Guild Wars 2

I’m currently running gw2 on a 15 in macbook pro that is bootcamped and it runs fine. My question is, are all the resolution choices in the list of resolutions for a wide range of aspect ratios or are they just for 16:9.
Because currently, the selection I see in the drop down is only for 16:9.

I’m confused because I always thought my mbp’s screen was meant for 16:10.

For example If I play Left 4 Dead 2 I have a selection to choose from 4:3, 16:9 and 16:10.

Thus at 16:10 I can choose an even lower resolution than 1024×600 and put all my effects to high and still get no fps drop.

I was wondering if that was going to be possible or if it is possible in gw2?

Thanks.

What year is the MBP?

I don’t remember, but Its probably end of 09 or sometime in 2010.

Card name: AMD Radeon HD 6770M
Manufacturer: ATI Technologies Inc.

Display Memory: 2759 MB
Dedicated Memory: 1012 MB
Shared Memory: 1747 MB
Current Mode: 1680 × 1050 (32 bit) (60Hz)
Monitor Name: Generic PnP Monitor
Monitor Model: Color LCD

Here are some specs.

I can currently play gw2 (and i chose to/like to play it this way) at 1024×600 with high effects on. I do this with every other game too.(L4D, FC3, ARMA:DAYZ, Amnesia…etc.) I Personally cant stand the crisp cg/polygon look. I like my edges smooth but natural and soft. So with FXAA and or Anti Aliasing and low rez it works out well. Also it doesn’t eat up my fps.

If I could run it at even lower rez and still keep a wide 16:10 or 16:9 format I would.

Oh! another thing off topic. Is it possible to update your Display/video card drivers on a boot camp MBP? I mean update them in a legit way? or close to legit so there are no compatibility problems?

1680×1050 is 16:10 I believe, so that’s odd.
