Guild Wars 3 benchmark on GTX 970: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Guild Wars 3 FPS with a GTX 970 and a Intel Core i5-13400

| Low | 40FPS min 36Acceptable | 27FPS min 24Poor | 10FPS min 9Unplayable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 71% | GPU 80% | GPU 93% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
It makes no difference which processor you have: with the GTX 970 in Guild Wars 3 the graphics card is always the brake. Swapping CPU would not gain you a single frame — put the money into the card.
FSR performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Guild Wars 3 at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the GTX 970 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 18 | 23 | 26 |
| 1440p | 12 | 16 | 20 |
| 4K | 5 | 7 | 9 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The GTX 970 has no dedicated hardware for it, so it is an option best left disabled.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
Here the graphics card is the brake: the GTX 970 is what caps the frame rate in Guild Wars 3. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
