Chromebook can now run Windows...but can it run GW2?

[Cragga the Eighty Third.60]

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.)

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!

i was expecting for Anet to drop the current client... but would move forward the new tech... overtime :\

If we just go by fp32 performance a chromebook could do it ... well at least it meets the minimum system requirement ANet list on the purchase page.

 

Minimum requirements

GeForce 8800 GTS 512 - 416 gflops

Radeon HD 2900 XT - 475.5 gflops

 

Asus Flip C436 chromebook with Intel Core i7 10510U

Intel UHD Graphics 10510U - 441.6 gflops

 

but that turns into "what is the best gaming laptop you can buy for $1000?"

Its unlikely it will maintain absolute max boost for long while gaming with passive cooling though. 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.
