Ardid.7203 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I assume you need to tweak the graphic settings for the game. I have a 1060 and with GW2, it behaves very similar to my previous 2008 graphic card... The graphics are just a little better, not that much, and I've never had 60 frames (40-50 is normal for me). AFAIK this is because GW2 is not designed to be GPU focused, so it depends mainly on single CPU core performance, not on multi-threading or GPU usage. If you had a single CPU computer with a big core, its probable GW2 will behave worse when you change to a new computer with a CPU with multiple (but smaller) cores.Take all this with some salt... I'm no expert, I'm just parroting what I have seen on the web. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Revenant.4970 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Your crap is probably overheating and throttling. Make sure your fans are running and have air to circulate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoMaDhOoK.2958 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Go into your nvidia control panel and ensure that Guild Wars 2 is set to use the dedicated card (I have had issues where a windows update resets it for some reason). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goettel.4389 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 It's in the high 40's on my i7 6700 / 1070, it does sound like CPU throttling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VasileGladiatorul.3206 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 check if your battery is plugged in . Some laptops need 20 % plus from battery when playing games ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michiel.3608 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 There's absolutely no way that that setup will run on 4-10 fps... I suggest downloading latest driver and select clean install then follow this link: https://tinyurl.com/ydgkwnj4 to force laptop to use graphics cardI heard sometimes a laptop "forgets" to use the nvidia card , worth a try i guess.

My gaming laptop with an I7 processor can play any other game without running the fans except GW2. This game doesn't run well on multi core processors so get you a cooling pad for your laptop.
