We tried Wrath of the Lich King by using the flight path that connects Dalaran as well as Ebon Watch. We ran on the three-run average, using FRAPs and 65 seconds for the run. We also ran an in-town Dalaran test to conduct our CPU testing, where we were running around the area for 65 secs.

Settings

Even an older game such as WoW cataclysm Gold has a couple of settings that you can alter to boost performance. Be aware of the draw distances and shadows in order to squeeze in several additional frames.

Video Cards

Modern GPUs will not have issues playing Wrath of the Lich King. We tested 20 GPUs that were both old and new to help you determine what is the right amount.

CPU

Newer CPUs boost performance for Wrath of the Lich King But you'll probably be able to survive Northrend without an upgrade to your processor. We played the game with one of our Core 2, Phenom, Athlon 64 along with Pentium 4.

Memory

We tested the game using 1GB, 2GB or 3GB memory. Our minimum-spec test machine that had 128MB of RAM played WoW Cataclysm Classic: Wrath of the Lich King effortlessly after we had lowered the graphics settings. However, we suggest going to at minimum 1GB.

Systems

The requirements for a system required for WoW Cataclysm Classic: Wrath of the Lich King are astonishingly small: Pentium 4 1.3GHz CPU with the GeForce 6200-class GPU with 512MB of memory on Windows XP. There was no equipment that was left behind in our office. What we could find was the Pentium four 1.6GHz CPU and the GeForce 6800 as well as Windows XP with 512MB of RAM. Amazingly, the game performed very well on our minimum specs system, after we removed the quality and resolution settings, however, moving around Dalaran was a challenge and frame rates frequently dropping to single number. Blizzard's recommended specs for a system are an ATI RadeonX1600 as well as a GeForce 7600 GT GT coupled with an Pentium D CPU or an Athlon X2-class. The system we built was using the Athlon FX-60 and an GeForce 7600 GT. After watching how well our minimal specification system performed there's no reason to be surprised that the game played well on the recommended specs system. Our Intel QX9770 top-end system is likely to run the game using a hammer into three CPU cores.

Settings

If you don't have the financial space to upgrade your PC You can consider altering some settings to boost performance. A lot has changed in the settings page since our last time we played within The Burning Crusade.

Video cards with decent specs like the GeForce 8800 GT testing card are capable of increasing resolutions of up to 2560x1600, before taking the performance drop. The setting for view distance is, by far, the largest performance deficiency. Setting the WoW cataclysm Gold for sale view distance lower could affect the quality of your images however you'll experience great performance gains. Then, turn off the shadows and details about the environment for an additional boost. It is also possible to remove the ground clutter radius for a few frames.
