[Aristocat]

hey guys,

can i do smooth 25man raids on the following system, with shadows turned off (dont need them).

Black Edition AM3 AMD Phenom II X4 840, 4x 3.20GHz
Mainboard ASUS M4A79XTD EVO
ASUS NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-e 16x Card Direct X 11.0
4GB RAM PC1333 Kingston
COOLERMASTER 80+ Powersupply

thank you in advance

Depends on your monitor resolution and what is your definition of smooth.

High settings on 1920x1080 monitor will drop to 5fps during heavy aoe or in adds phases (like on Ragnaros), medium settings or 1680x1050 should be more playable. Just tweak the knobs until you find good tradeoff between speed and effects, and it will be fine.

1600x900 windowed mode
multisampling and filtering on 4x
view distance - good
shadows - off
particles - good

everything else on high. that were the settings i would like to play with. smooth for me is 35+ fps

Will drop to 5-10fps during lots of adds or heavy aoe, but it should be close to the numbers you want otherwise.

okay thanks, but i definitly need a new comp. currently im running wow on an amd athlon 64 3000+ 1,8ghz single core and im on 10-15fps in 25 man -_-

I assume that is without any adds or something? Coz else it really sounds kinda much with 10-15 fps with an comp that old, but I can ofc be misstaken about that.

You can run 25s, sure, it won't run great though. I had a 2.5GHz Pentium dual core, 6GB DDR2 RAM, and a 9800 GT GeForce Green Edition from PNY and was still able to raid decently, with some settings turned fairly high up, but it surely made a night and day difference when I replaced the mobo, CPU, RAM, and later on - the GPU.

nope with boss effects and adds im on 10fps. but my graphic settings are low/medium^^ but well 10-15fps is not playable at all

my current setup:
amd athlon 64 3000+ 1,8ghz single core
geforce 9600gt
2GB ram

i guess the new setup will already be a night and day difference to what i got now (hopefully) ^^

Are you looking at a prebuilt computer at the moment? I suggest you look at i3/i5 sandy bridge based build. Going for an AMD build at the moment isn't the smartest idea.

^an i3 Sandybridge will still destroy any AMD Athlon or most Phenom IIs (I may be giving Phenom II more credit than it deserves here) in gaming.
