I currently have 2 GTX 470’s, but they are not SLI’d at the moment as I do know, or as far as I know, GW2 doesn’t work well with SLI. With that said, Its getting rather frustrating that I feel the need to stop playing every 5 minutes because my GTX 470 is running at an average speed of 90c! Which.. ok, technically thats ‘ok’, but thats when I am standing still!! Not even a single spell effect going off, not any movement except for 2mobs patrolling in the background..

Makes me rather sad, and just curious if anyone has any tips on what I can do about this, as my options are on “Best Preformance”, everything low, and extra’s turned off to boost preformance, and still.. 90c average!

Edit:: Also, I have the frames limited to 60fps.

SLI works great with the latest beta drivers from Nvidia, go for it.

I’d also make sure you have proper ventilation and that your GPU fans are actually kicking in. MSI Afterburner is a great utility to monitor and even set a custom fan profile.
