WoW FPS Help.

[HumanResources]

I'm not going to imply anything with the following statement...

The issue is you're trying to run WoW on a laptop. I recently built a kick ass gaming computer for $800 and I always run WoW at 60 fps.
You may not like the answer, but your only real option is buying a graphics card and possibly changing over to a desktop PC.

You're using a laptop that is about as powerful as a toaster. That is the problem.

Building your own computer IS cheaper.

Much, much cheaper. I got a pretty kick ass rig for $600.
You'd be much better switching to a desktop, laptops are worthless for gaming.

I suppose I'll try to update the drivers online or whatever you call it.

i lold.

it's easy to build a computer, as dubs has said before, it's basically like legos. the only thing that would be difficult is installing the operating system.

buy a desktop for $400 or so, install a good video/graphics card ($100-200 depending on how good you want, can be as low as $20, and it'll probably run well), get, find, whatever, a monitor. don't need much, as it's just WoW.

thank me/the rest of tbt for saving you $2,000.

or, you could buy some overpriced alienware laptop for about the same price, and still get a better deal than that overpriced macbook.

doesn't wow run on pretty much everything? i haven't researched it, but isn't it pretty simple in terms of what it requires to run?

personal experience: my computer was $400. it had no video card, which i realized i needed it after i got it as a gift. (it ran portal/tf2, but with *censored.2.0*ty res/graphics and lots of lag)

go to best buy not knowing what the *censored.3.0* i'm looking for
spend $150 on a graphics card
*censored.3.0* yeah, settings on high in tf2, running a solid 30 or so fps. because i'm a whore for models and details and *censored.2.0*.

get a pc and stop *censored.4.1*. laptops were meant for casual stuff, not gaming.

Well then *censored.3.0* it, I'm never going to buy a desktop lets just get that out of the way.

If you're never going to buy a desktop, then you're never going to get to play WoW at a decent FPS ever again.

Deal?

lolwut.

Is it just me, or does it always seem to be the case that the console gamers are console gamers because they 1) don't know what a good computer is 2) can't build a good computer for a cheap price and/or 3) suck when it comes to 99% of things computer-related

 

[Coelacanth]

PC gaming ftw!

[Pear]

If a new computer or graphics card really isn't an option though, make sure all settings on the game are as low as possible. Then, go into your graphic card's control panel and make sure anti-aliasing is turned off.
