Now, the Core i3 5XX has the same graphics core at the same speed, so performance should be similar. WoW 1024x768 'Fair' settings with weather turned downĬore i5 660 (733MHz graphics core) 24.3FPS Of course those into big raids are probably SOL with this IGP.Ĭome to think of it, maybe I'm wasting my time? AnandTech's Sandy Bridge review had WoW benchmarks. 'Playable' to me would be minimum above 20FPS in populated areas.
My prediction will be that it is playable at low settings. It is a Pentium G9650 (basically Core i3 with less cache, no HT, 2.8GHz). Since I'm visiting my parents, I should copy WoW over to my mom's computer to test it.
Of course this notebook uses a CULV SU7300 (1.3GHz) with GS45 IGP. On the notebook I'm typing this message using, with everything turned down all the way I get around 6FPS in town (Stormwind).
