  1. Pardon the generalized title, I just couldn't summarize my question in a sentence. Laptop spec:Intel i3-4010U 1.7GHz, GeForce GT 720M, 4GB DDR3 As one could tell I should definitely run gw2 in nearly lowest possible game settings, and I currently am doing so. HWMonitor states my CPU temperature goes over 80 degrees celsius and GPU temperature exceeding 90 degrees celsius after a non-daily-required Behemoth world boss fight. I want to have my laptop "work lesser" as much as possible to run gw2. I have tried two different settings around these aspects: Unlimited (no cap) FPS, Windowed Borderless, V-Sync Off. Unlimited (no cap) FPS, Fullscreen, V-Sync On. Note: [unbearable screen tearing if FPS capped at 30, V-Sync Off, and on Fullscreen] The first combination gives 5-10 more FPS than the second in a secluded area in Claypool Town. The 'Unlimited FPS' setting are only set for testing purposes and I will ultimately revert it back to capped 30 FPS for daily play (less noisy GPU, less physically-felt heat generated). Now here comes the question: We know the first setting combination gives higher FPS, does it mean that my laptop "works lesser"? Like if i revert back to capped 30 FPS? So far I haven't noticed any significant gameplay differences (lag/stutter, etc) from the two setting combinations, nor have i constantly check with HWMonitor for the temperature readings nor felt the difference in GPU noise, physical laptop temperature, etc - But I want to know, theoretically, does the first setting combination allows my laptop to "work less harder" just purely based on the higher unlimited/not-capped FPS reading? Additionally, I've heard turning V-sync On gives "better performance" and/or smoother gameplay, could someone clarify based on my statements above? Thanks in advance.
