Hey guys I’ve been playing WoW for a while now and I’ve been able to run it on the lowest settings but whenever I try to bump it up it crashes, I bought this laptop as a cheap way to play wow and the salesman said it would run it fine, have I been had or am I doing something wrong? Also how do I link an image, I’ve got a photo of my specs but I can’t see an option to insert an image.
CPU is very important for WoW, as is RAM, and graphics are so-so with a decent card.
Aight i’ll just write down the specs, so…
Acer Aspire E5-523G
AMD A9-9410 Radeon R5, 5 Compute Cores 2C+3G 2.90GHz
8.00GB RAM
64 bit operating system, x64 based processor
i7 with 16 gigs of ram, and a gtx 980 will get you to max graphics, but I usually run at High settings for best performance.
btw same dude as felborne, just was displaying wrong toon
Bump your ram up and you will be set 16 gigs is best or higher.
How do i “Bump my ram up”?
Basically replace your current ram upgrade* It will be worth it.
Even with 8 gigs it should be fine, looks like the real problem is your graphics is just a chipset instead of a video card. So unfortunately you won’t be able to pump high graphics.

Do i need to buy a part then attatch it somehow or can i get it online?
If you have a desk top, not sure how much upgrade you can do if on a laptop.
rip, thanks everyone though
Buy more ram. Some say you can mix sticks, but at the current price ram is at ( I paid $120 for my 16gb 3200mhz kit, same kit is about $80 now) you can buy a new kit. Also, mixing is never a gurantee to work.
There’s no video card option to add in to this laptop. You could upgrade the RAM like Hildr mentioned. You may check for a driver update for your chipset too.

My suggestion if you can afford to and know how to build them build custom they last longer than a pre-built pc and can be upgraded to last 5+ years.
However if you can’t do a desk top, and due to living conditions such as travel then laptop is all you can do in which case get a stronger one with better graphics.
Will updating my driver chipset improve it? i did that once a while ago and it screwed my computer up, everything was super slow and wow would crash on on any loading screen

Staying up to date on your drivers is anyways helpful for your PC.
Extra RAM won’t matter. The problem is you need a graphics card, but you can’t stick a GPU into a laptop so you’re stuck. If you bought it just for WoW, you should try to return it.
