Is your computer ready for World of Warcraft Classic? The system requirements are known and should put many at ease.
In a few weeks, it will be time, as veterans can finally dive back into the classic world of Azeroth, because World of Warcraft Classic will be released. However, some may wonder what the system requirements are for Classic to run properly.
System Requirements for World of Warcraft Classic
These are the minimum requirements: To play WoW Classic “barely”, that is, with low details and few effects, your computer should have the following specifications or better:
- Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit (with the latest service packs)
- Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 or AMD Phenom X3 8750
- Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB / Radeon HD 4850 512 MB
- RAM: 2 GB (4 GB for some onboard graphics cards)
- Hard Disk Space: 5 GB
Of course, a good internet connection, input devices like a mouse and keyboard, and a monitor that supports at least a resolution of 1024×768 are also required. Monitors that can’t manage that should now be considered outdated.
In principle, these requirements could have been met well over 10 years ago.
These are the recommended requirements: If you want to play WoW Classic in all its glory, you’ll need a bit more processing power, as the new version of Classic is largely based on the current version of Battle for Azeroth. Therefore, the requirements here are also identical to the retail version of WoW:
- Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit
- Processor: Intel i7-4770 / AMD FX-8310
- Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 4GB / AMD Radeon R9 280
- RAM: 8 GB
In summary, World of Warcraft Classic shouldn’t pose any difficulties for current computers. Only those still trying to run WoW on their old computer from 2004 may be in for a surprise (or a CRT monitor).
