Guild Wars 2

Hi there,

So my brother and I both have the same laptop but our computers seem to perform in relation to GW2 differently. We discussed possibilities but could not figure out what he may have done to get his laptop running with better performance. I have fps that fluctuates quite a bit and I get laggy quite a bit. I made sure my laptop is not using my integrated graphic card and did this multiple times to be sure. It has gotten better but I am still wondering what issues my computer may be experiences that is causing it to have not as good performance. Please help me with any ideas you may have. I am open to try anything as long as it does make my performance worse :P

Thank you!!!

My laptop I’m using is an Asus ROG G750JM that has a GTX 860m graphics card and a Core i7 processor. I can give you more specs for my laptop if you think it would help.

Can confirm. I’m having bad FPS aswel despite good (ok) PC.

My brother is using the same computer as I am and his fps is better.

Can someone please give me some ideas about what I should do? Since, I have already changed my settings to what the GMs believe to make the game run at best performance. It’s weird that my brother is having no trouble with his FPS, but I am. I have asked him what he did and he doesn’t think he did to increase performance and said he didn’t do anything special.

It might be an AMD issue , since I did some research and found out AMD has fps problems with GW2.

My card is nvidia

Gw2s issue is with AMD processors and their weaker-than-intel single thread performance. Not with GPUs.

That said, do you have lots of background programs running that your brother doesn’t?

I mean I’ve closed all the programs that are running that I can see when I play, but is there away to see other programs that running that I can’t see? I

Also, I have updated my drivers also, and made sure that the beta drivers are also downloaded. I am pretty convinced now that it might be a storage problem/having too many programs open, but I don’t know how to go about fixing this problem. Can someone give me a some suggestions? Right now any suggestion would be greatly appreciated because I really want to figure this out. This is really an odd situation, especially because my brother is not having this same issue, and we have the same laptops.

I have heard that it’s related to the GPU being in the X1 slot at the motherboard.
But im not sure.

Could someone tell me how I can change that?
