And so he was never heard from again. Guess I'm going with intel.

Here are some other options if you guys prefer. https://prnt.sc/q82bcq https://prnt.sc/q82bgj

@Moradorin.6217 Not a fan of PP bandaids, my self.

lol ok

OK, I can't wait to see how it compares to an Intel CPU! I had a 4770 at one point, too. I remember it used to struggle with the old lions arch, especially winters day. SO many people in one location.

@Taniniver BlindDragon.9503 Yeah, it might. But I really like the way it looks. Everything is so much more visible and it REALLY helps me when I'm driving mounts a whole lot, too. But boy does it hammer on the CPU. I remember before 9th gen came out someone had an 8700K and they were getting at least 5 - 10 more FPS than me when we were in Vabbi hunting bounties in the squad. (No fights taking place) and I thought that was pretty cool. 6700 and 7700 really had not much difference between them. The ram upgrade was more impactful than spending $275 for a 7700K but at least my sister got to have my 6700 instead of getting something cheap.

@TinkTinkPOOF.9201The camera angle I chose was for viewing as much regular world content but not enough to hinder the FPS that you wouldn't see much difference due to possible bottlenecking of the thread. Putting it in a heavy situation where it only makes 1 fps difference from a 7700K wouldn't tell me anything, would it? When I upgraded from 2133MHz of 8GB of ram I went from a max of 40 FPS to 50 and some. Worth the $125 for me. I was able to enjoy a lot of stories as I played it again even more than last time. I already know the 9900K or even KS is the best weather or not it's worth putting money down for, but still doesn't cover for any of AMDs 3rd gen that is up close to the i9s. As someone spends every day watching techtuber videos who is always waiting for benchmarks and embargo lifts on information and CPU comparisons, you can keep trying to tell me things I already know, or be relevant to my personal preference of just making story quests less laggy and more immersive during recording/not recording. One thing that is certainly nibbling me is that AMDs leading CPUs might be fast enough that it wouldn't matter in GW2 (compared to games that will utilize threads and cores a lot better) and I can even benefit off of more lanes for an M.2 drive that takes recordings, one that reads games and an HDD that holds a lot of important things. A card reading drive for my Camera/Phone's SD cards and an Asus BluRay drive because of anime, music and game emulation. Other things included are probably an Elgato/other external recording devices (I have VHS tapes that need to be turned into digital) and a Creative SoundBlaster AE-9 Sound Card. If not, and the 9900K/KS or other future incoming i7/i9 is still in the league of gaming far enough that I wouldn't want to go with AMD, then I'll be fine with Intel. So if anyone has one, I'd be really thankful to see its worth in Guild Wars 2.

I'd dispute that assertion about it being as effective as having players around, since my FPS doesn't drop below 60 FPS in the scenario you proposed, even with the character limits on on maximum - it just isn't taxing enough for my CPU in that location. Anyway - I said I'd do the benchmarks you asked for (even though I question their value) so here they are: CPU: i9 9900KGPU: GTX 1080 TiRAM: DDR4 64GB 4x16GB 3200MHz 16-18-18-36.FPS Low: 87 - 88FPS High: 153 - 155 Thanks. Just to be certain, that's with the FOV slider all the way to the right? If so, then that's well worth the price for a 9900K and 16GB extra ram for someone like me who just wants more FPS in a story instance (I could care less about what FPS I get in boss fights, I know it is going to be low but it is still fun).

I am well aware of everything I am being told her. Please don't waste your breath. The scenario I have made is just as effective as having players around. Take, for example, Sun's Refuge. There are no players yet it becomes pretty laggy once it's filled with lots of NPC characters. Outside variables will only give variables. The better I know that I can improve in instance/story locations, the more I will feel comfortably immersed and capable of recording without stutters due to high character count and other things. Lets put it like this. My 7700K and 3200MHz of 16Gb of RAM get 45 - 50 FPS in a specific location. If someone has a 9900KS or a 3900X with 3600MHz of 32GB of RAM that gets 60 - 65 FPS or even 55 - 60 FPS then I would be down to pay for that.

Not to be rude, but I didn't ask for a basic rundown of everything I already know. Its because no one benchmarks it with a single camera angle comparison of what the CPU is working is why I want to see how other CPUs perform in the same exact scenario and whether or not they're worth forking up the money for. As for being CPU heavy, yeah, not in the literal sense. But single core/thread speed intensity (because of it obviously being a game). CPU/RAM matters the most here so I'll just take that information at the very least.

So, in short, I've been constantly getting nagged at both sides from intel fanboys and AMD fanboys about the pros and cons of their CPU lineups. I would obviously take the option that makes playing Guild Wars 2 better. I've asked for people to make comparisons but no one put anything on the table. They just continued to ramble on. No one ever benchmarks this game and its honestly got the heavy potential to be used as a CPU tester since its pretty heavy for it and not in a bad way. So I want to see what pushes this game within the Ryzen 2xxx, 3xxx, Intel i7 8th gen, i7 9th gen, and i9 9th gen CPUs. Feel free to share whatever CPU and RAM setup even if I'm not looking for it. exampleCPU: i7 7700KGPU: RTX 2060RAM: DDR4 16GB 2x8GB 3200MHz 14-14-14-31.FPS Low: 47 - 51FPS High: 150 - 155 Just a still image of standing in front of the door when you enter the home instance of Divinity's Reach (use a key to reverse the camera ((not the character)) to load the zone behind you in with the home) while zoomed-in first person will do since there is no real benchmark mechanic for the game that doesn't involve other players. Here is how I set up the lowest settings.https://prnt.sc/q5n6fzhttps://prnt.sc/q5n6o3https://prnt.sc/q5n6svhttps://prnt.sc/q5n6zbhttps://prnt.sc/q5n7pxhttps://prnt.sc/q5n7zy And for the highest settings, I obviously did the exact opposite of every thing (except for changing the position of the camera, of course, just the collision, FOV, and everything camera shake and nameplate related).

If it was a guild, they probably have their own webpage. Doing it alone isn't too hard, though. More people just scales, anyway.
