Graphics cards for World of Warcraft.

You let him use that video card with that cpu and you call yourself a friend!!!

Don't play WoW but have heard that with the expansions it has become very ineffiecient and will suck up fps for no reason.

Might be wrong but why not just keep the current card as it is still decent and see how it goes.

My 4870 512mb ate that game up with no problem (stock speed cpu at the time too, x3@2.6) with slight choppiness at only the most intensive regions of the game. That card is pretty cheap now, and will be a huge upgrade from an 8800gt. Just my 2 cents.

Not my fault. He had the computer when he showed up here. Check my location.

Whoops. It used to be in "More Information". Anyway, he's a new (relatively) company hire here in Saudi Arabia.

Nvidia's do run the game a little bit better, at least before the last Catalyst they did.

My 4870 runs the game perfectly at 60fps on full settings however (actually my 4770 does, I tried without xfire), everywhere except Dalaran.

He decided on an i7, GA-X58 motherboard, and a 4870. If he thinks he needs it, he will get another 4870 later.

dirtmountain, thanks especially for the processor link.
