    Need a low porfile graphics card.

    Title explains it.
    Hopefully pretty cheap, but able to run wow on high settings with 20fps or something.

    Re: Need a low porfile graphics card.

    That seems ok, it's a cheap graphic card that should do the trick (I currently have the ATI X1600 PRO in my PC now) though I'm buying a new build with a new card aswell, but that card did the trick, it played WoW fine (only played it once though) but it does play Lineage II ok, unless there is a huge amount of people in my screen ;P

    What about this card? I'm not sure if it would fit (should wait for some other people's confirmation/help) it's the same card as yours, has more memory though.

    Re: Need a low porfile graphics card.

    Anyone any ideas about the second card?
    And how much of an improvement would the first card be now? ATM I get around 15-20fps when solo in wow with all setting except terain distance at low and 6-11 when in a raid or a city (With a lot of Addon's btw).

    Re: Need a low porfile graphics card.

    Any card is better than integrated graphics lol

    Just make sure you know if you have an AGP connection or an PCI (AGP is old, PCI is newer)

    Hi,

    The first card you linked to Powercolor HD 2400Pro is a PCI card which is low profile and passively cooled so it looks like it should fit the bill. The Sapphire one at Scan is PCI-E and not low profile so I don't think it's what you're looking for.

    Just make sure the connection types are the same, any low end card is better than integrated graphics.
    I used to have integrated aswell, I bought the ATI X1600 Pro for cheap (60 euro at that time), it's not an amazing card, but compared to the integrated it's 20x better lol

    Your graphics won't be amazing, but if you're able to run WoW on an integrated graphic card, any normal graphic card with more than 128MB RAM should be more than enough to make WoW run stable.
