Arkenrath.4367 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Hi all, I'm experiencing lower than expected framerates (30-40) with a 1060 GTX 6 GB card and I7 -8750H with 16GB Ram on my Acer Predator Helios 300 laptop. GW2 seems to be CPU bound, and I can't figure out how to force it to use the GPU. I'm using Geforce Experience and GW2 is detected, optimized and run through that app. I've also tried right clicking the shortcut and selecting "use graphics processor". I've seen suggestions on the forums to disable the integrated graphics card, but I'd really rather not do that unless I must. Is GW2 really that badly optimized or is there something I haven't tried?

crepuscular.9047 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 yeap, CPU bounded, like any other games, GPUs aren't used to calculate player positioning and damage counters Strategy games like Civilisation is your typical example of heavy CPU usage. GPUs are more rendering and physics calculation, like dropping a ball into a pond, the speed of the ball drop will be calculated by the CPU, but the ripple effect (animation physics) of the impact is calculated by the GPU go to your graphics settings and turn Model Limit down to lowest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a dream if you ask me =) That pc setup is pretty stellar but he has some of the most intense graphical settings off too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is maxed besides Native Sampling and characters. High character limit and Hi-Res Characters is the first thing I'd turn down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Reflections and shadows (as the most CPU demanding settings in the game) are completely turned off in that video. LOD and character model settings (all CPU intense) are set only to high. That's basically running low/medium CPU settings on a high end CPU resulting in 50 fps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tkosh.1923 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Runs like silk on an I7-7700K but remember those laptop CPUs are not the same as desktop CPUs, I have liquid cooling on mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it doesn't. I used to run with a i7 7700k@5.0GHz delided before i upgraded to a i9 9900k and on full maps and on busy boss fights it did not do a good job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
