Guild Wars 2

So thinking about getting this laptop, http://www.xoticpc.com/lenovo-ideapad-y510p-59375625-eta-midaugust-p-6166.html?wconfigure=yes

It’s the Lenovo Y510p Laptop running 2 GeForce GT 750m SLI with the intel i7-4700 processor in it. I will also be adding a 64gb SSD to it for the OS and GW2.

I was wanting to know how this would run GW2 on either medium or high settings?

As well as would a 64gb SSD be enough to cover my OS and GW2 together? The only 2 things I would be putting on it.

Thanks a lot!

I haven’t experienced SLI ever, but judging from this:

It should do very well considering that it looks like the SLI setup will have similar performance to my GTX 560Ti 448. Likely worse due to my overclock, but you should be able to push mostly high settings besides super sampling and reflections since you’ll be at 1080p.

As far as your CPU goes, you’ll still see lower FPS in large dynamic events and large WvW battles because of the lower frequency laptops have versus their desktop counterparts. As for how low, I can’t say, but don’t expect 30FPS in these situations. You’ll want to set WvW character detail to lowest and culling to whatever you prefer. You can have a higher FPS but not see everyone (not many people I know do this) or see everyone at the cost of a lower FPS (what most people I know do).

The 64GB should handle Guild Wars 2 and a typical Windows 7 installation. Guild Wars 2 is like 18GB (on the high end) and Windows 7 can be as well (if its a bloated version). Though, you don’t want to fill up an SSD, for the most part they perform best when they have at least 20% open space.

Thank you, I kind of figured WvW would be kind of a pain, but as of right now I have been playing on my desktop which runs with a Nvidia 9800GT and Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q9300 @ 2.5 ghz. Do you know how they would compare?
