Guild Wars 2

Hi,

I have upgraded to Windows 8 and now have very poor FPS when playing GW2.

To trouble-shoot so far, I have uninstalled both my Intel HD and Nvidia graphics drivers. After restarting, I first reinstalled the latest Windows 8 approved Intel driver from Dell. Restarted again, then installed the latest Nvidia software suite. Restarted and still poor FPS.

Before I upgraded to Windows 8, I was able to play GW2 with graphics settings maxed out, all would run crisp and smoothly. Any help would be appreciated. My PC specs are as follows.

Alienware m17xR4 laptop
Intel quad core cpu 3.9 ghz
12gb pc ram
Nvidia GeForce GTX 675M – 2gb video ram

Regards,
Saleen

Windows 8 is not really designed for Home PC’s and Laptops and most people should stick with Windows 7 on those systems.

Windows 8 is designed for tablets, phones, ect and is a great upgrade to those systems.

You should be able to get windows 8 to work, it is most likely a driver issue. There might not be a driver yet that will work for your dell system with Windows 8 for GW2. I would try some other drivers, or better yet put Win 7 back on your Home PC.
