what card for WoW?
- Thread starter Droolinggimp
- Start date
7850 is fine,i run everything on ultra except for liquid detail which is on high as the GPU has to render everything twice for the reflections. Blizzard themselves suggest leaving this setting on high unless you have a high end card.
Tbh WoW is far more dependent on a good cpu.
AMD or Nvidia are fine. You won't get uber performance increases out of an Nvidia card. Either sides card of a decent spec will be like bringing a Ferrari to a push-bike race, so don't let anyone tell you changing your Ferrari for a Lambo will make any real world difference.
WoW runs better on nVidia, it's just a fact.
He is buying a new card, not swapping current gen AMD for current gen nVidia.
Why neglect the edge one brand has in the title he wants it for?
I seriously doubt 7850 is fine. Have a 7970 oc'd and i5 at 4.6, on ultra in jade forest sometimes it dips to 30's.
And if he only plays one game?

Is there any particular reason why your current card wont work in Windows 8? Maybe start a thread on that, and try and get your current card working. If your on a budget i cant think of a cheaper way of solving your problem.
I did start a thread on my current card. Its something to do with the new drivers from nvidia. The craphics are all corrupt in windows 8 I didnt even try to load up WoW or anything else as the screen was pretty impossible to read.
I have tried rolling bak drivers but nothing happens. I used driver sweeper (iirc) to remove all traces of the cards drivers but it cleaned out my onborad gforece drivers and had to install thoses again. Its a real pain as the card is fine and works fine in W7. I have googled lots about the known issues and nothing is coming up to fix it.
Thats true. I do only play one game really. I do dabble in Simcity4 and a few others but not as much as WoW. I purchased the GT440 purely to play WoW last year as I found out it was sufficient to wows needs and mine. The on board didnt do anything.
