Hi. I was wondering what setting would best suit Guildwars for my PC. My Specs are:

-Intel Pentium 4 Processor
-3.00 GHz
-Windows XP Home Edition (S.P 2)
-512mb of RAM
-Nvidia FX5200 with 128Mb RAM
-1024 x 768 Monitor (75Hz)
-DirectX 9.0c
-Fully Updated Computer (Graphics Drivers etc)

Help would be greatly appreciated.

well the top 5 specs there are similar to mine, not sure on monitor, directx, or drivers...

i can run it fine on all high but when i get to crowded places like ascalon d1 i lag a bit upon arrival.

im currently running on all low.. i dont lag at all unless im playing cs at the same time..

the differences arent that drastic on GW quality-wise, as apposed to games that are graffic-based like battlefield 2.

ur computer can run all of the settings pretty much, i'd suggest just playing a bit with all of them and choose what you prefer... bad graffics with no lag, or top notch graffics with the occasional lag spike.

So If i Only run Guildwars I should b able to play on all high settings...?

yea probably, im just speaking out of my personal experiences with a computer similar to yours.

i repeat:

Ok. Thanks Vey Much.

I can see what they mean when Guild wars players say the Community/ Support is top notch.

I'm using 1280x1024 with ALL settings on high, and the game is simply gorgeous.

However, I have a 1.5 Mbps connection and a SLI system...

I would say 1024x768 at the performance slider in the middle or 75% mark with AA turned on.

I have a system really close (1gb ram, 5700Ultra and AMD althon 64 3400+) and can almost run at everything at max at 1024x768.

Even when i play on my god-like desktop i still turn the graphics down just to make sure of no lag.
