d912pxy VS GW2-SCT

I'm surprised nobody covered p.2. JUST USE d912pxy. Period. The game is unplayable without it. BTW running it on Linux has the same effect as it translates DirectX calls to Vulkan calls and precompiles shaders. As much as I appreciate and respect ArenaNet will to fix performance introducing Dx11 hardly improved anything. There is still long way to go.

I think the 5900 is holding you back. I have 5800x3d and in dragons end FPS stays over 60 most of the time. I also use dx12 API proxy: https://github.com/megai2/d912pxy

Also idk if it's still relevant but I had a massive fps improvement in GW2 by using a proxy dll dx12 proxy

You could try using the dx12 addon to maybe squeeze out a bit more fps then dx11 gives. Otherwise gw2 is really a lost cause when it comes to trying to get a decent frame rate.

If none of that is enough try out the DX12 addon.

It still looks good. Use d912pxy to turn it into dx 12 to get better performance then ad shade over the top and it looks lovely.

However, while it's an indirect solution, there's a "Scrolling Combat Text" (SCT) addon to the popular Arcdps damage meter. I have not tested it for a while. But if it still works, it displays damage info next to your character instead of above the ennemy, and it's reasonably customizable (color, size, font).

Try this pre-release of SCT instead if you aren't already: https://github.com/Artenuvielle/GW2-SCT/releases/tag/2.0-RC3 The current stable version was just crashing my game.

Dx11 support is currently only experimental in the newest pre-release build (2.0 RC2). Check it out at https://github.com/Artenuvielle/GW2-SCT/releases

next up injector plugins. the two most common ones are probably d912pxy, which translates dx9 calls to dx12 and can improve your performance, and arcdps, which as the name suggests is primarily a DPS meter, but also comes with its own addon API for stuff like scrolling combat text, killproof.me, or BuildPad.
