Title: Guild Wars 2 Benchmarked
Post by: Redaktion on September 08, 2012, 07:50:54
A breath of fresh air. ArenaNet believes it can dethrone World of Warcraft with new - and sometimes unconventional - changes to the MMO genre. Can a company made of ex-Blizzard employees strike gold with a subscription-free MMO? We test the game with a range of notebooks and GPUs to determine what system a player will need to experience ArenaNet's unique title.

Thank you for the benchmark, it only confirms how CPU-demanding the game is.

It´s even more CPU-demanding than we anticipated. The following article should be translated into english soon: http://www.notebookcheck.com/Ivy-Bridge-Guide-fuer-Spieler.81670.0.html. We tested Guild Wars 2 with a GTX 680M and nine Ivy Bridge CPUs there.

I was wondering if my processor could handle this game. It seems to not be on your list. I have an AMD E-450 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics 1.65 Ghz. I've checked and rechecked the minimum requirements. I can run World of Warcraft on the lowest possible setting and my FPS was 38 - 42 depending on what are I was in.

I don´t think it´s strong enough, when even a Core i3-3110M (2.4 GHz) has problems.
