how would Guild Wars 2 run?
I have an 8GB RAM, GeForce 850M, Intel i-7 2.5GHz and Windows 7 and I average about:
- 45-60+ (max up to about 80) fps in general play
- 25-45fps in semi-intense battles such as most world bosses, some dungeons and crowded areas, as well as moderately-particle heavy maps such as Dry Top sandstorms
- 10 – 20fps in severely intense battles such as WvW zerg fights, some world bosses such as Frozen Maw, and the new Maguuma maps for the expansion (although those are not optimized yet)
Although, I must remind you that this is with Windows 7, I have no clue as to how it might be affected with Windows 10, but I recommend you have a skim through this thread for the Windows 10 discussion and how it affects Guild Wars 2.
850m is a lot more powerful than an 840m. 840ms are usually hooked to DDR3 memory while the 850m is hooked to GDDR5 memory which makes a big difference as well.

I’d like to ask a “can GW2 run on this” question too. I wanted to take a group picture of my characters, by taking pictures of a location/spot over and over again (without moving the camera view), while the characters stand/pose on different places of that location. That means I need another PC to run my main account while an alternate account takes pictures. The problem is the only available PC or rather PC parts here are my Intel Core2Duo E7600 and a motherboard with an Intel G31 graphics chipset. My question is, will Guild Wars 2 run on Intel G31 chipset? I’d like to know first before I reassemble it and install an OS and all that stuff (troublesome if at the end of it all, I would find out it won’t run GW2). The minimum requirement of GW2 is GeForce 7800, but I don’t really care if it would run at only 5 frames per second. I’m just going to use it to position my characters.

On what settings? Today I tried playing on Lowest and got about 54-60 fps in Plains of Ashford. On Highest I get about 22-26

Those are with everything at maximum except “Render Sampling” and “Character Limit”, both of which are respectively set to “Native” and “Low” or “Lowest”.
Changing these two options to those values does significantly help with fps if you currently have them set to maximum.
