So what kind of machine do you need to be able to raid 25man with enough FPS to do your job correctly? :erm:

I currently have a nice 5 year old PC which gives me 5FPS which is not raidable :cry:

AMD Athlon 64 4600+
2GB RAM
9600GT Extreme

I can't think how the above stats can lag in a game this old :p Makes me sad. lol
 
i have quadcore q6600 @ 3.6ghz 4gb kinstong hyper x and hd4890 1gb and i still drops to 17fps on sindragosa 1920x1080 ultra high with leatrix gfx fix and multisampleing at x2, so you looking at 5850 ati if u want 25 +.

though dala etc i get 40+ fps, just syndragosa and p.p 25 my fps is crap.

p.s without multisampleling wow looks really crappy, see pixels etc.
 
quad core amd 955 BE
8 gig ddr3
4890hd

i play at ultra, 1920x1200, no FSAA (at that res it really doesnt make a difference). Get about 40-60 fps raiding average (drops sometimes on add-intensive fights and some others), 100, 120 out and about questing etc.

I had a mediocre pc before and i really struggled with framerate, even disconnecting sometimes. If you want to play this game with all the gfx turned up, you do need a bit of a ninja pc.
 
5770HD, i7 920 CPU, 6gb trichannel RAM = 70+ fps in 25 man with AOE going mad.
 
Ye I have all my graphics set on low which looks crap and I disable most of my addons :(

I dc aswell when things get bad :p Very annoying.

I'll just have to save up and get an i7 upgrade >.<
 
i was having a problem after buying a high end computer. asked around. finnaly after 3 weeks got an answer. since wow is old. it does not always work properly with newer systems. and apparently it runs mainly off RAM.

Ye, I've noticed the RAM being used a lot more when I run WoW. Think I should make my new system have 6GB RAM (want to build an i7 machine).
 
dont forget the cpu, from 2gb to 4gb i only notice fasterminimnize and shutdown, as my windows have extra ram to play with.
 
Yep. So far I'm thinking i7 930 and 6GB RAM. Will upgrade the GFX later. I'm sure my 9600GT is fine for WoW o_O
 
il upgrade to i5 maybe soonish or add another card, but wow cant optimize 2 cards which is pretty lame
