Guild Wars 2

Originally I updated my graphics drivers using ATI’s Catalyst install manager…. I got horrible results 10-15 fps at lowest settings.

After I reverted to apple’s software drivers I saw a major increase in my performance. It should be noted I’m running everything on lowest to maximize fps ( game doesn’t look very pretty), but I am able to play properly and that is all that I care about.

Also I plan to buy a Coolermaster Note-U3 cooling pad for gaming as my MBP runs very hot even with fan settings changed to 4500rpm

According to my research the Coolermaster Note-U3 does a great job of keeping MBP’s cool.

To update all you early 15" MBP users..

I played on the Mac client with lowest settings and I got around 15-25 fps in all areas

I took Xandman’s advice and installed boot camp; the difference is night and day
On a combo of low/med settings I am constantly getting 56-60fps .
V-sync enabled seems to keep it at 60 about 99% of the time.
This was tested in populated areas but no large scale WvW yet

My system specs are listed in my OP,
Early MBP bootcamp is a must.

What are your MBP’s Specs?

How many FPS do you get during the majority?
How many do you get in highly populated areas?

Thanks!

Anyone running the mac client on an Early 2011 MBP? If so how is your performance?

What kind of performance can i expect with these specs

Early 2011 MBP 15" Hi-res Anti-glare
Processor 2 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 10 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6490M 256 MB
HDD 500GB 7200 RPM

Thanks!
