To benchmark GW just create a new character and have FRAPs record your times when the intro scene starts. The intro runs about 90 seconds so you can set that to your FRAPs settings. Record your FPS and post your specs.

Here are mine:

FRAPS cuts your FPS down way too far for the benchmark to be valid.

But if everyone uses FRAPS then it won't really matter now will it?
Anyway, run GW with the command line option -perfs and it will display the fps for you. :happy34:

Strom, you are my hero. I have been asking for that command line for weeks on these forums, and you're the first person to correctly post it. Thank you.

It's already been mentioned in another thread on this Forum as well, as one in the Technical Forum.

yeah cuz your too busy masturbating to GW characters. What a dult.

Hasn't he been banned yet? This is about to turn into another "mine's bigger than yours" thread where people brag about their über rigs with 4 gigs of ram and an fx-55 on them. This doesn't happen a lot in gwonline but other forums are full of it. You should be enjoying your ultimate pc instead of showing off your fps in a forum. Bleh.

Yeah, except that this one doesn't have that uber specs ;)

Perhaps he is showing off that he has 3 computers...

hexiumvii, posts like your last two are not needed, nor were they warranted. You make one more post like either of the last two and you will be banned from these forums. Consider yourself warned and on a short leash.
