— , 1 min read

In this video, PC Gamer shows off the effects of the different graphics settings in Guild Wars 2. Watch the video after the jump! There are some interesting things to note:

  • The transition between all of the settings is seamless. No loading screens, no frozen screens.
  • High resolution character textures were not part of this beta client.
  • Depth of field was not included in this beta client.

In regards to the client performance, keep in mind that the game is still in beta and optimization is always the last thing in software development.

In case you were wondering about the system specifications: CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T, 3.6GHz six-core MOBO: ASUS Crosshair IV Formula RAM: 8 GB GPU: Radeon HD 6970 2GB
