I recently got an Intel/NVIDIA Optimus laptop, and this is basically my first real introduction to NVIDIA graphics personally (always been an AMD fan; unfortunately only higher-end I/N laptops were available for a swap I did).

Any way, I’m rolling with the 367.27 drivers currently on Ubuntu 16.04 and Wine Staging. My FPS is alright. This is my setup guide for anyone interested: https://wiki.realmofespionage.xyz/games:wine:guild_wars_2

One interesting tweak I see mentioned by some people is Threaded Optimizations. Does anyone use that option as of currently and can confirm it does anything beneficial? I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong, running into some Optimius-related thing, or maybe it’s broken currently, but if I enable it, my FPS drops significantly.

I’m also curious to know if anyone is using any other interesting tweaks that could help out performance. I also have STAGING_SHARED_MEMORY=1 and STAGING_WRITECOPY=1 on too.
