How well does it run WoW?

It runs WoW and other mmos all on high settings with no lag at all. I seriously love this computer. Just make sure to get a better power supply the one that comes with it is kind of weak. Oh and more fans.

I can't remember the exact fps and such but it can run Ultra without much trouble, it's funny because that's the whole reason I bought this pc, my laptop would crash while trying to arena for some odd reason so I picked this up in order to play the way I like. It works fine will run other games on high settings as well Borderlands etc..

I run WoW on ultra EASILY ( with mods running and streaming my gameplay to Twitch.tv too. )

We haven't run WoW on it. But it runs Rift, Elder Scrolls Online and other games/MMOs at full settings without issue. It should have no trouble running WoW.

I bought this monitor and I'm using it with an Nvidia GeForce GT 425M 1 GB and it runs fine, playing wow at fair with 2K res. at 60 FPS.

The answer before me is incorrect. WoW has been made to run on a wide variety of GPUs. WoW runs well on medium on my 2007 gateway which has nothing special and should run great on this laptop, if not at high definitely on medium. Now games like COD that are more graphics intense would not run well on this.

It could. I run WoW on medium to high on most things and it runs perfectly fine. Hope this helps :)

It does pretty well with LoL, as far as I know. I've been getting a stable 60 FPS as long as I keep the graphic settings on low.

It is a smooth running laptop but as for its gaming performance I can't comment. It's not really designed for it. I use it for work and casual web surfing

No buyers remorse here. Got and love it. It does everything and a little more for me. I've tried Windows Vista, Windows 7 (7048), Ubuntu, Backtrack 3, and it all runs pretty snappy. I can play most of my games on it too. I still keep my big laptop around for the heavy lifting: video editing, gaming, and to play with my virtual pc's. I charge the 1000HE at night and make it through the next day (obviously I don't use it constantly), so I can say I am completely satisfied. Heck, I can even check my auctions of World of Warcraft.

For a non-gaming laptop, it actually games pretty well. I've played Civ5 and Guild Wars 2 on mine and it does fine. It gets a bit hot on the underside when you have been at it for a while but overall, pretty good laptop.

its decent for it. its got integrated graphics which kinda sucks, but itll play things like skyrim on low settings, if you want to use that as a benchmark. i havent noticed any overheating problem. i personally use it for gaming as im a twitch streamer and this is my main rig atm.i havent really tried newer games on it as much. it has slowdown with dolphin (gamecube/wii emulator) but runs things like Skullgirls no problem.

I play World of Warcraft max settings, FIFA 2009, GRID, Crysis (gamer-enthusiast), Assasins Creed, World at war, Devil May Cry 4... etc, all those games play very good in this machine.

Not quite, but it holds up well on middling high settings and even on the max on some slightly older games. I also have 4 gb of ram and I don't overclock or anything. On World of Tanks, for instance, I can get a solid 30-40 fps on a lot of maps, and many with water or fog sometimes dip into the 20's. And this with all the stuff on max. I could probably do better with some optimization and OC'ing, but I'm good for now.

I don't know about those 2 games, but I run World of Warcraft and Star Wars on Good settings and it's perfect - I love being able to see even grass moving and shadows I couldn't see before - not a bit of lag. Those 2 games are very graphic intensive and now with this PC I have not trouble at all. LOVE this computer!!

I can not say, several years since I played some good games such as WoW and etc,. I do understand that this quad core is more of a mid performance, very fast. If you played WoW on a dual core, this quad core will move. Also it has Windows 8 which has several performance improvements over Windows 7, you will get a free upgrade if I am correct to Windows 8.1 in next 2 months. I have not overwhelmed this pc running video and spreadsheets at the same time; you may want to check with WoW website what their recommendation is for WoW MoP. I suspect that you will be covered with this GW ur12 model. Good luck and have a good day.

I can't say for sure about this computer but we do have a computer with and AMD A6 series processor and it plays WoW MoP well.

I am by no means a computer expert, but the MMO's that I play run on the highest settings with no problem. The fans run louder, but that's not really an issue for me. I mostly play World of Warcraft and I have the best graphics of any computer I have owned with this system. Hope this was helpful.

I honestly do not know. I think it is a bit cheaper, but packs enough for more games. My frame rate playing WOW went from 35 pfs [ using a Nvidia 295] to over 100 fps using the 650. That is at the highest settings

I've ran Skyrum on full specs, but it will overheat and have some lag. Runs perfect in medium-high specs.
