I’m in the party with my two computers :/ Big FPS drops on my tower and laptop..
Tower
AMD Phenom II X4 940 3.0GHz
8 Gb RAM
Windows 7 64bit
nVidia GTX560 running beta drivers 306.23
Laptop
Alienware M15x
Intel i7 940QM
8 Gb RAM
Windows 7 64 bit
ATI 5850 1Gb DDR5 on Catalyst 12.8
Weird part is I heard all over that thread that it would probably be CPU-bound so I thought I would get better FPS on my laptop since it has a better CPU, but it doesn’t I get even worst. I tried a few things, as well as compatibility mode but didn’t do anything. I know it is not a temperature issue and as many stated, most of the games I play I can get over 40 FPS on both machines (LoL, Battlefield 3, Batman etc.). I guess like everyone said we are at the mercy of devs until they release some optimization :/ Or perhaps a better driver from each ATI and nVidia…
edit : I did try the memory patcher on my tower and I think it did increase and made the fps more steady.. I get about 55-60 FPS on my tower now.. went to low 25 during a 20 men fight in WvW though… so it was a quick test… maybe some other people want to try it? Link is here :

Just make a backup of your gw2.exe just in case
