Guild Wars 2

Spitfire.4589:

My specs as follows:
16 gig ram
i7-3610QM @ 2.3 or 3.1 GHZ (Turbo)
Nvidia 670m

The performance is very inconsistent. I can be fighting with 50 people and the fps can be at 50 fps. But staring at a blank wall my fps can drop to 25fps and goes back to 80fps. Also by using the MSI afterburner tool, I notice that my GPU usage is going up and down (from 25% to 90%) When GPU usage is at 25% the framerate gets terrible.

As this is a laptop I have done the following:
Made sure Laptop is plugged in.
Used high perfomance power settings.
Selected Nvidia display adapter as the main device and put the power settings to max performance.

I am using the beta driver 306.02 but there’s not much improvement. Please help the game does not seem to be using the GPU correctly. I have used Batman and etc.. and with the MSI afterburner tool the GPU usage ranges from 80-90% which is correct.

Ok so I exchanged my laptop and lo and behold I have the same issue. The GPU usage is low…. when the GPU usage drops to below 40% the framerate is terrible. This definitively has to be either an engine problem or I have gotten 2 lemon MSI GT 70 laptops and the strange thing is other games and benchmark programs the GPU usage is at 80% and above….

Please help. This doesnt affect my Alienware M14x which has a 650m. This is a 675m laptop with 16 gigs of ram sigh.
