    Got in last night around midnight. Servers were packed and I chose one of the servers with pop that was already marked HIGH.

    Performance at character level 4 (approx 40-50) players on screen including enemies. (PVE ONLY)

    GW2 Settings:
    All settings HIGH (except)*
    *Shadows = low
    *View Distance = low
    *AA = none
    Resolution 1366x768

    FPS (according to fraps)
    50-75

    System: I7-3610qm, 650mGT 2.0GB, 8gb hyperx, 120gb SSD.

    Edit:: System Utilization -
    When running this game the GPU is at 99 to 100 percent utilization.
    The CPU is fully clocked at 8 x 3.12 ghz. Thread utilization is anywhere from 100 percent to 25.

    Good Luck Everyone!

    I tried to record , and used latest driver 306.02 BETA I can cap at 30fps while recording , setting same as above. I think its really good for a m14x-r2 with these performance.
