An MMO that runs well on a 680M

[EddieHarris]

Hey guys, I have just started my summer holiday from university and as such have some free time to burn!

I wanted to get into an MMO which presents some decent combat systems, preferably ones with unit collision.

I have tried GW2 and TERA however FPS was an issue on both, TERA apparently suffers from a UI bug leaving me with 40fps whilst GW2 similarly drops to 40fps due to GPU usage levels dropping.

I am completely aware that 40fps is more then playable however I am a bit of a snob regarding the FPS I get in games, I really want to be hitting a smooth 60 regardless of whats happening on screen!

Specs:
680M
3610QM
8GB RAM
SSD 250GB

Cheers!
Edd

Dont know nothing about this games but why you cant turn some settings down to get what you want with fps?

IF ONLY IT WHERE THIS SIMPLE!

Basically, these games are poorly optimized (unsure about GW2's current state) so lowering the settings simply lowers the GPU Utility ultimately lowering your FPS further which sucks!

I have a 6990M and I have pretty much all setting maxed out, plus SweetFX and I get 30-35 fps. Be aware that using SweetFX lets you cut out the in game anti aliasing and uses it's own version (less expensive). Try using SweetFX to get a few more fps and turning in game aa off. It also looks a lot better with SweetFX on, no more hazy mist (you'll see what I mean if you try it).

Mobs can attribute to lag and certain areas I've found have dropped my fps, but changing channel usually helps with that.
