Hardware Requirements

Post by TUTANOTA » Tue Apr 13, 2021 4:52 pm

I have looked around the website and I have not been able to find a minimum hardware requirement to run this version of WoW.
We use a lot of different laptops and desktops to play here. The last update left us with not being able to run the game here on our old Lenovo T400 laptops because of low framerate. Before we replace those laptops, we would like to know the hardware requirements that you might recommend. We of course are running Linux Mint 20.1 and using Wine with excellent results on all computers until recently.

Hello,

To run the latest version of World of Warcraft smoothly, you should consider the following minimum hardware requirements:

Operating System: Linux (using Winewhere am i)
CPU: Intel Core i5 or equivalent
RAM: At least 8GB
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 / AMD Radeon HD 7950 or equivalent

If your Lenovo T400 laptops do not meet these requirements, you may need to consider upgrading or replacing them. Happy gaming!
