My machine is pretty low end but I installed WoW on it for kicks and it actually runs! I keep getting a crash error after long sessions without any other problems and I’m hoping it’s something I can fix that isn’t related to my machine being not-so-powerful.
Anyone running WoW on a low-end rig below specs and having a good time with it?
Yea it can run on much lower. I imagine the problems will show themselves running large BGs and raids.
Yup. Even my graphics card which i did update…still low end. I’ve no problem at all, even at the loading screen and i average between 59-67 frame rates. Yay for me! 
I’ve had no lag so far which is nice
My amd fx6300 is about +7 years old, or maybe 10, I forgot when I built it. I get about 40-60fps but I know it’s entirely cpu bottlenecked because the rx580 in there is almost falling asleep.
I really need to get a new mobo/cpu like a mid-range ryzen so the rx580 has something to do.
Yup, issues with more than 20-25 players is when things icky.
They’ve played around on their system-settings but ‘1’ literally makes my spells invisible lol.
And I don’t think some people here know what ‘low end’ means lol…
I’m playing below min specs. Definitely far from a ‘good time’ but it’s tolerable in some aspects.
Near the end of BFA my PC was reaching the end of its days. I was playing on graphics settings 1 and trying to raid mythic Nya. The Hivemind fight because of all the adds was literally a powerpoint presentation for me. I basically had to sit that fight out it was so brutal. I upgraded for SL and now run on 10 with zero problems.
Min spec is still kind of like “requirements to run it with minimum acceptable image quality and performance”. What that actually means is kind of subjective, though.
Unless your hardware is truly ancient, it should still run. You may just have to make compromises you don’t want to make (e.g. reducing visual quality to super low settings) to get a playable frame rate.
My system is a i7-3840QM with a GTX 680M and 1TB SSD on a 1920x1080 display iBuypower Laptop CZ-17, almost 8 years now. My shaders are quite fine running the game on very high settings at almost max on all, this includes Shadowlands, on a twisted pair DSL WPA WiFi network. I have been playing since Vanilla era and have done almost all the Beta Tests since 2010 and a couple Alpha releases as well, and it all ran fine except for when Blizzard World Latency goes through the roof, or when there are just way too many folks around running whatever garbage addons they have installed. Now, I get that Yield sign by my character Enter World bar. I run CPU-Z and GPU-Z and all are right on specs and all drivers are up to date for everything. Yet, why does Blizzards Dev team continue trying to keep up with the Jones’ when it comes to hardware!? The Hardware industry is always and will always be way ahead of software development! Why can’t they just append driver references and coverage’s for newer graphics cards and processors instead of an increase in minimum reqs!? The dev are lacking very hard here! Folks just cannot and go out and purchase the latest and greatest hardware every time the minimum is changed just to play the game. Especially when so many people are out of work and losing homes and becoming to the brink of destitution due to the Pandemic. Hardware should not rule over everything by default. Blizzard devs and employees can afford the latest stuff because the company pays for it! Real regular folks cannot! They need to set the graphics aspect in scalability instead of placing a hard minimum on the game! What is wrong here! If Blizzard wants to send everyone a latest and greatest Graphics Card, which they can afford out of their board of directors and CEO’s profits, that would be quite fine! While they are wallowing and hunkered down in prosperity, the rest of the world is starving and dying from the pandemic! Give something back to the world! Playing is all I have to do with my spare time pretty much being disabled! Thanks for Reading. Peace and Stay Safe Out There!
Me! Using an AMD GPU that was the Intel AMD collaboration chip a few years ago.
(AMD Vega M GH).
It was struggling hard when corruption was a thing but it’s surprisingly easy now in SL.
It still plays the game well on a 6 and 1080p but I do get the ‘out of date’ alert when running WoW. It’s a bit sad because it’s the latest driver.
I am getting the “Out of Date” still and have load in issues when first loading into any characters, wherever they are, but I just go get something to drink or eat and when I come back to my computer it is fine. My Shaders run on DX12 and everything works perfectly fine for most content. So, I am just ignoring the little yield until I am able to afford an upgrade MXM PCIE x16 GPU for my laptop. Hope this out of date issue doesn’t deter folks from playing, else it may incur revenue loss to Blizzard…that would be a bloody shame!
I’ve got a decent CPU and lots of RAM, but my GPU is below “minimum”. I get the yellow yield sign beside my characters on the select screen, but other than that game runs fine.
I just had the one I built 5 years ago die so I went out and got a hp gaming comp that works fine .

Sorry it took up so much area
I think I’m barely in the OK range for PC Specs but it runs okish, though I do get big Lag Spikes randomly especially on World Bosses. Things also tend to take a bit to Load Slow especially new things I’ve never loaded into like Dungeons, Raids or BGs [Sometimes it ends up crashing on the loading screens. 
].
