    No just wanted to ask I haven't seen anything about the latest expac or if its even more demanding on systems. I have a r3/580m atm but for the 5th time I'm selling an r3 to go back to the rgb screen.

    One big reason if course is I play frozen throne while at work and it looks so bad on a stretched 1080p screen. Miss the extra pixels :/

    I know it's been asked but I'm going to drop my 1600mhz out of the r3 when I sell it what is the max for the r2 memory wise?

    Also xfire compatible with wow or still 1 gpu running?

    R2 can handle 16GB. 1333MHz only. Anything higher will be down clocked to run at 1333MHz.
