Two PvP matches I was able to squeeze in during the one hour stress test. Pure gameplay, pretty simple.

It would depend what resolution you are trying to run, but the 550ti is on the lower end of current geforce cards. Part of the reason Arenanet is sticking with dx9 is they want the game to run well on older hardware. I’ve seen people say they’ve run the game just fine with that card, but I can’t swear you’ll be able to max the settings.
Do you think my PC will fun High setting smoothly? Specs are i5 6gb ram nvidia gtx 550ti 1 gbddr5 superclocked. One of the main reasons im getting this is because of the stunning graphics. It wont be fun if I cant experience them at highest level
I’m running an i5 OC to 3.8Ghz with a GTX580. In the recent tests, there has been a drastic increase in performance as they begin optimizing. I was able to get 60-70+ FPS with all high settings. They current only support dx9, as a lowest common denominator. Though they are looking into dx11 down the road.
For no monthly fee, it’s hard to go wrong. The best way to stay on top of the tests is to check their twitter fairly often. It’s at /guildwars2.
Btw, what are your PC specs? Im curious how graphic demanding this game is.
And thanks for the advice im definitely going to buy it today since prepurchase will also give me a 3 day headstart.
Really good graphics and gameplay. I bought the game, if you know of a stress test coming up, plz post. I missed beta as well.
Thief and Ranger!
They don’t really announce the stress tests far in advance, so can’t say for sure. They’ve got one more weekend before the head-start so it wouldn’t surprise me. I’d say if you are pretty sure you are getting the game, go ahead and get it. At the very least you’ll get the three day head start. Thanks for watching!
Nice gameplay. Im thinking about buying GW2 tonight. Do you know if there will be anymore stress tests before the release? I wasnt able to enter the beta.
