I'm all for it but just wondering what card for cheap will do it
Doesn't it still run on a toaster?
Yes But it will be hooked to a 46 LED tv, So Id like it a little more smooth than toaster Graphics
Yes, pretty much anything will run WoW.
Mists of Pandora (which I'm making an assumption being the lastest expansion should have the highest requirements out of any of the add-ons) has a video requirement of
NVIDIA GeForce 6800 orATI Radeon X1600 Pro
24, 32, 46, 100+ inch display doesn't make a bit of difference. It's the resolution you're pushing. Look for something that'll play at 1080p.
1080p Is what we are looking at
R7 260X should serve you well.
Looking more the 70 dollar range Its all i got
Keep in mind that the next expansion, which comes out in less than three months, has an engine overhaul. CPU is still key for WoW, but a decent video card can't hurt.
Might not be a horribad idea to wait until Warlords and save a few more dollars for something a bit better.
Hell it will take me a year to get to 70 and need warlords by then ill have a whole new PC if all goes well. This is just a stop gap
If you pre-order Warlords, you get a 90 out of the gate.
"Will take me a year to get to 70"
lololololol
Clearly you haven't played in a while. You can get from 1-90 in about a month of dedicated leveling, and if you pre-order, you get an instant 90.
Radeon 265 or 270. Buy my things.
So Let me get this, I own the first WoW with no expansions but If i pre purchase Warlords I get a 90 to start with
They I am def gonna be strapped for cash but hey its gonna be epic
Or 63 and I get it all including Warlords
I can get my hands on a 9800 GT 1gb for free will that run wow For the time being at a decent Frame Rate
That will probably run it at max settings. I ran it with an 8800 GT 512 at very high settings.
Nice, I can get my hands on one from my fathers extra bin at his house
Bought a Saphire Radeon 7770 1gb GDDR5 83 bucks Couldnt pass it up
