ArenaNet is fussy about names.

Maximum Guild Wars

I’ve been delighted with the performance of Guild Wars on my new rig. I expected it would be appreciably faster and look much better at the maximum settings but upon experiencing it first-hand I’ve been blown away. I’m still trying to optimise my system and there are some oddities I haven’t figured out yet but in-game imagery like this does put a smile on my face.

Here are some Guild Wars screenshots taken at 1680×1050. (Click on the thumbnails to see the originals.)
