World of Warcraft: Classic System Requirements

WOW Classic system requirements state that you will need at least 5 GB of free disk space to install World of Warcraft Classic. The minimum memory requirement for WOW Classic is 2 GB of RAM installed in your computer. Additionally, the game developers recommend somewhere around 8 GB of RAM in your system. To play WoW Classic you will need a minimum CPU equivalent to an Intel Core 2 Duo E6600. However, the developers recommend a CPU greater or equal to an Intel Core i7-4770 to play the game. The cheapest graphics card you can play it on is an AMD Radeon HD 4850 X2. But, according to the developers the recommended graphics card is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960.

To best enjoy the revamped version of World of Warcraft, your computer should meet the minimum requirements for a more complete experience without computer crashes or framerate issues. Additionally, meeting the recommended requirements will give you the intended experience of World of Warcraft at its very best. While World of Warcraft's first edition is considered old, the features of 40 person raids with worlds hosting hundreds of players at once can still prove difficult for many computers to process. Therefore, in meeting the minimum requirements your computer can process the graphical content of WoW Classic and have a better time raiding with your friends. For those looking to avoid framerate issues altogether, however, meeting the recommended requirements will give you the complete experience of WoW classic in all its glory. On the most popular servers the developers of Classic WoW get queue times of several hours or more. Blizzard plan to fix this by increasing the size of realm queues and they’re opening new realms and are encouraging players to switch to them.
