Guild Wars 2

I just bought a laptop yesterday, the spec is i7-7700 , 8GB ram, SSD and GTX 1060, it’s quite a mid range above laptop.

I have a desktop too with i7-6700k, GTX 970, 16GB RAM and SSD, i have test both device performance, and both hit exactly same performance (almost same FPS for Overwatch, around same score for Heaven bench-marking)

But the weird thing is the FPS is HUGE different in Guild War 2, with Same Graphic Setting, my character walking around same place, my Desktop hit around Min:90 – Max:120 FPS, but my laptop hit around Min:35 – Max:60 FPS only. Is that normal?

I have tried all the solution in internet but still no luck, any other suggestion?
The only different between my laptop and desktop is , laptop is Window 10 Home, Desktop is Window 10 Pro.

Disable nvidia shadowplay. Lots of us had the same problem with nvidia-carded laptops.

It might also be called ‘instant replay.’ You can find the settings for it in the GeForce Experience control panel.

also the i7-7700 is a desktop chip. are you sure that’s what your laptop has? some of the mobile i7s are only dual cores, not quads, and that would severely affect your performance.

Thanks for the reply,i will check on the shadow play.

mine is i7-7700HQ, the problem is for other game the performance is ok, only for Guild Wars 2 is different.

my Desktop hit around Min:90 – Max:120 FPS

Where in the game?

That’s really nice numbers, that puts your computer above I would guess 95% of other GW2 players. I’ve seen systems greater that yours that won’t reach those numbers, especially the Min FPS you claim.

If he was just walking around in the open world and was never in big groups it’s pretty reasonable

Yeah, as why I asked ‘where’, since I’ve yet to hear about any system that can maintain 90 fps min.

Im using Windows 10 pro but my options are Medium!! Your’s must be ultra, your CPU is a bit better than mine but i think it doesn’t matter because GW2 can’t utilize all 8 cores we haw! I think game uses only 2 cores. That’s whi lower specs PC runs game with same FPS.
