Dont think this will effect me too much, i have a laptop with a 3060rtx but im running high settings in 1920x??? i avg 76-100fps. Hoping it doesnt drop my fps too much cause im myself dont like playing with low fps.
WoW would look amazing in like unreal engine, but im sure blizz would lose alot of subs because not everyone can afford to upgrade their pcs.

The way this is formatted, you have the recommended specs interlaced with the minimum.

Recommended specs are typically set under a raid environment benchmark. Meaning the highest load possible. You’ll be fine.

The last couple of expansions they’ve overstated the minimum requirements because they obviously aren’t talking to marketing. I had a friend who didn’t buy Shadowlands because she saw the minimum system requirements and couldn’t afford the upgrade. She changed her mind after I showed her it would run on a clunky 8 year old laptop.

The minimum level cpu is 9 years old. I think everyone can handle that. The recommended specs start with my CPU, 8700k, onow 5 years old, which still blazes through shadowlands with a good overclock. I don’t know why people worry about this. Turn down your settings.

Also, your 3060 GPU in your laptop is not the same as a 3060 desktop version. So you really have like a stock 3050 level GPU.
