Long load times with Asus EAH4870
Hi
I have been running a 7600GT for some time now - only play GW with no issues at all. I decided that it was time to upgrade my video card and went for Asus EAH4870 new card all singing all dancing. Now I have a Asus SLI motherboard but was never using the SLI and was advised that this card - even tho it was a crossfire would be absolutly fine as I was not using the dual card options. Now the problem... up to 45 second loads times when zoneing or going thru a portal. 7600GT about 3 second load times. I have tried updating the driver for the ATi card but it made no difference. All ths Nvidia Graphics drivers were removed. Any ideas? Motherboard is a Asus P5n32-e SLI 7600GT is a MSI card Running raid on the HD with a DX2 66 processor Thanks

Unless the HDs are not physically thrashing, reset the graphic options in the game and/or use the Auto Detect. The only time I encountered a similar problem was when I used the wrong combination of graphic settings in the game vs. graphic card's own 3D settings. (I also played around with the sound settings too.) You did not say whether this problem happens in windowed mode or full screen mode. For me, the problem only happened in Full screen mode. To eliminate any chance this problem is related to steaming updates, create a copy of the GW shortcut and add the -image switch to the end of the it. This will download all the streaming updates at one time. See http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Command_line Last edited by davehall; Apr 02, 2009 at 06:42 AM // 06:42.. |

Your video card should not affect your load times... your ISP, your HD, and the status of your gw.dat file will affect that.
Run the "-image" command line (as shown in the link above) and see what happens there. |
