Modern PC - FPS drops
Nicodemus.1486 replied to Maria Murtor.7253's topic in Account & Technical Support
the game is very old and very CPU bound. drops among large groups of players are common. try setting your Character Model settings to no higher than medium. turn Reflections to Off or Terrain/Sky. Shadows to Medium can also help. beyond that, it could be GW2 in relation to your new GPU. some bugs have been noted by others with this combo. they'll most likely get worked out over time. you can try using d9vk to help with that. -

try d9vk. i've heard good reports from other 5700 users, and it works great for me on Linux. runs better than on windows. -
thanks for the replies! ok, then i'm looking at an RX 5700. i think that should be able to handle it comfortably, yes? or do you think the XT is necessary? note i'll be playing with D9VK, so translating dx9 to vulkan. that should avoid the low FPS some ppl are seeing with default GW2 and Navi.

what's a recommended AMD GPU for running the game comfortably at 4k? 5700XT, 5700, Vega, 590? do i really need to buy the best of the best, or is there a lower model that will do the job happily while hitting the CPU wall? thanks!

just wanted to report on mesa with ACO: i started using the mesa-aco-git from the AUR, and i've found my GW2 experience to be significantly smoother. shader rendering interruptions are almost nonexistent now, and when they do happen it's a very minor disruption. i don't usually install stuff that's still in testing and devel, but it was worth it for this.

I'm experiencing the same issue on one of my machines. Endeavour OSKernel 5.2.3-arch1-1-ARCHKDE Plasma 5.16.3i5-4690kAMD RX 5708 GB RAM If I can somehow manage to kill the launcher, I can regain control of my machine. Otherwise, I need to hard reboot. It doesn't freeze up all the time, but maybe every third time or so. I'm NOT experiencing the issue at all on my other machine. AntefreeKernel 5.2.3-arch1-1-ARCHKDE Plasma 5.16.3R5 1600XAMD Vega 5616 GB RAM it works perfectly on this machine with no issues.
