AFAIK, if your dedicated GPU is properly selected, it should have beeen adequate, assuming the laptop's producer didn't cripple it excessively.

(The 5750 was the original minimum, until AMD stopped providing current drivers for it, as they have done with the HD 6000s also)
Thank you so, so much for responding to my note!
Based on the specs, do you think it's worth buying the game and giving it a try? I was thinking of getting the download code via amazon.com... But I'm wondering if any of the purchasing options have any sort of a guarantee if the game won't play on my system.... I see that EA has some refund policies, but from what I can tell, they don't cover GW2.
Thank you for any insight you can lend!
GPU Boss wasn't well impressed with your video device, as per the link in my answer (at the end).
Origin offers the same no questions asked guarantee on all of its own EA games. Ask for the refund within 24 hours of starting it the first time, and it's semi-automatic.
If the Hd 6770m is as weak as GPU Boss' tests show, it may slow down play enough to cause you to lose often when opponents have better hardware. It *IS* a "shooter" game, requiring fast reflexes & confident actions.
