Devs say allot of things
So far they hold true to all their statements so im sure it'll be fine. I do agree however that a game should ideally look BAD when on low settings and great on high settings to make sure it runs smooth for everyone.
OT: this looks amazing. Hope i can get into beta to see if i can run this game on my current 5 y/o PC, coz if i can't i need to get a new killer PC :P
Engine looks cool. Also settings changing on the fly is very good thing. Not that I'n concerned about reloading game, but if you can tweak it right in the center of battle it is always nice to have =)
The only thing that limits graphics in beta is things being cut out, which makes the graphics worse (and look better in release) OR the debugging client that runs in the background which could possibly take up to 20% performance.
You can't just magically make things run better and keep using beta as an excuse, it's not that simple.

The most important thing to realize is, no matter what you experience you are never alone; no matter what you are struggling through, there is always someone who is more unfortunate.

Don't hate my rig, there's nothing quite like the classics.
Well, it is known that GW2 doesn't "like" ATI cards. For example gtx460 is enough for highest settings (except WvWvW ;p). Before this beta it didn't even like AMD processors - so it's a progress ;]. Being a developer myself I know there is A LOT of ways to make the app run faster, problem is to make it run equally on wide range of hardware. Seeing as they are solving issues with every new build I'm confident that final product will be made of quality.
As for HD textures, it's hard to tell. We should wait till the next beta event, if they are not included in the game by then - speculations can proceed.
ive got a 6950 2gb, can i run full graphics or should i buy another one and CF? what's your guess?
