hello everyone, I’m a just an average gamer that like MMOs but I understand little how to improve a computer. I really like the game but i have never being able to enjoy it to the fullest. I play at the minimum requirements and i get about 16-31 FPS in the open world and much lower FPS in Lion’s Arch. I gotten used of such low frame rate but I was just wondering if it’s possible to increase it. I saw a video on youtube of one guy discussing about the FPS in GW2 and he said that guild wars performance runs heavily on the CPU. I bought my computer on 2008 and all i have upgraded is the video card and an extra 1 GB Ram memory.

my video card is NVIDIA GeForce 8400GS

CPU is AMD Athlon 64 X2 3600+

i got 3 GB of Ram

There’s a number of different things that you can try to improve your performance in game, though it’s possible the numbers you’re getting are the best your system may be able to handle. I’d recommend checking out this sticky thread first to see if anything there helps you out:
