I have the beta and M14xR1. Maxed out quality with no problems! :)

Which beta event did you start on or what resolution were you playing at? with an Alienware M14 R2 , the only way to play smoothly is to put shadows to low. The rest on high and AA and AF disabled @ 1600 x 900 res.

I tested with an M14 R1. OCed at 770 core and 1080 memory. Everything maxed out with shadows low. My res was on default 14" though. BTW, I have the 3GB version of GT555m on it which I am sure I am very sure has no bearing on the performance.

The game is out and last week, i played with 15-25 FPS in low settings, and my GPU load was only 55 %, with a M14xR1 2630 QM 2ghz i7, 6 Gb ram, 555m GT 3Gb, and no OC.

I don't understand but now, i can play with good shaders, textures, FXAA and a lot of options, with 45-60 FPS ! More, the GPU load is now arround 99 %.

I just turned on overclocking menu in bios (A05 or A08, same results). i played 6 hours non stop without any problem.

I tried to increase in the bios the CPU bus speed 103,1 Mhz (max) but it is the same result with 99,8 Mhz.

Slightly offtopic but my brother plays guild wars 2 on his lappy and its quite outdated now so its nice that even older pcs will be able to play it. For reference hes playing okay on a HP HDX 18t it has 8gb ddr3, a 500GB 7200rpm sata 2, Intel Core 2 Quad q9000 2.4ghz max, nvidia gt130m so you can see even legacy systems its even playable on just probably not maxed out like you guys are playing. Cheers

ArenaNet is good about less-than-cutting-edge systems for their games. My Vista-era Core 2 Duo w/ Radeon HD 5670 was getting 20-30fps at median settings during the beta weekends and at those times the game client was CPU-bound. Anything of that era or newer other than netbooks should do okay.

By way of comparison, I have a little HP netbook with an AMD E-450 chipset. That tops at around 8fps at minimum settings.

On my M14xR2 (no overclocking) the frame rate is limited by the 60Hz display refresh.
