Guild Wars 2

Intel Core i3 3120M
I just need something that can run the game smoothly on best performance. I don’t really care much about the graphics. No lag and barely any is more important to me haha

Nope it is not a good processor, A i3-3120m processor is a dual-core mobile processor. I don’t think i3 mobile processors have turbo boost. You’re still going to have lag at zerg area’s or wvw area’s even being at best performance. Also intel graphics are no good, even at best performance, you would want at least an i5 but preferably i7 with at least a gt 640m to play smoothly on best performance in non crowded area’s as this game is cpu based.

No.

For 3 reasons.
its a laptop/mobile CPU.
its a dual core.
its got a low clock speed.

For a laptop u want ether:
i7 3630QM or better
i7 4700MQ or better
i7 3820 (this is a desktop processor, but the LGA 2011 CPU’s have been built into a select few Super high end laptops)

GPU wise u want a dedicated card. i would say a 660m would be the absolute lowest, and advised would be a 760m.

Use this to compare laptop CPUs.

2.5 GHz, dual core with HT. It is the best i3-3xxxM mobile CPU out there but the i3 is the lesser CPU line for laptops from Intel.

Ok how’s this?

Intel core i5-3230M

Follow the link above and try get a CPU that has atleast 1.41 score on the Cinebench R11.5 CPU Single 64Bit score.

Sort it to show only mobile/laptop CPU’s and order by Cinebench R11.5 CPU Single 64Bit.
