Will BFA force you to upgrade or buy a new pc?

Minimum Requirements:

OS:
Windows® 7 64-bit

PROCESSOR:
Intel® Core™ i5-760 or
AMD FX™-8100 or better

VIDEO:
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 560 2GB or
AMD™ Radeon™ HD 7850 2GB or
Intel® HD Graphics 530 (45W TDP)

RAM:
4 GB RAM (8GB for Intel HD Graphics 530)


//Looks like minimum RAM req. is not so much but it recommends i7 processor and i5 for minimum.
Medium level GPU's will be okey for minimum but for high settings they'll fail.
 
I was forced to upgrade last Aug. Prior I had been using a Win XP system on a computer my friend found by the side of the road. He tickled it up and it worked fine..... well at least on super low graphics.. :eek:
$hitty move by Blizz to do away with XP Support.... :mad:
 
I used and loved 'winXP service pack 3' for many years. Tried Vista when released and formatted pc back to XP again after a day.
Windows7 64 bit does not need a stronk computer as i remember, İcehawk. You can give it a try friend.
 
I’m all good now. I got an old computer from work, threw in a friends graphics card and put Win 7 on it! I’m good for now and also BFA! For many years now I’ve had computers that are hand me downs, but a friend of mine can get them up to a level were WoW runs quite good!
Bring on BFA!;)
 
Emachine. That give a good idea?
 
Four years old. Occasional GPU crashes, and typically freezes once per boot up. Probably a hard drive problem, idk. As far as testing the waters with WoW goes, I haven't played WoW since early Legion, and my pc could barely handle the game on max settings. In addition to that, I'm probably done with the game anyway. They would have to bring back healer/dps skirms for me to consider returning.
 
not that old
but i am building a new one soon anyway
want to ditch this i5 intel cpu for amd ryzen
and go m.2 ssd
will use gpu that is in current rig = gtx 1060
new gpus kinda expensive

I guess I will have to buy an eGPU box from aliexpress for my old Thinkpad x230. Expresscard slot will have some use at least.
Sadly I will have to sacrifice 4gb of RAM cos of WoW :( eGPU wont work with 16gb.
 
The Case, CPU, motherboard, heat-sync, and power supply is about a year old, and my Hard-drive, Ram, etc is about 4-5
 
My PC is 6 years old. However I clean it regularly. I just avoid to open too many Internet tabs in same time.

What do you think of my config? Is it okay for BFA?

OS:
Windows® 7 32-bit

PROCESSOR:
Intel® Core™ i5-2320

VIDEO:
GTX550.

RAM:
6GO

You should install win7 64 bit because your system can easiliy handle 64 bit OS's. I'm not sure win7 is still on sale but you can find cracked versions on sharing networks(don't know if you get into trouble in your country). Cracked versions can still get updates.

I think your system will be okey between medium-high settings on BFA release. You can lower down some useless graphics settings like shadows, water details for more fps.

I have an ancient Motherboard and processor like 8 years old :) Upgraded my GPU a few years ago and able to play Legion Battlegrounds. In Cities my FPS drops to 30 but in general i got over 50 fps.

Better invest money into SSD and videocard.

All my friends adviced me like this. SSD is the big deal, they said.
 
My laptop is 6 years old and tends to freeze when I'm bging :'(. I'm afraid I might have to replace it really soon D: But I am definitely not getting a laptop this time.

If it weren't for that, I guess it'd be good to go. Definitely not the best, but can still handle WoW with its Core i7 and 8 GB of RAM. V-card isn't that great but at least it is dedicated.
 
i7-5820k
GTX 970
16gigs of ram
Windows 10 pro.

should be fine really for anything bfa throws at me. but we'll see
 
Many people had freeze/blackscreen/crash problems as i read. Keeping fans clean is the major thing you can do about it. Then you should clean install GPU driver.(Use CCleaner to delete any kind of files left in GPU driver folder) After that install new 'stable' version driver. Check forums in Nvidia or other company's forum for stable versions. Never use windows auto update for GPU driver updates!

If you still had freeze problems try this.(I found this on youtube, it worked for me)
-control panel => hardware and sound => power options => check balanced mode then
click change plan setting => click change advanced power settings => processor power management => then change 100% to 80 or less.
