How does this computer run World of Warcraft? What type of frames and at what setting and resolution?

It runs it well as long as you are not wanting to run the highest end settings. I run at settings at the default "Good" setting with resolution of 1920x1080. The frame rate averages 35-45. It is definitely not the same as running on a powerhouse desktop, but it runs well enough to enjoy questing, pvp, and even some raiding. I am not an avid pvp or raid player so I can't say how the system runs when there are large numbers of players in confined areas. I have participated in some of the Celestials groups and never saw any issues there. The frame rate is usually on the lower side, 35 or even down to 30, but it still processes well enough to keep up with everyone.

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.

Depends what you want the card for. In my case World of Warcraft doesn't do SLI so I got the best single card.

my friend plays LoL on the highest settings possible, i also have an extra 4 gb's of RAM, but it can definitely play Lol on high. I dont have WoW so i can't say if it can handle it or not. This laptop can also play battlefield 3 on medium and Star Wars the Old Republic on low settings.

Yea, I have a very similar pc as yours. It runs very well. It can run almost all the major games. I often play LOL and it runs very smoothly at the highest settings. But make sure you have a >= 400 watts power supply. My dell came with a 320 watts without an extra plug for graphic card. So I also changed my power supply.

No problem running Orcs Must Die 2, Unreal Tournament 3 Black Edition and Warcraft III on Win7. My only gripe with the system is a hardware option to turn off the mouse pad. The mouse pad layout does get in the way with wasd games. In FPS games, if the character randomly shoots or strays to the left then an adjustment in posture remedies the issue.

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.

Yep, runs ok. In game you may have to go to the video settings and change rendering to "software" instead of "hardware" to make it run smooth.

Possibly on the highest graphics settings, or one level below. I've run Elder Scrolls Online on the highest settings, Guild Wars 2, Counter-Strike Global Offensive, Aion, Rift, Borderlands, etc., and had no problems. It's a great gaming computer for the price, and I would buy the same machine in a heartbeat, without hesitation.

If those are anything like World of Warcraft, they should run fine. No lag and the graphics are good.

Mine runs minecraft on maximum settings pretty alright. For a game like that for sure get a graphics card upgrade and maybe another stick of RAM.

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 ?

WoW can run on almost any PC. This computer in particular should be able to run it with no problem at all. I'm considering the purchase myself.

I have mine cross fired with my APU. Runs 60 at high and 35 on ultra. If you have this alone try medium you may get that 60 frames you are looking for.

I play World of Warcraft max settings, FIFA 2009, GRID, Crysis (gamer-enthusiast), Assasins Creed, World at war, Devil May Cry 4... etc, all those games play very good in this machine.

Howdy, just got my MSI GX630-001US a few days ago to play World of Warcraft and Sims3. Before purchasing, I checked out the processor/video card on some benchmark sites. I was cautiously optimistic. I ordered, knowing Amazon has a terrific return policy.The 9600M GT is fantastic! I can run all the games I play on the highest settings without issue. A few small tweaks to the video card settings is all it took to make the Sims3 prettier than it looks on my desktop system. Buy with confidence. This machine is an amazing system for the money!
