    Wondering if there are any P7805u owners with the 1920 X 1200 display's who play "WoW"

    If so, would you please mind telling me your average frame rates in town's or at idle.

    Appreciate it in advance.

    You should get 60fps average in every city except for dalaran, where you will get around 45fps depending on your settings.

    WoW runs surprisingly well at 1920x1200 on the 7805u at full screen with low AA and average graphics.

    Make sure you keep it in Balanced or High Performance power modes as it runs very slow in power saving mode.

    I play WoW once in a while. On windows its 60fps most of the time than 50ish fps in cities. Apple I get 100-130fps and Linux a constant 98fps.
