I would say low or mid with a lot of settings turned down. High will lag. I tried beta with an old gpu of mine (A GTX 260) and yeah lag with high and also with mid unless settings are turned down. This is on a resolution of 1920x1080 though.

Also I forgot to add that turning the shadows down made a huge increase in performance for me. I have a pretty decent setup as well.

They just released this article. Should give you an idea, along with the minimum specs.

Probably close to medium with the current state of the game.

Expect improvements in the first 3 months, they're still having issues with performance but It's going to be a big focus for patches after release.

I'm still glad they're releasing it :) It'll be a lot more fun to play now and wait for improvements as they come.

also here is some GPU info that came out today:

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/bill-freist-talks-optimization-and-performance/

These people had processors that are much more powerful but results should still correlate


EDIT:: in case it isn't obvious, your GPU (7700 series) is an improvement to the 6700 series. You can peg your results to that bar. Looks like you have one of the better compatible cards. (one of the few series working really well is the 7xxx-series) congrats!

ALSO:: same link as Tab54o :( he posted his while I was writing my first post. :hello:
