As Pyre said dxdiag is best for looking up specs, especially as it's the diagnosis tool for DirectX

most of gw2 looks comes from aesthetics and clever use of various techniques (umbra being one of them), not to mention great artists to start with. Originally Posted by Kickbuttmario

I have bad and good news.
Good:
the game works really great on nvidia and intel (guys with gtx460 could max everything)
Bad:
for some reason it does not like Ati and AMD (Radeon HD 6870 barely runs in on medium if at all)
Fortunately, they still have some time to optimize, personally I'm not worried - sitting on gtx560Ti so I'm just chillin' ;]

Is GW2 a demanding game? Wondering if my rig can run it on Ultra @ 120 FPS or I'll have to cap it at 60.
Playing since 2007.

2012-02-20, 06:45 PM #156DeletedSame here, I'm an intel fanboy since their 386 processor which run on super high frequency of 16MHz - it was a lot back then =]. God.. suddenly.. I feel so old :/ Originally Posted by Mif

Don't worry, I remember when cpu "turbo" was a button on the case Originally Posted by Creepjack

As for the topic at hand, I wouldn't worry, they really ARE good with optimizing, I'm sure GW2 will run fluently on both amd and intel systems.

Wow that's a blast from the past. I was taught not to touch that button. Being the goody shoes boy, I've never pushed it before.... Originally Posted by Mif

Nice to hear that my setup will be fine too, sitting at a 460GT 1GB, 6GB ram and an i5 2400.
Arenanet can take my money!
