World of warcraft Will this computer run World of Warcraft (and all of the expansions) at a decent rate? This is with the 2G upgrade.

It will run pretty well. There's a video on youtube with someone running it with only 1GB of RAM and it's fine.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AykH-zUcPJw

You don't use this type of laptop for gaming. I doubt it would run perfectly on WoW. Actually with 1 gb of RAM, I am pretty sure it would run terribly.

Probably not. The CPU is really good, but the graphics card will probably need to be upgraded to play SWOR on High. For it's price, it's a good computer to play on Medium.

I use that card for wow and never had much trouble from it at all. It's a very good card if you can catch it on sale or refurbished as I did some time ago. I also play many other games on it like Warframe, Heroes of the Storm, Smite, many others.

Jerbs.A, For World of Warcraft and Guild Wars 2, this system far exceeds all of the minimum and recommended system requirements. Therefore, we would expect these games to perform quite well at High or Maximum settings. Regarding Archeage, as the game is not yet released, with final specifications available, we cannot speak to the final system requirements. However, based on the system requirements available for the pre-release version, we would expect it to perform well at higher settings.

It will run for a low settings. But you can always upgrade to a higher graphic card in the future.

I can not say, several years since I played some good games such as WoW and etc,. I do understand that this quad core is more of a mid performance, very fast. If you played WoW on a dual core, this quad core will move. Also it has Windows 8 which has several performance improvements over Windows 7, you will get a free upgrade if I am correct to Windows 8.1 in next 2 months. I have not overwhelmed this pc running video and spreadsheets at the same time; you may want to check with WoW website what their recommendation is for WoW MoP. I suspect that you will be covered with this GW ur12 model. Good luck and have a good day.

The answer before me is incorrect. WoW has been made to run on a wide variety of GPUs. WoW runs well on medium on my 2007 gateway which has nothing special and should run great on this laptop, if not at high definitely on medium. Now games like COD that are more graphics intense would not run well on this.

This card will play it but the frame rates would be sad. Sub 20's probably. Go for an 8600GT or better yet GTS You'll get double the performance for not much more money. Also depends on what processor/ram you have?? Woody

I use a Mac Mini i5 2.5GHz with 8GB RAM. The game plays great for me, though I've only ran it on low settings. Out of all Blizzard games, SC2 plays the smoothest on my Mac. It should play fine on your machine, but recommended RAM is 4GB (2GB minimum). I'd go to at least the 4GB if you haven't already.

So far I've played Navy Field, Star Craft 2, Perfect World International, War Thunder on it and it does not have the best graphic card, a decent card. Upgrade if you're that crazy, Im not a full time gamer.

Yes it can handle World of Warcraft but it still depends on the system requirement of the game that you will run into this laptop.

I play world of Warcraft on it, works good but not as good as my Alienware.

In my experience with this computer, I will say no. It could not run Dragon Age on medium or even low settings, and Minecraft wouldn't even run. I know there is a difference between Java Run games and games that run from your graphics card, however in both cases, the processor in this computer was too weak to run either. If you can get one these with an upgraded processor for a cheap price you may be able to with more success. It's been two years since I wrote this review and the technology has grown exponentially. Just double check any graphics and processor specs before ordering, and if you do choose to order this computer, double check the specs when it arrives. I was promised a 3.2 GHz processor and was sent a computer with 1.9 GHz.

This handles anything like a champ. I got 60 fps anywhere when I played World of Warcraft. With my previous graphics card I was running roughly 35-50. Depending on what I was doing.

I have a Nvidia 2G 560 and play Guild Wars 2 in 3D and have no problem with the frame rate. My computer is a quad core with 6G of Ram which may help ?
