Let's get into it.īoralus is one of the most demanding areas in WoW, and FPS can be substantially lower than in other areas (Image: Wowpedia)īudget PC Builds for World of Warcraft/Shadowlands (1080p) Just keep in mind the hardware recommendations below are for Ultra settings (settings set to "10" within WoW's unique graphics slider in the menu), so you can save money by lowering the settings and getting cheaper parts than the ones suggested below.

That said, there's no need for a high-end CPU if you're choosing among the modern CPU stack, as any good mid-range CPU from Intel or AMD within the past couple of years is going to be more than enough to get the most out of WoW, even during CPU intensive moments.Īnyway, let's leave somewhat unhelpful generalizations aside and get into specific requirements for that nice and smooth 60FPS based on your screen resolution, which is a great frame rate for WoW (no need for 144FPS on 144Hz monitors in a slower-paced title like this). It even made my list of the most CPU intensive games of all time (though there are much more CPU-heavy titles than WoW). Especially if you want to run the game smoothly on high settings across all areas of the game, and even more so if you're also gaming on a high resolution display (1440p or 4K).īut with World of Warcraft, it's not all about graphics - the game can be quite heavy on the CPU at times (especially in dungeons, major cities, in raids, and PvP). The graphics in WoW aren't on the level of the latest AAA releases, though that's not the focus of the game (nor expected given its age)Ī GTX 1080 (or more modern equivalent like the RTX 2060 Super or RTX 3060) is still a decent gaming GPU all things considered, so if you want the best WoW experience you will need to invest in a decent mid-range graphics card from the modern range. The game isn't overly demanding, and will run decently on cheaper or older systems, but at the same time the official 'recommended' specs could be considered somewhat beefy.
#WORLD OF WARCRAFT SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS WINDOWS#
Operating System (Recommended): 64-bit Windows 10Īs they stand right now in 2022 as I write this (the developer can always change the requirements of a game over time as the title is updated) I'd say the requirements for WoW are somewhere in the middle relative to other popular PC games.
