HiThank you for your interest.It's compatible but it's not enough to run high graphic games.We recommend above GTX650 / 750.Thank you.

Possibly on the highest graphics settings, or one level below. I've run Elder Scrolls Online on the highest settings, Guild Wars 2, Counter-Strike Global Offensive, Aion, Rift, Borderlands, etc., and had no problems. It's a great gaming computer for the price, and I would buy the same machine in a heartbeat, without hesitation.

Yeah it should be great. I also play a lot of games and everything I've downloaded off Steam is runnable on this card. You might not be able to max settings in all games, but it was running smoothly for me on newer games like the new Metal Gear Solid and I get 120+ fps in Counter-Strike.

I understand, this graphics card is pretty great though. I'm into games like Skyrim and civilization BE. with this card I can run them at maxout settings. And even with newer games like shadow of mordor it can run flawlessly at med-high settings. Its a pretty great deal compared to the prices of some other cards.

We haven't run WoW on it. But it runs Rift, Elder Scrolls Online and other games/MMOs at full settings without issue. It should have no trouble running WoW.

Yes. I'm in the same boat and this computer is awesome. Not to mention that it runs all of my online games like World of Warcraft with no issue.

Will this graphics card run Battlefeild 3 on ultra with no lag/ @60FPS?,.. No. I'm almost certain Buffy is referring to FPS and not data lag. I run a Intel i7 2nd Gen. 2600k CPU, 16gig 1600mhz RAM, and a GTX 580 1.536 and with a little tweaking of the in-game video options I have come to a very satisfying compromise (60 FPS) but just a good GPU won't cut it. The CPU, GPU, and Ram speed go hand in hand. Your cpu speed is critical due to the fact it must be fast enough to keep up with your GPU. Investing in a high end GPU with a low end CPU or the opposite, will usually "bottleneck" the game performance, resulting in low FPS, choppy game play. I wouldn't bother with RAM speeds over 1600mhz. Anything higher then 1600mhz is still a waste of money. Settings like Textures, HBOA, MSAA, Shadows, Antialias Post & Antialias Deferred can all be adjusted in game. MSAA seems to be the culprit in everyone's chugging fps issues. "The people who tested this game at Hard OCP noticed, with their settings on ultra, putting even 2x MSAA dropped their fps from 60 to about 30 on a single GPU card." Also driver updates released from Nvidia over the past year have greatly improved my GPU's performance. I am very satisfied with the 580 and Nvidia. They have made me a loyal customer. FYI: this card will also smoke any Valve game out there. I mean frame rates into the hundreds! I'm a huge L4D2 & TF2 fan =)

I've used it for Skyrim and, more recently, Guild Wars 2 and have to say that for a laptop it's pretty decent. You need to run GW2 and low-medium graphics settings to get a reasonable frame rate. You can't expect a laptop to give you desktop quality graphics. If they put that kind of power in a laptop you could probably fry eggs on it.

OK those two cards should be destroying wow, this card cannot out perform two 7870's. There is something wrong with your graphics configuration, perhaps trying switching off crossfire when you play wow. Either way, both cards should be getting at least 60+ fps in most areas on ultra if paired with a decent processor.

I cant really say, I just use mine for light gaming. As a matter of fact I just ordered a GTX 760 as an upgrade today. (its been a nice card for the price though)

You don't use this type of laptop for gaming. I doubt it would run perfectly on WoW. Actually with 1 gb of RAM, I am pretty sure it would run terribly.

I got your question in an email, and yes this is a god solid card to look at, but also games like sc2 are often prone to lag by the cpu load. make sure you have a good cpu to handle all of that.

Yes though remember part of that depends on your graphics card I would think as long as your not going SLI or even if you are as long as they are not super powered cards you should be good. It's what I am running in my rig right now so I know it works fine.

I can not say, several years since I played some good games such as WoW and etc,. I do understand that this quad core is more of a mid performance, very fast. If you played WoW on a dual core, this quad core will move. Also it has Windows 8 which has several performance improvements over Windows 7, you will get a free upgrade if I am correct to Windows 8.1 in next 2 months. I have not overwhelmed this pc running video and spreadsheets at the same time; you may want to check with WoW website what their recommendation is for WoW MoP. I suspect that you will be covered with this GW ur12 model. Good luck and have a good day. I can not say, several years since I played some good games such as WoW and etc,.

I play world of Warcraft on it, works good but not as good as my Alienware.

It runs it well as long as you are not wanting to run the highest end settings. I run at settings at the default "Good" setting with resolution of 1920x1080. The frame rate averages 35-45. It is definitely not the same as running on a powerhouse desktop, but it runs well enough to enjoy questing, pvp, and even some raiding. I am not an avid pvp or raid player so I can't say how the system runs when there are large numbers of players in confined areas. I have participated in some of the Celestials groups and never saw any issues there. The frame rate is usually on the lower side, 35 or even down to 30, but it still processes well enough to keep up with everyone.
