Guild Wars 2

I would like to see

Opacity option for chat box
Full opacity or fade
Colour options for text etc

Nope its all relative I live in a very small house, been there T shirt etc with huge noisy gaming rig. So for some folk who maybe have a very good reason for wanting to game on
a laptop it makes perfect sence.
My laptop is for all the family but lets me play mmos i couldn’t otherwise play.
We all know you can only upgrade so far anyway before a new scratch build is needed, so get a good spec and you can play for a good couple of years.
Point is laptops are slowly but surely becoming a more viable option for pc gaming

Just noticed zgd two posts above has the same laptop as me, and he says the same.
So maybe this would be good for you too

Ok hope this helps
I have a brand new laptop Aser Aspire v3-571g
i7 2.3-3.3 turbo
gt640m 2 gig
8gb ram ddr3
1tb hdd
7 64bit
15.6 led hd lcd
£690 was 1000 but price drop due to new gen being released, you can still buy this laptop just from amazon etc
Have been playing Gw2 maxed out apart from shadows which i have set to low.
Everything else is maxed and the game looks beautiful, i also play on wifi which amazes me, feels like a wired conection, but i do have 60 meg.
Fps 70-100’ though i have recently gone for vsync which brings them down to 60hz etc with no screen tear.
Now here is the thing my laptop gets stela reviews all over, apart from the fact its only 1366 dispay which is the trade off. But trust me the display is stunning and the game looks perfect to me.
Point is low price meets very high laptop spec combine with lower rez=ultra settings plus very high fps and im so happy. feels like top end dektop performance on a laptop for under £700.
If you read the reviews everyone comes to this conclusion, its a great laptop for gaming.
I woul not pay silly money for Alienware when spec is hardly any better than mine, plus you will up the rez and only get 25 fps because of rez shift.

Dont worry you have a gaming laptop, my laptop is more or less the same spec 640 gt 2 gig and the fan does blow out hot air a plenty. But point is these gpus are built to play games. I play for hours and have no crashes or problems of any kind.
Its a gaming laptop so dont worry about playing games, if it can run a game its only doing what you payed for

Cool well its a silly thing but your answer makes me feel happy to use vsync now in gw2’ so cheers. One last thing is a refresh rate typical at 50 or is that just for my rez which is a 16/9 1366 native screen rez for my laptop

Great everyone thanks for this, I didn’t think it would stress the gpu at higher fps to be honest, so this is a good point. Can others confirm that with vsync on gpu does run cooler.
Just to check I now have 60hz and 60 fps ticked along with vsync is this what most folk go with. My refresh rate seems to be 50 with vsync enabled is this average

Just a quick ask around.
How many folk who get 70 fps and above as average enable vsync as they don’t like
screen tear. I was getting 60-100 with a little screen tear here and there, and it didn’t bother me.
But I have started using vsync and now get a nice 50 fps rock steady with no tear.

Point is a kinda miss my higher fps, so im asking what do most people who can get
high fps prefer

Cheers
