Guild Wars 2

So for some time I have been trying to solve a problem I’m having.

Half of the time I’m gaming at home (with 24" external screen) and half of the time I’m playing on my laptop screen. So the problem is:

When I play on my laptop screen, I get huge FPS drops and overall FPS is lower then on extrenal display. I just dont get the logic. I would have tought, that external display needs more resorces.

So does anyone have the same problem, and/if you have some solution? I’d be really glad if you had.

My specification:

Laptop: 15? Asus K53sv
CPU: i5 2410 – 2.3 gHz
Ram: 8gb (1600mHz)
GPU: nvidia gt540m

I run everything on best performance in game, exept rendering native.

Thanks for help again =)

Whats the resolution of your Laptops LCD and the resolution of the 24" external?

are you playing a different area of the game on your Laptops LCD vs the External 24"

Well i use same resolution for both (1366xsomething dont remeber). I tend do use lower resolution because of older comp.

Also the areas are the same, fps is always lower. It cen be afking in vigil leep, or running wvw with a zerg.

It could be that when you are using the external monitor your laptops LCD is turned off, and when you go back to your laptops LCD the system keeps both display ports open (internal and your external)

that will put extra stress on your system to render for both displays. SO I would start by verifying that your system is in single display mode when you are using the Laptops LCD.
