So, lately I've been playing WvW with a friend, and when it comes to a zerg, my computer just stops try to render the game and the FPS drops even reach to 0. I know it's a common problem, but hear me out.
The same friend of mine has a nVidia GTX 1650, an old GPU. I run on a AMD RX 6650 XT. When it comes to WvW, he sais he doesn't suffer from freezes or FPS drop. He also runs on a i5 (don't know the model).
I've been thinking on upgrading my setup, specially the CPU (I have a Ryzen 5 3600), and, as far as I know, GW2 tends to need better single-core performance (even with the engine upgrade). I've been also thinking on selling this GPU and buy a better AMD GPU.
Worth mentioning: I have 16GB of RAM and a SSD, where the game (among other stuff) is installed.
And this is not only on WvW. Sometimes, on Lion's Arch, the FPS drop happens too.
