3650 And Wow?

[Gr4vitas]

Just a quick question, shouldn't an HD 3650 play world of warcraft pretty damn well? I figured you should be able to max out wow and run it fine with a 3650.

Depends on the resolution and quality settings, as well as the rest of the PC.

Assuming the rest of the PC couldn't bottle neck it. And at resolution of like 1280x1024.

I would think so. I don't play anymore, but unless they've added a lot more graphical complexity since Burning Crusade, I would think that'd run fine. Maybe a little choppy if you got into really big raids or something, but for normal gaming I would think that would run OK.

 

EDIT###

To clarify, I am not familiar with the 3650 directly. I'm basing that on knowledge of other cards that the 3650 seems to match up with in review benchmarks.

Thats essentually what I thought, so I told a friend to get one for an upgrade and he says he can't max out wow and is sort of dissapointed.

Depends on the resolution, but it should do fairly well

Is he running the game with a lot of addons? A bunch of addons can take a toll on FPS.

Well in 3.0.2 the gfx in wow were updated.. everything has shadows now, even your own character. textures i think look better especially in WotLK. only thing that kills my card is foliage that makes the game choppy more than laggy.
