Hello everyone-
I just got WoW a few days ago after getting hooked on my brother's account over thanksgiving break. I'm playing it on a dual 2.7 Powermac G5 with 4 gigs of RAM and a nice cinema display. Can't remember the model of my current video card but I know it's stock (GeForce 6800?)
I cranked up all the video options just to see what it would look like, and, no surprise, it's gorgeous. The only problem is that doing so brings the framerate down to about 10 frames per second, which of course is unacceptable.
I've been enjoying the game so much lately that I wouldn't mind putting some money into a top-of-the-line video card if it means more detail and better framerates. It's a shame to have to set all these parameters low when you see what the game looks like with them much higher.
So I guess my questions are: is it even possible with my system to run the game at full capacity and get a decent framerate (30 fps would be nice
)? And, if it is possible, what video card would you recommend?
Thanks!
