Guild Wars 2

I recently bought the new Asus G750JH and have been enjoying gw2 in it for 2 weeks now.
before getting the massive fps drop, i’ve been recently seeing flashes of the “gw2 game error window” every time i quit the game. i normally get 50+ fps in wvw even playing against massive zergs in ultra settings, my laptop never heats up and absolutely quiet, but just recently (3-4hours before posting this thread) my fps suddenly dropped to 16-24 while doing wvw and never went back to 50, at first i thought it is an internet problem and so i tried some games like l4d2 and dota2 but both games are running perfectly fine. there seems to be nothing wrong w/ my laptop it is still running normally and actually feels cold in touch. please help me optimize the fps w/o dropping the visual settings (if possible) and please try to explain whats going on, in most basic terms. im not a techie guy. thanks.

Just thinking… what power setting do you have your laptop on? Battery Saving/Balanced/High Performance?

Are you at the latest nVidia drivers?

It sounds like a throttling of the CPU/GPU, but temps don’t see to be an issue.

The fact you say its “quiet” seems wrong. While it may feel cool to touch, doesn’t mean the CPU and GPU are being throttle to prevent overheating.

I would recommend HW Monitor from CPUID http://www.cpuid.com/ and watch your temps.

It’s hard to compare game to game; as the engines that run the games are different. Because of this, they interact differently.

snip.

here you go, my laptop temp while playing gw2.
oh and weirdly enough, changing the graphics settings in-game to lowest, doesn’t help at all. fps still stays at 14-20 and also just t add more info, since after the 1st fps drop, loading screens now takes more time and alt-tabbing back into the game have a longer duration of black screen.

thanks!, my laptop was at “power4gear battery saving” mode i tried switching it to “balance” and there was a drastic change. thanks for helping!

No problem. Honestly, as long as you are plugged in to an AC connection, push it to power4gear High Performance.
