Who played last beta lag free

Lord.Bachus

Who played totally lagfree even in mass events wth 50 to 100 players on your screen.

Please post your system specs if you where totally lagfree. (40+ fps in mass events)
It will help those people currently considering to buy a new GW2 ready pc.
And yes i know the client was less optimised, but if you can do it now, you certainly can if the client gets optimised

I had a very smooth experience, and the only lag I had was server-side, for a few spikes.

i7 970

560 Ti

12 GB 1666 RAM

Gigabyte G1 Mobo

But, like you said, I am pretty sure that after optimization, the game will run fine in less powerful PCs without too many problems.

I am thinking of getting a new one as well, even though i have a pretty good computer, but two of my friends said that it ran smooth on their overclocked CPUs, i am not sure about the exact stats. I suggest waiting till they optimize it, and evaluate with your current setup then make a decision. Btw 40+ fps in mass events sounds awesome! I would love to hear if anyone experienced that.

i play in WvW (around 30-40 players i think) and sPvP and PvE and was everythin smooth except some parts on LA.

i have an i3 2120 + hd6850 + 4GB DDR3 (dont need more than 4GB for game)

i play with everything maxed

as you can see is a very cheap combo and wrk great with GW2 even not optimized for GPU use

smoothest stress test I've been a part of only I had was one DC and I can't be entirely sure that wasn't my connection, my router pooped out  like 3 days later.

Ice-Queen

Myself and my husband and one of his friends from work had 0 lag throughout our entire Beta weekend, and no crashes. We both have very nice rigs. My mother who has a farely decent but not top of the line computer ran it flawlessly too.

I had 1 lag spike that was server side, that was is.

My FPS was a bit low due to the not-yet-optimized for gfx cards and multicore. (only 30-40 at medium settings)

Phenom 2 x4 4.0ghz

Agility SSD

8gb Kingston HyperX mem

And I have heard the last beta was better optimized for nvidia cards anyways.

I ran around with a fairly large group for the last hour or 2 of BWE killing those thunder chickens and the game ran smoothe. Only a few server side lag spikes.  Same goes for the testing day.

During normal playing and DE my FPS was between 40-50. I played some PVP and didn't take note of fps..I was playing and i didn't  care about it! Also, at times when I was playing outside of PvP I was using MSI Afterburner to record some video and my fps would drop down in between 30-40 fps.

Reserving a slot for lag-free play, but will have to get home for full system specs.

Game ran like shit. This game is far from optimized. While it may run good on some machines, it doesn't on others, so Anet still has a lot of work to do.

biogerm

what my sig says...

 

edit: btw... they keep saying that the game is not yet optimzed for sli.. but when playing i had both my 560 at 67% all of the time. 

 

got to say... best utilize of sli ive seen in a long time.

Lagfree is a big word. I did experience some lag in WvW when the central castle was under attack from multiple sides and the action of the whole map was taking place there. But this was probably server lag because I didn't see a drop in fps nor experienced any movement lag / glitches only sometimes suddenly a group of fiends was there that I didn't see approaching while monitoring surroundings.

My machine specs:

Asus P8Z68 V-pro rev.2 (mobo)

Intel Core I7 2600K (cpu)

Asus EAH6970 DCII/2DI4S/2GD5 (GPU)

2x4 GB DDR3 Corsair Vengeance C8 (mem)

Intel X25-M 80Gb SSD

Win 7 Home Premium x64

 

All running on stockspeed, I undo my OC's before playing a beta with a non-optimized client.

 

BigHatLogan

I played the first BETA weekend lag free as a north american player on a European server.  I had one lag spike since they updated the servers on the saturday.  I had slight slowdown in WvWvW when the big zergs fought but it wasn't a real problem as i was still able to do what i wanted, i attributed this to graphical slow down.  I have an Alienware PC with 2 295 GTX cards. 

warchant

My laptop played smoothly on Medium settings ("balanced" in menu). I never had any distracting hitching or slow down.

This is with the GPU being unused. I'm not worried about the performance. Only people that don't do any research to discover that the engine isn't using the GPU nor has it been optimized, are freaking out.

i had a few server side probs also. but ran smooth through all events except 1. (my server side prob)

next test will be on my new laptop though

Might be driver issues, did you try changing drivers?

You're saying lagfree is 40+ fps. This doesn't really make sense to me because lag is the delay in communication between your computer and the server, and doesn't have that much to do with the amount of frames per second your graphics card can churn out.

Either way, I was playing pretty much completely lagfree during the whole beta so far. I may have had like 500 ms lag for a couple of minutes, but considering I played for like 60 hours total, that's rather negligible.

As for the fps, I didn't actually keep track of it, but I had a pretty smooth experience, so I guess it didn't drop below 25 at any point. I do know I had about 40 fps in the big cities, because that's the only time I bothered checking. I had several graphics settings very high, like shaders, shadows and textures, but set all the others to minimum (they didn't really seem to do much anyways).

I was playing on my Asus laptop with an i5, 4GB RAM and a Nvidia Geforce GT 540M (2GB).

No lag issues (or any other technical issues) for BWE or stress test

 

i5 2500K

HIS Radeon 6950 HD 2GB

16 GB DDR3 RAM

 

My wife's laptop had issues displaying the game properly but I found out (after stress test) that the stupid switchable graphics was set to integrated, not the good card.  I will test that next BWE.

 

Edit:  BTW I have 1.5 Mbs DSL (way lame, I know) and the game ran smoothly even with others using the same modem.

This. I wish people would stop to call pretty much everything "lag". It's completely misleading.

Thats network lag, which is not really the case in GW2, a huge decline in framerate is often called graphical lag, cause by either you graphics card not keeping up, your procesoor maxing out or your background loading being to slow.

While I did enjoy a lag free BWE and lag free stress test, I cannot help but find it funny that you ask for people to post if they were lag free, then talk about FPS....

Lag and low FPS are not the same thing

he want to know about fps but he instead say lag, but he can correct me if i wrong

. about lag i was absolutely free on stress test, on BW i have some serious lag in begining but they correct that.
