Hi,

What I’m looking for in a guild is players that love all the different types of gameplay in GW2. I also need the guild to be North American and preferably larger so there are more people to play with. I’m a GW1 veteran (3k hours) and haven’t played GW2 nearly that much yet but let’s get to it.

Let me know.

Thanks.

Turn reflections off. This helped me a lot. Pushing 5.1m pixels is no joke.

I hope you are not running it at native resolution… Maximum what 650M is capable of while still retaining reasonable performance is 1920×1200 (which is far from 5.1m pixels )

But it’s still showing all the pixels. It’s not like it turns off the difference in pixels, it just doesn’t run that at a native resolution. It works like the display scaling in Mac OS X, it renders 3840×2400 then adjusts it to the screen’s resolution. And on boot camp I can actually run it at native

Should I do bootcamp?

Yes.

I get the same FPS on Mac and Windows, but the settings are very different. Windows is basically max at 1920×1200 while Mac is at medium at 1680×1050. It’s a different experience.

I set a screen cap of 30 on my rMBP. Doing that makes my fans not even audible.

You are absolutely right. I can now run it at 1680×1050 with shadow on medium and shaders on medium at my cap of 30 fps. Something with the rMBP and reflections does not work right in Mac. I don’t have this issue in the PC version.

Post your performance here
