Thats actually a lot of overkill to make it look nice, so yeah it should.

That is if your computer is anything less than 2 years old; a graphics card doesn't automatically make games look nice, your ram, cpu, and screen also matter a lot.

Yeah whats the other specs of your computer?

That graphics card should do just fine, for Guild Wars, though.

You will like how GW looks with that card. Make sure you download the latest Catalyst Control Center and drivers, currently 8.12. The current version includes a slider bar that lets you regulate the fan speed which regulates the card temperature. The fan speed on the CD has a default speed of around 27% and the GPU will be a little hot. The default on the latest software is 50% which is the highest it will run quietly. That should be good enough.

That card should run gws with no problems, but more information would be helpful.

But a 3650 will probably not be good enough to run newer games (unless the only game u play is gws).

So information on your cpu, ram, motherboard and PSU would be nice.

you can get really good deals on the new 4670 now which is a more powerful card than the 3650 by a decent bit. How much do you want to spend??? You can get a 4670 for sale under $70 now.
