Getting very low fps, playing on a good cpu
Apparently, this game needs high end processor to run decently, IF you are lucky.
Try updating drivers, lowering CPU related settings like reflection (set to None), unparking cores (https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/FPS-TIP-Quickly-increase-your-FPS-on-multicore-CPU/first#post71770)
Another advice is try playing in your old laptop to see results, because many people (like me) started having huge lag issues after they released a “patch” a couple of days ago.
Hi Bartan,
Here I managed to get great FPS improve by reducing Shaders, Post Processing, reflections and shadows (Animation, environment and textures set to high and “Best texture filtering” on – much better performance… and the game still looks great!).
If you go to W3 especially, disable shadows at all
What settings are you using in-game ?
Unfortunately, your GPU is not very powerful. I had a laptop with a similar card – and I tried to play GW2 on it… and you’re not going to be playing on high settings. You’re going to get maybe ~25-30 on low in quiet areas.
It might be a driver issue if you’re playing on low settings – or it could be in part that the new laptop is running at a higher resolution.
Quad-core seems to get the best performance, and yours is a hyper-threaded dual-core (the laptop “i” line is largely dual core – only the i7 with “QM” are actually 4 physical cores). It should have the potential to do pretty decently, but the GPU is so weak it’s going to be held back even there.
