    Before I get the game, I was wondering if there will be any problems with using GT650M + optimus and GW2.

    I was reading online that there was a problem with the game not activating the dGPU. Is that still true?

    I encountered this problem with TERA online where optimus was forced to use the iGPU and it couldn't be modified through the Nvidia control panel (no choice was able to be selected).

    There's a sale for it lasting till Feb 25th if anyone wanted to know.

    Thanks

    I never had any issues running Guild Wars 2 on an Alienware M14X R2.
