[Build Complete] New GW2 rig - skip to post #9 for specs

Discussion in 'Tech Talk' started by Prime, Apr 17, 2012.

  1. Now that the game's out, how's it running? What kind of FPS do you get in large mobs (events with many people & WvW big mobs etc), with what settings?

    Only ask because I'm looking at an upgrade myself. ;)

    Edit: i5+GTX560Ti = 1920x1080 on high settings no problem.

  2. Sorry man, I missed your post. I can run everything on max just fine, over 60fps constantly. In WvW though, I does drop damatically, to between 20-30 fps - we're talking zergfests here. I've tweaked some settings down (see screenshot) and am very happy with the results. I wen't into WvW just now, though because of the time, there weren't any large groups roaming around, this was the best I could do. I'll get more screens tomorrow.

    On a side note, I've overclocked to 4.2Ghz, no gpu overclock. I'm really doubting you will get THAT big of an increase from your 560Ti to an HD 7850. If anything, if I were in your shoes, I'd buy a second 560Ti and SLI it. That, or jump to an HD 7905 or above, or the new GTX 660 and above.

    Edit: Found a nice sized group in Eternal. Link.

    Edit 2: Found an even larger group. Link.
