Cragga the Eighty Third.60 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Just wondering if anyone has tried running GW2 on a chromebook or chromebox running Windows. (Still considering various options for when the Mac version dies.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawdler.8521 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Well, an HD400 GPU in chromebook has 115 gflops of fp32 performance. In comparison an RTX3080 has 29770 gflops of fp32 performance.I'm sure it will run... uuuuh... great... depend on how old it is I guess. Newer chromebooks might be better.Edit: HD600 is a blazing 125 gflops! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical is probably below min. But hey I have played GW2 on a Surface Pro 2, which has a roughly similar GPU (little less powerfull, the low core count really hurts them). "Played" being a relative term, since it took about 10 minutes for me to become nauscious and nearly vomit because it was so choppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
