    Cool System Requirements for Cata

    Hi all

    Does anyone know if the system requirements for Cata have been released yet, as I need to know if they are vastly different to WotLK.

    I run WoW from a laptop which doesn't have the best graphics and just need to know if I should get Cata when it's released or wait 6 months to get a new 'puter.

    Hope you guys can help

    Based on current beta, Cataclysm will run slightly slower than WLK on old computers, maybe 5-10% difference.

    And no, there is no official info of any kind.

    Trolling should be.

    I can't see any big difference in zones like Deepholme, but I have a huge fps loss in Uldum for example. But Deepholme looks better than Uldum, so it might be an optimization issue.

    I think he meant the framerate loss from the debug code being enabled.
