Hey folks, I got a questions to all the people that play GW2 on a laptop with a dedicated nVidia GPU.
I already had major issues with a driver update a few months ago that forced me to downgrade my driver version.
Now I bought Star Wars Battlefront on the May the 4th sale and ofc the game askes for a more current driver version (v359.06 or newer).
Then again, there’s this thread that makes me feel like v364.72 doesn’t work with GW2 either.
So if you’re running GW2 on a laptop with a Geforce m series GPU and found a driver version between v359.06 and the latest v365.10 that works well, it would be kind to let me so I won’t have to spend half a day playing driver versions try-and-error.

I’m running v364.72 with a 980M on Windows 10, and have had no issues. Generally get 60+ FPS on ultra high except in extremely crowded areas. Haven’t tried the latest version yet, will probably try updating tonight.
Cheers mate, appreciate your answer! Will try v364.72 on the weekend crossing fingers

i have been playing gw2 for a long while and my laptop has a 850m dedicated graphics nvidia card. im not sure which was it but after a patch from nvidia or gw2 (maybe both), i started to get 20 fps on all modes, even on high and even on low in LA.
so i decided to check out an older nvidia version which was 358.50, now im once again getting high fps, about 60 on auto detect (which is medium/high) even during busiest LA time.
oh and i use windows 8.1 cause switching to windows 10 kept causing alot problems for the laptop as well as gw2
Thanks for your input. Somewhat strange that v358.50 works on your machine, since it caused a lot of problems (see first link in starting post) for me and some others. Dunno wether it’s Win 7 (which I use) related or only affects older GPUs like the 600 series?!
Gah, why do such things always have to start to become complicated…

Just wanted to leave a quick “Thank you!” v364.72 works perfectly so far!
