So it appears that somehow i get more fps running on my integrated graphics card (i7-5500U 2.4ghz processor) and when i play on my dedicated graphics card (AMD radeon R5 M330 2gb) i get ~10 less fps. My laptop has 16GB ram. I am running the game on 64bit client Maybe you guys know why is that?

Could your GPU be using some type of power saving features that is reducing performance?

Intel Core i7 4790K @4.7 GHz, 32 GB 2133 MHz DDR3.
MSI GTX 1080 Sea Hawk EK X 2xSLI 2025 / 11016 MHz, liquid cooling custom loop.
Samsung 850 Evo 500 GB. HTC Vive.

In AMD software I checked everything possible to maximum performance, so answering to your question – no or at least i dont know about it

That is a very weak GPU and more or less on the same performance level than a
Intel 4400 it seems :

EVERY MMO is awesome until it is released then its unfinished. A month after release it just sucks.
Best MMOs are the ones that never make it. Therefore Stargate Online wins.

Your dgpu is just only about 10% faster than your igpu. But in gw2 the interface between cpu and gpu is very important, so it is normal the igpu works better than the dgpu.
