Guild Wars 2

I only recently came back to gw2. I lasted played in winters day. For some odd reason After a few mins my fps dropped down really low. I’ve updated graphic card driver (geforce gt 130m 1gb). Free Ram at gw2 start up is 1.4 gb; free ram gw2 running 400mb. CPU working 30-50% based on task manger.

The only thing I can think of is heat and I recently (two days ago) blew out everything with a shot vac and I use a laptop cooler pad. Any Ideas?

I’ve also set everything listed here:

errrr……………………….. buy new laptop. your graphic card is not gonna to cut it for most games

yaaaa, that integrated GPU is old ......sorry to say. honestly I’m surprised you’re even getting 3Fps..

Man, it was SheeeezNit 5 years ago.

I get a good 25-30 fps for the first 20 mins or so.
Oh, and does anyone have a link, guide, or tips on upgrading a graphics in a laptop? I’m not sure if it can be done? Or would it be less hassle to just pay someone to do it?
And anything else I should upgrade for gaming performance? (I mean any other bottle neck blocking good fps)

exactly..5 years ago...

you can’t upgrade a GPU in a laptop because it is soldered to the motherboard. the only thing you can really upgrade in a laptop is RAM

Ok I figured it out. My power settings were limiting my cpu. Fixed the issue. I get 20-30 fps now my cpu does run hot but it always had and always will now its running at speed. Also not having enough power to your cpu may induced the same problem if you get it.

Dam, I love my laptop. 5 years and still running.
