Guild Wars 2

For all you MacBook Air enthusiasts out there… I decided to try running the game on my dated 2010 11" base model, which does NOT meet the minimum recommended requirements. I was pleasantly surprised. My model sports the following:

- 1.4 Core 2 Duo (Less than minimum recommended, which is an i5 processor)
– 2GB Ram (Less than minimum recommended, which is 4GB)
– NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB
– 64GB Flash Storage

This build runs the game at 15 FPS with lowest settings. Sure, it doesn’t look amazing and yes, it’s a tad choppy… BUT, this system (with less than the minimum system requirements) is indeed capable of running the game.

Yet another testament to the architecture of the Air. They’re more than you’d expect. Makes me want to upgrade my on-the-go system!

Cheers!

For the record, it also runs on a macbook white unibody with a 9400M with no dedicated video memory. Choppy and sometimes under 15 fps even on the lowest details, but it’s good enough for a heart or two or for checking the trading post. I do have 8 G of RAM in it instead of the original 2.
