Guild Wars 2

Hi everyone! I’m looking at getting a gaming laptop ( Iwill be getting a desktop in the future, but it’s not in the cards right now). I’ve been looking at the Gigabyte p27k-cf1.

So basically I just want to know how well this laptop could run guild wars 2. Could I do at least medium settings in pve? Thanks for the help! And any laptop suggestions are welcome! My budget is $1,300.

i think u can play on high at PVE with that

That would be fantastic! Does anyone know what fps I may be looking at if I set it at high settings?

The GPU is literally just a step higher than my laptop’s GTX 670MX so you’ll probably get slightly better and probably between 40-60 on just about all PVE areas on max settings. I play without shadows and reflections though to get that extra boost. Mine has an i7 3630QM. PVP will go well, WVW will see a hit. The only thing that drops my FPS on my laptop is shader particles such as that from the Death From Above trait in use when I hit the ground.

Okay thanks so much for the info! I think I’ll end up going with this laptop. Thanks for the help
