| Would this laptop play World of Warcraft?
Hey.
I've recentley started playing World of Warcraft (only on 10 day trial atm).
However, my computer at the moment sucks.
I have every setting on the lowest, and I average around 7-10 fps.
Sucks, I know.
However, I'm gonna be buying this laptop ( Buy SAMSUNG NP-R60 | 15.4" widescreen laptop - Laptops | Comet) soon, and I was just wondering how that is gonna cope with World of Warcraft?
Please don't tell me "Spend another £400 and update it to this graphic card", because my heart is set on this laptop and I don't wanna spend out more money.
If the worst comes to the worst, I'd quit WoW and just leave it.
I just want to know whether the FPS on that laptop is going to be ok or not. 
Happy Halloween. |

Yes you could probably play on that laptop. And get maybe a steady 30fps if you put the graphics on low. But dont take my word for that. Its a rough estimate based on what I know about the game and other graphics cards. In any case, you are not going to find a better graphics card unless you spend at least 200 pounds more so I say just stick with that. I checked all the lappys around the 300 to jsut over 400 mark and they all have graphics as good or crappier

I'm not bothered about playing on Low or High, cos i honestly don't see the difference. | |

I don't think it would fare well at all with WoW. It's definitely not a gamer, but it should work well with most everything else.

Well either way.
If I got just 20 fps, that's better this heap of junk.
The graphics card in this pile of wank is some SiS shit.
heh.
EDIT - The exact gfx card in this is SiS 661FX/GX Mirage Graphics.
If that's correct.

The ATI Radeon1250M is a low end graphics solution, but it should do as well or a bit better than that old SiS graphics. | |
