Guild Wars

Guild Wars (Direct X)


Guild Wars is another quality MMORPG from the makers of City of Heroes, only this one is free!  Well, you have to buy the game, but still…  I have several um, er…friends that are playing this now and it is quite good.  Here are the graphics settings we used:

BFG Technologies GeForce 7900 GT OC Review - Graphics Cards 71

We tested in the opening town where new characters start. 

BFG Technologies GeForce 7900 GT OC Review - Graphics Cards 72

BFG Technologies GeForce 7900 GT OC Review - Graphics Cards 73

BFG Technologies GeForce 7900 GT OC Review - Graphics Cards 74

BFG Technologies GeForce 7900 GT OC Review - Graphics Cards 75

BFG Technologies GeForce 7900 GT OC Review - Graphics Cards 76

ATI’s cards have always had a harder time with Guild Wars than NVIDIA’s and this again proves to be the case here.  Though the performance gap is pretty small, the 7900 GT OC from BFG is definitely the best single card for the job.  SLI configuraitons won’t see much improvement here mainly due to the very high CPU utilization that the Guild Wars engine has.
