While World of Warcraft gained a lot of bells and whistles since it launched a decade ago, it’s not the most demanding of games. Though it can get a bit dicey with everything on ultra while fighting through a massive raid.
Despite the new character models for all the older races, it looks like Warlords of Draenor is going to be keeping things nice and easy when it comes to system requirements as well. Blizzard’s just released the minimum and recommended list and you could probably run it on low with a toaster.
