Blizzard Entertainment World of Warcraft Collector's Edition for Windows
Problem for Blizzard Entertainment World of Warcraft Collector's...

Still lagging in WoW!




By fixyaistvan on May 03, 2009

" "
I have 2 G RAM, a graphics card with 512 MB DDR, a Pentium 4 with 1.80 GHz, and an internet connection speed of approx 6 Mps, but I still lag a LOT on WoW. Admittedly, I am not that great with computers, but my friend has basically the same specs and he can run WoW with everything turned up and never lags. I have all the in-game settings as low as they will go and have set everything I can find on my computer to "performance over quality" or its variation. Is there some setting somewhere that I may have missed that will fix this?

Assuming you mean a bad framerate and not actual 'lag', the problem would appear to exist in your processor, as it is old and outdated. and only just fits the minimum requirements to RUN THE GAME, not run the game well.

Answer: You should upgrade your CPU to a Pentium Dual-core at least.

Minimum: Intel Pentium 4 1.3 GHz or AMD Athlon XP 1500+
