Hello, yesterday I installed Guild Wars 2 on my laptop, which is a HP Pavillion g6 with an AMD A6-4400M APU, and AMD Radeon HD 7520G integrated card. I know its not specifically meant to game but it does run other games fairly well such as Tera, and Diablo 3. I’m hoping there’s someway to boost my 13fps up to at least 30+
I apologize in advance if this was a dumb thread to post, and its hopeless to run the game..
There is a benchmarking tool we use to see your average frame rate and performance in a real world 3D environment called Heaven. This is more for your own personal reference, but it should give you some idea as to what kind of performance you can expect in Guild Wars 2. If your numbers are abysmally low (say, in the single digits) then more than likely this is a hardware based issue and not an issue with the client itself.
To run Heaven,
1, Download “Heaven” from this site here: http://unigine.com/products/heaven/download/ (Free download)
2. Once on this page, click “Mirrored by TechPowerUP” under the “Windows Version” field. This will take you to TechPowerUp.com where you can click “Download Now” and select a download mirror.
3. Once downloaded, double click the file to run it.
4. Use the following settings:
API: DirectX 9
Tessellation: Disabled
Shaders: High
Anisotropy: 4x
Stereo 3D: Disabled
Multi monitor: Unchecked
Anti-aliasing: Off
Full Screen: Check marked
Resolution: System
Once running, click the “Benchmark” button in the top left corner. This will start the test. Once completed, the results will be shown on the screen and you can click “Save” to save your results.
Voila!
Aside from this, there’s a few different things you can check off as far as troubleshooting goes to increase performance:
- Make sure all of your drivers are up to date
- Disable any start-up apps via Msconfig to make sure none of them are conflicting with the client
- Make sure your hardware isn’t underclocked or have any sort of odd memory timings
etc.
