WoW, Upgrading, and You
2009-10-09
giving you Mac gamers the lowdown on what it takes to run World of Warcraft. For those interested in how a LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH rig handled World of Warcraft, go right to the benchmarks I've included at the end of this article.
Judgement:
I'm going to start with a little list of MMORPGs I've played:
Shadowbane - shitty graphics (sorry, no other word for it); extensive stress due to crowding (many players on-screen at once due to guild wars)
Lineage 2 Open Beta - good graphics, lots of crowding (it was a big beta). Risk Your Life Open Beta - great graphics, little to no crowding (was a Korean game)
Final Fantasy XI - amazing graphics, overcrowded areas like like Quifim and Kazham
City of Heroes - good graphics, way too much crowding (man, that city needs a lot of heroes...)
SWG 14 Day Trial - Played it for 2 minutes, got bored, uninstalled it.
I also play graphic/gameplay intensive games like Warcraft 3, Battlefield 1942, etc. etc. etc.
The reason I wrote that is to tell you that my experience with games vary, and I know which specs are the best for which type of problems your computer will encounter. Problems with graphics and problems with crowding may both result in lag, or even link-death (disconnecting), but they're working with completely different parts of your machine.
