General Performance
I start with the base of that every person have their opinion of what is aceptable and what isn't not. Mine is that 30fps is aceptable wich GW2 doesn't do. The data that i have registered is while i did a little journey in a zone with differences. The minimum is obtained in a amply zone without too much people and NPC. The maximum in a house.
With the graphics in ultra: Minimum = 10fps / Max = 28 with a median of 20.
With the graphics in low: Minimum = 21fps / Max = 60 with a median of 36.

We did tests with nVidia 3DVision and we have been surprised. Evidently a 3d profile doesn't exist for GW2 but the performance and depth are surprising. As the version tested was DX9, we haven't tested the performance in DX11.
WvW Performance
The performance in WvW is like a world apart and the FPS disappear. The difference between Ultra and Low is of a few FPS. With the graphics at ultra, with my pc i get a minimum of 4fps and a maximum of 13fps, median of 8. All of this with more than 50 people per band and various NPC's. Changing the fps to low i win like 2-3fps, a insignificant gain.
Meanwhile when you play skirmishes of 15-20 people per band, the game gives more acceptable results like the ones in general performance.
