, and then see if u need to change anything
