Planning on buying a new laptop. Will this run it smoothly?
Intel ® Core ™ i7 Quad-Core 3610QM (Ivy Bridge)
Processor 2.3 GHz Frequency, Turbo Boost 3.3 GHz
Processor Cache 6 MB
RAM 8 GB, Type DDR3-1600 RAM
Graphics Card AMD Radeon ™ HD 7670M
Thanks

Hey will my laptop run Guild Wars 2
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
AMD A8 3520M APU
5.6 GB RAM
AMD Radeon HD 6620G
I have GW2 on my wife & I's desktops. Everything is running great at the auto-detected settings. Haven't tried our laptops yet.
Pentium D 940
2GB DDR2-800
Radeon 4670
Core i5 2500k @ 4.8Ghz
8GB DDR3-1600
Radeon 4850 (I know it's old)
Canyourunit says I can but I want to know what kind of performance I should expect to see using my ~3 year old laptop.
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T9600 @ 2.80GHz
4 Gigs of Ram
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4500/5100 Series
What kind of frame rates would I expect to see with settings on low in a pvp environment? At least 30+?
So here is my current computer.
CPU AMD Phenom™ II X4 945 Processor
RAM 2.1 GB (Will be getting a 4GB stick on sunday)
OS Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate Edition (build 7600), 32-bit
GPU ATI Radeon HD 5450
Disk Space 760.9 GB
Will I be able to run it on ok setting? Medium preferably Will be upgrading shortly but would love to be able to play the game before the upgrade.
You'll be a victim of the 3GB barrier.
Anyway to bypass this? I am computer illiterate...
Only way to bypass it is getting a 64-bit operating system.
My i5-3570k at 4400MHz drops to like 30fps with a single EVGA GTX 670 (FTW edition)
I'm amazed so many people are actually able to hold up with stoneage PC's in there. I'm going mad with 30fps, how can you play with less?
You shouldn't need that much ram in order to play it properly. But yes it would be an improvement for sure.

Check out this tweak, I got about 10 more fps and faster processing from it.
By default Windows 7 uses different timers in the CPU to calculate stuff. HPET is the newest and best of these timers, but because of default combination of timers it takes longer time for CPU to keep up all the timers and sync between them. Forcing Windows to use HPET only improves performance and leads to greater FPS.
Download this windows timer tester and test your system before and then after the tweak below.
Steps to enable this tweak:
1. Enable HPET in BIOS. If you have HPET option in BIOS then your hardware can support HPET.
2. Enable HPET in Windows by giving this command in admin credential CMD:
bcdedit /set useplatformclock true
3. Reboot
If you run into any issue you can just simply apply this command:
bcdedit /deletevalue useplatformclock
The usefulness of this tweak depends on hardware setup. However, what appears to be universal is that you will see a performance increase if HTEP is either the only timer activated or entirely deactivated. Which of these are better for you depends, as previously stated, on what kind of hardware you have and you should experiment (if you know what you're doing, of course) to see which one suits your computer best.

Hello,
I'm new here
I would like to buy GW2, but I don't know my comp is good enough to play this game...
These are my parts:
Intel Pentium G620 Sandy Bridge
Vertex 3D Radeon 4850 DDR5 1GB
4GB RAM
HDD Seagate 7200 Rpm
Windows 7
It's enough to play in HD on 21' monitor? And on minimum of medium details...?
I know I can forget about WvWvW, but what about normal PvP and PvE?
Please help.
Intel Q6600 at 3.2ghz OC
MSI GTX 660 OC
Samsung 830 SSD
8GB Ram
Getting 35-65fps at 1680x1050 questing around with Best Appearance setting + supersampling. Often I get 50-60fps+ just standing still, but sometimes turning around my fps drops to 30-40fps.
Right now my cpu is bottlenecking my gpu so until I can buy a new cpu/mobo/ram which settings in GW2 affect the CPU the most? Ideally want to get 50-60fps while getting the most eye candy graphics from my gpu.
Update:
Lowered each graphic settings one by one to see how it changes my FPS. "Shadows" settings seems to affect my FPS the most about 3-5fps loss. "Shaders" was another that lowered my fps but not much 1-2fps. Everything else even at max setting didn't affect my fps. The difference from best performance setting to best appearance was only about 10fps at best. Guess it shows how much my CPU really bottlenecks in gw2.

I always found it strange that my brother ran this game without any stutter and we have the exact same pc, but I have an amd 5870 with 6 gigs of ram and he has a 5850 with 4 gigs
but I just had a breakthrough...
I've been suffering with 10-20 fps on all settings and resolutions.
I've tried different versions of amd's drivers, nothing seemed to work, until I took apart my graphics card and cleaned it...and cleaned the dust out of my processor fan.
I can now run it 1920x1200 everything on max 60 fps....time to play this game at last

Hey guys, first time posting on this website. I've been itching to buy GW2 for the longest time, however I think my GPU is going to hold me back on world v world.
I'm not much of a computer person, so I'm just going to list what I think is pertinent info and hopefully someone can ballpark whether I can run world v world comfortably (20~ fps) on lowest settings.
AMD II 840T
AMD Radeon HD 6450 (512mb/DDR3)
8GB DDR3 system memory
Windows 7
If anybody can answer my question, thanks in advance!
