The Graphics Card Requirements for WoW
Blizzard's World of Warcraft places players in the fantasy world of Azeroth. Azeroth's environs encompass thriving cities, vast plains, dark forests, deep dungeons, and everything in between. Bringing the sweeping vistas, fearsome creatures and mystical spells to life means meeting the graphical demands of Azeroth's world. While many computers can run World of Warcraft, the graphics card has to meet some minimum requirements in order to display properly.
