My FPS is so low! Why? [8 FPS]

I have the game set up to the absolutely lowest settings, and when I am in the jungle by myself I am getting 8 – 10 FPS. The game is so choppy, also my cursor is disappearing a lot when I can’t see it flashing from the lag so I play windowed mode.

Processor: Pentium® Dual-Core CPU T4400 @ 2.20GHz 2.20GHz
Ram: 3.00GB
System Type: 64-bit operating system [Windows 7]

I am very frustrated with this situation I just bought the game I am loving it, but I can barely play because it is so choppy. I have went on the website of my computer and downloaded the latest drivers I believe, what does every one have in mind? I went ahead and deleted about everything on my computer all the extra things, World Of Warcraft, League of Legends, a ton of space saved, but I haven’t seen any difference in my FPS.

Please I will take any ideas, and I appreciate any help, thank you ahead of time for any posts

Hi MrMcArthur – If you do not have a discreet graphics card and are only running with your Mobile Intel® 4 Series Express Chipset, you do not meet the minimum requirements for Guild Wars 2. This is not to say that you will be unable to play, but coupled with your specific processor you will experience some in game performance issues such as you have described.

If upgrading is something that you are able to do, I would suggest upgrading your system in order to obtain much more desirable framerates.
