Any link where i could path my ati drivers?

driver(you should install this then install the latest caps even on single card systems)

Radeon Pro to create profiles and apply smaa(better then fxaa) the game cant use normal AA because it uses deferred lighting.

A note on SMAA, unlike the games built in FXAA smaa has no perf hit and dosnt cause blurring.

DownSampling Guide for AMD/ATI users
http://forums.guru3d...ad.php?t=366244
this lets you run the game at higher res then your monitor supports(like supersample AA) it also helps with FOV issues, I run the game at 2560x1440 on my 1920x1080 monitor its much better then default stock res.

good stuff for AMD/ATI users, specially the current radeon pro preview version with smaa...makes the game rock even more

I've got a 2500k @ 4Ghz with a xfire HD6950.
With everything max except shadows(medium), reflections (terrain and sky) and post processing on low (this is more for the fact I don't really like the glow high gives) I've dropped down to about 25fps in big zergs on the gates. Far from unplayable.


**EDIT**

Getting the 2500K to 4Ghz is easy and it can handle 4.5Ghz on air really well.
It makes a massive difference in WvW clocking this little beauty

i5 2500k @ 4.4 GHz
16GB 2133 MHz ram
Sapphire 6970 @950/1425
1080p monitor rez
150/180 FPS just hanging out
80/120 FPS doing stuff
30/45 FPS WvW with big zergs

I have i5 2500I. Stock clocks, but have a GTX 580 soc edition, I get 60 fps,  all gfx turned on highest,  lowest I see my fps drop to is 55, but very rare

Pic or it didn't happen

I call BS on this one. Don't mean to be a douche but you are not getting 60 FPS with rare drops to 55 with a single GTX 580 especially with your CPU on stock clocks at 1080p. You certainly are not getting these kind of frames with everything set to the highest unless you are starring at the ground or in an enclosed area. Go take a walk around Diessa Plateau with "everything" maxed including supersampling on. You will be lucky to hit 40-50 FPS. Im running a i7 2600k with HT off oc'd to 4.5 and two GTX 580 SC in SLI at 1080p and in some spots of the game will drop to low to mid 50's, even worse in WvW.

That is all. That is my rant for the evening

at the time of writing my 1st post in this thread i had played WvW for 30 mins or so, didnt see my frames drop to less than 55, i am still yet to play anymore WvW, running round Diessa Plateau as you said SS on 10 mins run i get 40fps lowest, SS native i get 48 lowest. i know i will get more fps drop in WvW when i decide to go there, but at the time i wrote my first posts in here thats what i was getting.
In LA it can drop to 30 fps running round by all the crafters, and hover at 40-45. im dredding the fps drop in WvW.
