I research online and asked my friends and they all say WOW does not require a high end computer to run. My com seems to be more than enough to run wow, but I only get 2 or 3 FPS in fights in 25man raid. I have been trying to upgrade my computer but nothing seems to work. I try setting all graphic settings to low and nothing seems to change. What is wrong with my com? What can I do to improve it?


My PC spec is:
Pentium 4 3.2 Ghz
Asus P5LD2 Motherboard
3 GB of ram
Radeon HD 2600 Pro

Well, WoW does need some strong hardware to render those "complicated" scenes properly.

Unfortunately, based on your specs, I think you'll need to upgrade. Scoot over to the New Build section to ask for advice (make sure to read How to Ask For New Build Advice).

I know my com is not good but i am sure it can perform better than 26 fps in Azeroth. I am sure there is something wrong with my PC.

Ask yourself first: was your computer able to render those 25-character scenes quickly before? Or are those poor framerates a recent occurence?

Your PC is junk and your gonna have to run low settings and low resolution.

Its time for a new rig.

Your system is around what Wow is recommending. Check to make sure your graphic card driver is update and stop all the services that you don't need from the background. Also you didn't tell us what resolution you use?

Well, I think OP was using the lowest resolution possible (if not, I'd recommend you try that). Like hefox says OP, have you updated your graphic card drivers? If you have, have you tried uninstalling the drivers, using Driver Cleaner, and reinstalling the drivers?
