Is This Laptop Good For WoW?

[RicardoZ]

I can't seem to find a straight answer to this question anyplace online so I'll ask here where people tend to know more WoW-specific things:

I'm looking into a laptop that has an A10-5745M processor with an AMD Radeon HD 8610G graphics card and 6GB of RAM (I will probably upgrade it to 8 though, while I'm in the neighborhood). I don't have to have max settings, but I at least want Good settings when I'm out questing or in LFR/Dungeons at 1366x768 resolution.

The settings I want are as follows:

View Distance: Max
Environment Detail: Max
Particle Density: Max
Ground clutter and all that related stuff: Medium/High
Shadows: Off
SSAO: Off
Arthrotoloscopic filtering or whatever it is: Don't care
Weather effects: Lowest, don't care
Water textures: Don't care/lowest/off
Sunshafts: Off/Don't care

Basically I only really care about particle density, view distance, and draw distance.

Also, please don't tell me to buy all the parts separate and build my own, my employer will get me a good discount on this laptop since it's technically "for work", I just want to make sure I can at least play some WoW without lagging out all over the place.

Thanks

With that resoulution,yeah i think you will mate.

The resolution is 1366x768. I looked it up on YouTube and found people getting results I would consider acceptable using the same laptop I'm looking at getting, so I'm pretty sure it will be alright.

Check it:



And



...both of those videos were on systems that are a generation behind the one I'm looking at, so looks like I'll be alright.

Thanks for your reply
