If you turn down Reflections and Character Model Limit, you may see some improvement.

 

Also see 43 FPS in LA.

[Achraf Hidouri.8029]

put render sampling to native, frame limiter to unlimited and try

[Varg Vikernes.7582]

ok i try tonight in wvw

[Teratus.2859]

Gw2 is far more CPU intense than GPU like most other games.

 

I have a 4.00Ghz i7-6700K which runs this game extremely well at more or less max settings, less cores but more speed per core than your Ryzen I think.

 

Im not 100% sure on the technical side of things but I think I read a long time ago that Gw2 doesnt utalize more than a set amounf of CPU cores (2-4 I think) and that the game benefits far more from faster CPU's than it does from CPU's with more cores.

In this case my 4,00Ghz I7 which only has 4 cores will run Gw2 better than your 3,4Ghz Ryzen with 8 cores despite the Ryzen being technically a more powerful CPU than my I7.

 

From all the information I can find looking up stuff a common theme that goes back years is that the best thing to have for Gw2 regarding CPU's is high single core performance.

I really don't know much about all this stuff though so hopefully someone better informed can give you better info.

 

From your settings screenshot I noticed you're using Supersampling which I would strongly advise against for general play.

This setting tends to cause far more performance problems than it gives you in any benefits tbh, even though my PC can run it in most situations I keep it on Native just to avoid unnecessary performance loss in combat etc.

I also keep my Antialiasing on SMAA Low to again negate unnecessary performance losses, imo there is very little difference between SMAA low and SMAA high anyway.

Pretty much all my other settings are maxed out except for Character model limit/quality which are set to high instead of highest and ever tickbox except vertical Sync is turned on.

I limit my frames to 60 as well as I see no need what so ever to let the game run higher than that, just a waste of power imo.

[brokenrabbit.6538]

Turn off Show All Player Names. Major CPU drain trying to keep up with people you can't even see.

 

 

[Achraf Hidouri.8029]

i have an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 and intel i-5 9th gen, 8gb ram and i have almost 140 fps when afk, 90-ish when in empty map, 120 fps in LA and 60 fps in crystal oasis

during tequatl i have 80-ish fps and i have a 32" TV set in the game at fullhd (1080p) so maybe change game 3d settings in nvidia geforce experience?

[BRNBRITO.9624]

Yeah, with those graphic settings i'd recommend trying **low/lowest for Character model limit/quality** and **low for Shadows** and see what results you get, sadly no computer can handle those too well on crowded areas, **Native instead of Supersampling** might have some effect as well but i'd leave it for last, and keep reflections for Terrain & Sky only.

 

Performance sounds ok, those 3 first options i mentioned will have the biggest impact by far on performance, and 1700x isn't that great on single-core.

 

For people saying "i get 150 fps on X place" it doesn't really mean much if you don't post your graphic settings, i can go from 180 to 45 FPS at the same place just from changing Char model limit/quality and Shadows, literally only 3 options.

[PORCO.8364]

 

unfortunately the game is horribly poorly optimized and still has a terrible graphics engine, I hope they improve this on the dlc they are planning, otherwise they don't need to bring more content because I will abandon gw2, it's past time to have a better engine, I have a gtx1080ti and don't drink anything because the game is never at 60 fps

[Joe Farmer.2063]

And I always recommend giving d912pxy a try.

[https://github.com/megai2/d912pxy/releases]

2.1.1 is also now stable on my 5700xt, even improved fps on my old rig with an 3770K and a R580.

You 1070 is fine for DX12, so give it a spin.

Be patient though, compiling/caching the shaders when starting GW2 for the first time after install might take some time.

 

[KrHome.1920]

The fps are normal for a Ryzen 1700. This CPU has a poor IPC and GW2 doesn't benefit from its 16 threads.

 

Disable "reflections" and "shadows" to get more CPU performance for almost no visual tradeoff.

 

Don't waste your time with DX912PXY. It messes up your graphics settings and so seems to improve your fps, which itself is technically impossible. You can not get the benefits of DX12 multithreading via a wrapper.

IPC of the 1700 is not THAT bad.

Besides the correct advice regarding reflections etc. I would very much stick with giving dx912pxy a try. It does not help in every occasion, my personal experience is very good though.

Efford of giving it a try is not really high. It either helps or not. Your mileage might be different.

But simply discarding it in general is not a wise advice.

[Varg Vikernes.7582]

bad news,i try to change the option,but the only way i found for have some more dps,is lower not the resolution but the quality of the various options,but is not good.

[Kanok.3027]

People are right when they say the game has a CPU bottleneck rather than GPU and usually in single-core performance. Despite having a high-end Ryzen CPU, you need to overclock it to reach better speeds. it's why people with 5Ghz CPU's run the game far better, but even then, it's not 100%. Models will always dip the game down to lower FPS. You'll never get 60 FPS everywhere and during anything because most MMO's are not built like single-player or multi-player games. They are built very differently and are harder to optimize. You also have to consider this game was made back in, what, 2012? It's coming up on 8 years and it's showing its age.

 

Overclock your CPU if you have a decent fan cooler or AIO/Liquid Cooler and try to get as high as possible while keeping stable. That will definitely help. I'm running a Ryzen 5 2600 at 3.85Ghz and it's pretty fast, but slows down a bit more with Reshade on. If I disable Reshade, I can get 60+ FPS in various areas, but never in meta events or big battles and I don't expect to either.

[Pirogen.9561]

I have:

Resolution: Windowed Fulllscreen

Refresh rate: Default

Frame limiter: 60

...

Animation: Low

Antialiasing: FXAA

Environment: High

LOD Distance: High

Reflections: None

Textures: High

Render Sampling: Native:

Shadows: None

Shaders: High

Postprocessing: None

Character Model Limit: Highest

Character Model Quality: Highest

Ambient Occlusion: On

Best Texture Filtering: On

Depth Blur: Off

Effect LOD: On

High-Res Character Textures: On

Light Adaptation: (is grayed, cant click)

Vertical Sync: Off

Motion Blur Power: at zero

 

I also run Reshade to get more sharp image. LumaSharpen and Clarity filter. I hate "blur".

 

FPS is at 60 everywhere as long as its not big wide open area with big number of players. But even then its above 50 FPS.

 

The biggest impact, for my PC is: Postproccesing and Shadows.

ok tnks,today i try with this option

[MikeyBoy.3570]

I had the same issue and just gave up on it. I then came across a video on optimizing some settings. All I can say is give it a go. I went from barely playable below 60fps, now I'm well over 100 even in the city.

I was very doubtful until I launched a few different games.
