Medusa.4108 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 This game runs bad on my laptop intel core i7 7700HQ 8GB nvidia gtx 1060 6GB This game manage to pull my fps below 30 something lol. But my old laptop ran guild wars 2 fine.. so umm is this game even optimized for new hardware or only for old hardware lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limodriver.4106 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 there is no way ur old laptop is better than ur new one maybe ur old laptop has everything turned off and ur new one has everything turned on. Ur lucky to even get 20fps+ from ur old laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ur lucky to even get 20fps+ from ur old laptop. Actually my old laptop ran it on stable 60 fps except during world events, yes it ran on low and yes it had some settings turned of. But my laptop should be able to run this game on max e.e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malediktus.9250 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Clockspeed and fast memory is king for GW2. Unfortunately laptop CPUs have low clock speeds to fit into the low TDP targets. But even with my i7-8700k@5GHz and 4266 CL17 RAM (with very tight subtimings) I barely have over 30 fps at stuff like Tequatl. (1440p, max settings except character model limit to medium) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loosmaster.8263 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I used to get down to 12fps before I notice anything. I ditched Windows 10(64bit) reformatted and installed Windows 7(64bit). I average 40-70fps in any situation. Mine is a desktop, I have never bought a computer. I build them to whatever specs I plan on using it for. Also with laptops, cooling is critical.

Go through the settings and lower them. In particular, turn down character limit and shadows. Should be a considerable boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilk.2965 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Do not expect miracles with this game, I have a ryzen 7 1800x + 1080ti and sometimes I do not get to 20fps on some maps (with characters in the middle and shadows without being ultra) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercury ranique.2170 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Do you run any third party software? Try to run with them disabled. Also check if you use the latest drivers and nvidia software. If you do, try going back one version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alatar.7364 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Does it always run badly? Our laptops are pretty much same, but mine does this funny thing that it runs Gw2 pretty well, but when I play some other game that has very high requirements and I turn off that game and start Gw2 afterwards, then Gw2 loads for like 5-10 mins on every loading screen + fps drop which doesn't get better until I restart the laptop. Maybe yours does this same stuff. However I found no solution so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it doens't always run that bad and yea i also experience fps drops sometimes(not always) It also depends on which map certain maps i have 60+ fps and other maps it drops to 45-50 and in world events such as world bosses it drops to 30 Other way higher requirements games works fine on ultra or very high with 60+ fps lol, so i think guild wars 2 ins't really optimized for newer hardware. Funny thing is is that they're is barely a difference between max and low settings in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedek.8932 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 There are minor settings you can turn off and some that you should let be turned on. It's up to everyone's taste, but the best working solution for me was to turn off reflections and Anti Alias (luckily I like the crisp look of the game). Things that should be always max are also one of the few that does not eat up many ressources, such as high texture quality and even supersampling. Depending on your screen size, you might turn off supersampling and use native. I am running a Ryzen 7 1700X and a GTX1080, I encounter the problem Malediktus was talking about: I have many cores, but with the clock speed of a 6-year old CPU (at 3.6 GHz) My previous CPU, the i7 3770, clocked the same, the game ran a tad worse. I can really feel the little bumps in framerate my GTX1080 is handling now better over my 970, but the CPU bottlenecking is awkward when even two cores are idling (!). I am also very annoyed by the incredible poor multi-core usage in this game, especially when the CPU and GPU are both used like 50% and I still get only 40fps. Every other program (except Office 2010 and PhotoFiltre, which both are, IMO, Single-core applications) are working so darn well with AMDs new gem CPUs and are a pure joy to use, especially simulteanously, but this game is really awkward in that matter, being my main game, it was kind of a bummer :( @"Alatar.7364" Your phenomena is pretty simple: Your memory have been used, especially the swap file. Even with enough RAM, many modern games still require a swapfile, e.g. Dishonored 2 crashed on me with a "low system memory" message while I had 11 GByte left. Clean up RAM, VRAM and Swap via reboot and you're set. Just like airing the room after the night. EDIT: Swapfile is also often called Pagefile. Not sure why though. Excelsior.

But they found unistalling all nvidia drivers and installing the 385 series drivers improves gw2 fps a lot. And it works. i did it and my fps is finally back up where it used to be before the latest driver updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KronosBaelfire.6289 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 The lag in this game is getting worse. I never had a problem running my game before the patches came out and not I can't even do the storyline because my skills won't work due to so much lag.

KrivukasLT.3507 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Set player models to low or lowest. That option basically controls how many players you can see at any given time and is really heavy on cpu. Ofc you will see nameplates of every player. This will let you drastically increase your fps in LA or other heavily populated area. Other thing is that game is from 2012 when multicore gaming more than two cores wasnt that popular, game even uses old heavy modified gw1 engine from earlier years plus directX 9 is not that well optimised. Anet already said that making game to run on newer directX would not increase fps that mutch. So its not worth to invest time and resources into that. So thats that. Its actually really impressive that devs can make such beautiful game with such old (ancient :D) tech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
