im very impressed, my fps just doubled
They improved the fps, at least for me.
Now at 1920x1080(low) i can get 30~70 all the time.
I don't know why, but my fps is higher in sPvP than when i'm alone in the woods killing stuff.
Game still running like crap, FPS wise. Something that a stress test wouldn't affect mind you. Wishful thinkers always say "oh it's just beta", but release never changes that much from beta.
Ran smoothly, as usual capped at 120fps, no drops, no stutters, everything on max @ 1080p.
they have balanced cpu - gpu a bit. last stress test my GPUs were running at 100%, now they were at like 90% ish, but cpu had came up from like 40-50% to 70-80% for me
For you maybe, it's running extremely smooth here. If I disable vsync, it hits 120 in areas without any players/less players and in areas with multiple players and all the spell effects going off, the lowest I encountered was around 50-55. Running at 2560x1440 everything Ultra except Shadows at High and Rendering at Normal instead of Supersample.
It's over nooooooooooo *sadface*. Everything ran amazingly though, and only had a bit of lag at some point.
arrived late :C! 1 hour is not long enough :'c!
OMG.... I had never tried WvW before.... holy ballz that's awesome. But I am going to HAVE to get a new Vidcard if I want to do it extensively. I know 1 fps is probably just the stress test, but I know my machine and I know that I probably won't get much better than that after launch. Plus, I need a new vid card anyway (using a GT 9600 atm).
This last stress test did decide it for me, I'll be rollin' a Norn Warrior. Bow/dual axes for me.

If only every hour went by that fast until release.
Framerate improved slightly, maybe by 2 or 3.
