Dell goes Warcraft crazy

WOW

Considering that you can get a solid 30 fps @ 768 x 1024 in WOW with a measly GeForce 6200, these notebooks are utterly gratuitous.

wrong

The graphics actually are not low quality.

yes Blizzard have done an excellent job with scalabilty so u can get decent framerates on some extremely old graphics architectures.

But crank those graphics up and crank the resolution up, spell effects, grass clutter density etc then go somewhere like shatt or anywhere where there is alot on screen (alot of characters with spells going on for example) now watch those frames drop like a ton of bricks. (below 30fps)

The graphics are actually very very well done if you study them. Kudo's to the 3d artists at blizzard they did a top job.
