Guild Wars 2 Computer & Performance thread.

Just to clarify (for everyone):

No one can tell how well you can run the game. Nobody know what specs are required for good / high / ultra / best / max / super graphics. All we (well, they, the ones who are actually knowledgeable) can really tell is whether or not your computer passes the minimum specs. Everything else will have to wait until ArenaNet announces the recommended settings.

You're a noble toaster.
I look forward to the day when we draw steel together and venture into the great yonder to see by what fate fortune will dare to challenge us.

As addition, some footage from Beta tests (GW2 Insiders one come to mind) have info about comp spec on which footage was recorded. So that can give soem rough idea how your system could perfom IN BETA of game. In relase version it might be differnt depending how good optimalisation is in beta.

Its looks like this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBaZyEUSwx0 at end of video you have comp spec. But no info about game settings (as far as I know beta is limited to High settings as maximum anyway

There will be some in the community who may have a reasonably good idea on what specs may be required for certain settings - or, perhaps, better to say, they will have first hand experience on how the client ran on a particular set of hardware - but are unable to let others know at this point due to the NDA they're under - which effectively means you're spot on the money, Jigain

Folks, to put things into a different perspective - in the next couple of weeks, there will be plenty of players participating in a BWE with all sorts of hardware. Once that weekend is over, I am sure many will be able to comment first hand on how the client ran on their machine, and also will be able to specify exactly what that hardware is. In the meantime, the wisest advice I could give you is to hold onto your cash, and make no upgrades now - prices on computer components almost always come down, and if you wait, analyse the performance and specs of those in the BWE, you can then make informed decisions about what needs upgrading in your rig, if anything.

You will be almost guaranteed to have a minimum of 4, and likely several more weeks after the first BWE in which to analyse, and decide, and purchase any upgrades you're planning on

amd x6 1090t 3.3ghz
8gb gskill dd3ram 1600mhz
oz agility ssd
ati radeon 6950

can i run with this on max settings?

There's nothing wrong with your 6950 and the 8gb ram, although i dont have any experience with the 1090t, so i can't assure you if you're able to play it on max settings but high settings shouldnt be a problem.

Will this run it on Really good settings?
Quad phenom 955 clocked at 3.6ghz
560 ti
ddr3 8gb ram

I assume "really good settings" is between high and ultra, then you don't have a thing to worry about for sure.

I would recommend a better video card

[GG4Eva]

I did the link and it says I can run it but I just want to know what settings do you think it can run on.

Intel Core i7 Q840 1.87GHz (8 CPUs) ~1.9GHz
6GB Memory (1x 2GB, 1x 4GB DDR3)
Dual 1024 MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 with ATI CrossFireX
640GB Raid 0 (2x 320GB 7,200RPM HDDs)

Also my laptop has a turbo mode but I don't really know if it's automatic or manual. Never really touched it O_o (3.20GHz Turbo Mode, 8M Cache)

AMD Phenom 965 II X4 BE Edition overclocked to 3.7ghz

How will I do with GW2?

For the last time, all we know is the minimum requirments, and so do you, stop asking for anything else until we know more.

Yeah, seems like a whole lot of absolutely pointless speculation until we get recommended requirements and the game is optimized.

Although, I'd expect we'll know a hell of a lot more soon when the BWE (Beta Weekend Event) starts. I know I'll be there

[p1wookie]

I'm pretty sure mine won't have any issues.

Windows 7 64-Bit

That thing dying is a bad thing?

Never liked charr anyways. If the engine is anything like the 1st guild wars it wont take a whole lot to play. (and still look good)

So:


Windows 64
4Gigs of ram
AMD Phenom II x6 1055T at 2.8GHz
And a HD Radeon 6900 series as a graphics card.
I run with two monitors (Using one for the game) and the resolution I use for most games is 1680x1050, Windowed (Fullscreen) if possible.
Sorry if this doesn't sound very good! :P


Would I be able to run the game decently, or just at low settings? Since we only know the minimum specs, wondering if anyone can do a speculation.

[Gorllin]

I'm probably going to be laughed at, but here they are:
Operating System:Windows XP Professional(5.1, Build 2600)
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium (R) Dual CPU E2200 @2.20GHz (2CPUs)
DirectX: 9
Graphics: Radeon HD 3450
RAM: 3 GB

I know, terrible. I might get a new graphics card this week. Any idea how bad this'll look on my computer?
Edit: Also, any idea on how I can improve my computer?
Thanks for any help.
