Okay, so I have a pretty old computer and it runs WoW, but I want to minimize lag and shit as much as possible

I went to System and hit low so everythings like that, it's windowed in the only resolution it can be (1300xSomething)

What else can I do to make the game not lag? any addons or anything? Yeah I know quality of game might suck but that doesnt matter, just help me out yall!

find out what your native resolution of your monitor is and try to run it on that with everything low and fullscreen


most addons just add increased lag

on windows 7 at least, right click your wallpaper and there should be a "resolution" option which shows you monitors resolution



most are 1920x1080, but considering you have an old computer setup, its prob something lower

It's 1366x768 (reccomended) is what it says, but I could turn it down if I wanted?

try running it at that first and see how it looks and compare to lower resolutions
