Guild Wars 2

Hi,
This is a very powerful computer and even when I am running multiple heavy apps I can’t hear the fans. However when I start playing GW2 the fans always go to 6000 rpm? Is this normal? Should I be worried?

Thanks

No you should not. Exactly the same thing with Early 2013 machine. No fans when runnins Photoshop or In Design or anything as heavy as them. But when playing any graphically intense game the fans will and should kick in. Be happy that they kick in. They will save your laptop.

With settings on low to medium, FPS capped at 30, I regularly run at 90C and upwards of 105C (which I thought was the shut down point).

Just curious what others experience…

How is that even possible? I run GW2 on my Early 2013 Retina MBP on medium to high settings, pretty much maxed out on Mac Beta. And I run around 40fps and not even too hot.

Weird.

No issues at all here. And I actually had slight performance boost compared to Mountain Lion.

On Mavericks my MacBook Pro runs the game on highest possible settings pretty much between 40-50fps. While on Mountain Lion I had fps between 35-45.

I consider that a nice boost in performance.

Yes! Definitely. Would be nice to get native Mac client for even better performance.

Even… I have to say that I’m positively surprised about how well the Mac Beta runs even in this state. But native client for Mac would be epic.

Yeah. Really annoying. But luckily thats pretty much the only problem I’m experiencing in Mac Beta.

In overall game runs surprisingly well.
