What Laptop That Can Run WoW @ 60 Fps?(1920x1200MAX)

Hi Friends!

I Was Wondering When Is Laptop With 98XX Mobile Grafics Coming Out?

Because Apparently WoW Doesn't Detect SLI And If You Buy The Most Powerful Laptop On The Market With Dual 8800GTX's Essentially WoW Will Only Detect 1 Of Them And Your Going To Get Probably Arround 50 Fps(1920x1200 MAX) In Outland (According To Some Youtube Guy Who Has Dell 1730 SLI 8800GTX) I Would Imagine During The Raid Time This 50 Will Turn To 30 - Ish If Your Lucky...

So I Guess My Question Is This: When The Laptop Can Be Powerful Enough To Give You 60 Fps During Raid Time (1920x1200 MAX)?

 

none. you'd need a desktop for that.

 

You people spoiled to insane resolutions. I'm perfectly happy with 1280x800 or higher.

Why The **** Do You Capitilize Everything?

 

Im thinking a laptop that has a 7950 GTX could run it maxxed, maybe even one of those DDR3 8600 GT's, my m9750 had no problem running at 1440x900 maxxed out with 60 frames a second, even in raids. In Shattrath though, I think its more about your processor than your graphics card when it comes to frames. I could get a dip in there to about 35 or 40 FPS.

 

The 9 series are just a refresh of the 8 series, there is no performance increase

 

wait for nvidia's 10xxxxxxxM ultra card

 

Seriously, what is the deal with that?

Oh, and it'll be awhile. I don't understand why you need 60FPS for WoW.

I mean, Counterstrike or Unreal, but no way can I even tell the difference between my 40 FPS and 60 FPS in a game like WoW.

 

If someone types in all caps, it gets transferred Into This, With All First Letters Capitalized. Common Feature On vBulletin. I'm not sure whether it's more annoying that the first letter is capitalized or that he is actually typing in all caps.

Aren't any rates above about 30fps pretty much indiscernible?

 

I 2nd that. all newbies should stop asking the same question over and over again.

 

ok, i don't have that resolution monitor, but i have a C2D 2.0GHz Santa Rosa CPU, 2Gigs of RAM 667MHz, and a DDR2 8600M GT 256MB, and when i still played back in january and raided, i had EVERYTHING maxxed at 1440x900 resolution, got 60+fps easy. even when i went into windowed mode and it dropped it down to 40-50fps, and guess what? no difference whatsoever. WoW is NOT a game where more than 30-35fps is needed.... this def. isn't CoD4 or UT3 or any of those games that need it. i'm pretty sure you can't even see more than 35fps anyways. take a computer running wow at 35fps, and one running it at 60fps.... there is no difference. at above 35fps the numbers just become a thing to brag about how "uber" your computer is.

 

I've asked that why is he types in capital letters like that too it's so annoying to read!

But as far as the difference between 40-60...I think their is a big difference I mean...

First of all, you can't really have 40FPS constantly so if you have 40FPS in wow, chances are you a dropping down to 25 or 30 FPS in battles or in cities which makes a huge difference in the gameplay...

The Vostro 1500 I have gets 60FPS everywhere with 1400X900 resolution and I've played on computers that get like 40 and it's just not as attractive plus its hard as hell to PVP when it drops in the middle of a fight.

 

The difference between 35 frames per second and 60 frames per second is DEFINATELY noticeable. When it comes to 35 frames a second and 60 frames a second in almost any game I can tell the difference immediately. Now if its something like 60 frames a second and 300 frames a second I cant tell the difference. While playing UT3 the framerate fluctuates alot from 40-60 making it hard to aim, but in a game like WoW all you have to do is time things and click, no need for aiming so anything above 30 FPS should be fine.

 

I've read and heard somewhere your eye can only see up to 60FPS...After that it looks the same.

Either way we are kind of changing the point of the thread. Sorry!

 

I Know Technically You Don't "Need" It, Like You Can Do All The Tasks In A Raid With Low Fps, But 30 Feels Too "Flickerish" For My Eyes, Sorry. I Guess I Have Sensitve Eyes!

I Guess I Have To Wait For 10xxx To Come Out Coz 98xxx Is Almost No Improvement...

 

I would gladly install WOW to prove to you that a 7950GTX can max out WOW, but I swore never to play that hideous game and I never will.
I can max out HALF LIFE2 at over 50 fps for the love of God, WOW sucks compared to that.

 

Please stop posting in all capital letters, just type in all low caps, it would be easier to read.

If you can afford a 9 series card then you need to invest in a good LCD monitor and get rid of your CRT. Because the only way you are seeing flickering is if you use a CRT monitor, use a crappy LCD monitor, or have a broken graphics card.


Stop Posting In All Caps. Stop Posting in All Caps.

 

Umm I Don't Have CRT Lol I Use Laptop. It's Good Screen WUXGA, The Game Doesn't Flicker Above 50 - 60. I Mean 30 Fps Like A Little Choppy When You Look Arround Do You Know What I Mean?

I Guess Your Eyes Aren't That Sensitive.

And To The Guy With Car:

 

thats not flicker, its choppiness

 

24 FPS is enough for movies to look smooth and 30 FPS more than enough for TV, but that is because when you video things, you get blur on fast action, which tricks your eyes in to not noticing. With rendered images though, every frame is sharp, so you need high FPS not to notice it at all. However, most people should be fine with 30+ FPS.

As to all caps... he's a WoW addict, need I say more?

Oh yeah, if you are having choppiness problems, you should also make sure vsync is turned on. Lots of people confuse taring for choppiness at moderate to high framerates like you are getting.

 

My V - Sync Is Off! And Thanks For Your Post! It Was Very Smart When You Said Us Why Movies Aren't Choppy Looking.

 

Try turning vsync on. It might improve your experience. It could likely decrease your framerate a small amount, but if you are experiencing taring, which you probably are if you have vsync off, the small drop in framerate is almost always worth the loss of taring.

 

No I Would Rather Have More Fps Without It

 

lol, fine. If you aren't willing to try things, there's no point in trying to help you.

 

I played WOW for more than a year with the sound completely muted and V-Sync on with great performance. Then when Voice Chat was introduced to the game, patch 2.3 i think, I decided to check it out but my sound was all fcked up, buzzing and crackles. After reading forums and changing every sound option I stumbled across a thread that said cut V-sync off. After that the sound was fixed so I would recommend leaving V-Sync off unless you have tearing.

 

i have constant 60 fps( 55 in raid) with only one 8700m gt
60 fps anywhere with sli on.

at 1400*900 and max settings

 

That sounds like poor coding to me. vsynch should only effect graphics.

 

That problem may be fixed now I don't really know because after a week or so using the in-game voice chat I went back to using Ventrillo and just muting the game altogether.

 

Dudes, give it a rest.
As I said, a 7950GTX can do 60fps@WUXGA.
If not , the next best thing is the 8800M GTS.

 

In that case, unless he is using voice chat, he should be able to turn vsync on with no problems, correct?

 

The Point Is To Get More Fps Not Minimize Tearing.

And To The Guy With Car:

 

Hasnt You question already been answered?

A single 7950GTX runs WUXGA 60+

 

Don`t you see he`s just being a smarty pants ?
I mean seriousely,maxing out wow?

 

:laugh::laugh:

 

Can you just not read, or is your inability to comprehend. You come to ask questions, EVERYONE floods you with answers, and you STILL keep asking the same thing. It's WoW man. Come on.

What GPU do you currently have?

 

Can You Please Not Type In All Caps Really Its Annoying As **** To Read

 

To be honest, I'm happy with 1024x768.

That was 6 months ago......

There are newer drivers and everything........

 

I vote this the most annoying thread of 08. I know it's early, but I feel the need to nominate.

 

I absolutely agree.

 

seconded......

@OP: do you understand yet? Eleron himself has an 7950GTX, so you either can trust one user with a problem or multiple users who are reporting that it runs fine.

Whats the user anyways if we cannot perceive the difference in FPS?

 

Wow is one of the most intense games there are, its more stressful than some of the best looking games out right now at MAX

 

Oh yeah seriously. World of Warcraft puts Crysis to SHAME!

/sarcasm off

 

Yes, most moms, dads, and grandparents would agree.

 

let me tell you the truth, my 8800m GTX can only run WoW at 15fps with low setting under 800x600. so get Quad 8800GT cards if you want 60fps

 

To the OP, you realize that even if you get 400 FPS, if your problem is tearing it's still going to look just as bad as if you had 40FPS with tearing? Just turn v-sync on for a little while and see if it solves your problem, if not you can always just turn it back off and get a laptop with quad 8800GTX's like nirvana said, that might fix it. I can't guarantee 60FPS on that either though, WoW is an exteremly GPU intensive game.

 

Exactly what I was trying to get across. BUT SOME PEOPLE TYPE IN ALL CAPS AND FIXATE ON FRAMES PER SECOND.

I also support the "Most Annoying Thread of 08" nomination.

 

He clearly doesn't understand what tearing is. I think he's only in it to achieve as much FPS as possible to e-peen brag to his... um... guild mates/friends?
