I really like the new icon in the bottom right corner that says your fps and ping etc. but im wondering why my fps seems limited to a max of 62. I run everything on max but even when i turn everything to the lowest possible 62fps is the highest i can ever get.

The in game engine certainly is not limited to 62 fps, that's just a silly statement. The reason you're not going above 62 fps is not you're video card, it's the refresh rate of your monitor. You probably have "Wait for vertical-sync" checked in your graphics options menu in guild wars. This syncs up things so that your in game frame rate does not go above your monitor's refresh rate so everything looks smooth. Of course, you can always turn it off and your fps numbers should increase, but the game may appear slightly more choppy, or it may not. I would tweak things and see what works best for you.

Some games do limit the FPS, so I dont see why his speculation was "just silly"

Off topic, and I know you aren't asking me, but the 7900 GT is a cute card. They're in the low $200 price range.

anyway i will stop hijacking your topic

Not my thread ^_^. It's a good card though, currently what I use. The MSI one is nice because it comes with an overclocking feature that's really simple to use.

I use a 7800gtx. Everything on highest setting and it runs perfect as it can be in most areas.

Anything over 60 is just gravy anyway as the human eye cant process more than 60fps.

Your monitor will only give as many frames as the refresh rate of your monitor, and usually a bit higher. Such as 60Hz refresh giving you 62FPS. 70Hz may give you 72FPS as a maximum.
The "Anything over 60 is just gravy anyway as the human eye cant process more than 60fps." is totally incorrect. What the human eye can process depends on the kind of editing on the video. For example, a TV/Movie usually gives 28FPS, which would seem to stutter in a video game. This is because TV/Movies use motion blur between images. Pause the movie at any given time and everything is blurred. Take a screenshot of a game and it is crystal clear, so generally more FPS is needed for gaming, but that depends on what is comfortable for your eye.

yep turned off vsync getting up to 180fps now

There certainly is no upper limit to the framerate at 62, I get higher numbers quite often in quiet places.
YOu may, however, have Vsync enabled, which would limit the framerate.

I not really concerned about the fps but more about the ping. I have no game here that gives me an average ping of 150+ with my 3mbit connection. Now Guildwars does, it never comes lower then 150+ in big cities, outposts, arena's or another battles and party quests, it does get lower then 50 when solo around. Strange ping, now it really explains why people experience lag durning play, I also must say since factions came out, the only place where you can play almost lagless is tyria, but that must be because everyone plays now Nightfall and Factions.
dronex
not limited ... lol ... you probably have vsync enabled.
you dont need more than 60 anyway ...

As stated earlier, its your screens updaterate thats the limiting factor when you have V-Sync enabled.
To the Question about a graphics card: Im running the game in 1600x1200 with everything maxed at 100 FPS (My screen only has 100 Hz in 1600x1200 and i get tearing without V-Sync)
