Guild Wars 2

Was looking around for some tweaks for GW2 on Linux and saw the -cuda command-line variable. The wiki claims it’s non-functional, but the CUDA API appears to be loaded with it in-use (the Compute cache directory is created and NVIDIA’s profiler confirms it uses the GPU and CUDA).

Here’s a quick video showing the above: https://youtu.be/wzyF87RdlL4

It doesn’t really seem to make any significant difference in my case though, but to be fair, I didn’t do any in-depth testing and my set-up is beyond unsupported :p Perhaps some others could verify whether or not it does anything for performance?

This requires a CUDA-capable NVIDIA GPU and proper graphics drivers installed.

Reported GPU memory at the character select screen goes up by about 20MB going from non-CUDA to CUDA.
