How much FPS do I need in WoW?

It depends on your needs, preferences, and hardware. Higher FPS is generally better, but every system has its limits, and knowing them is important. For most players, aiming for 60 FPS in dungeons and raids provides a smooth experience. If your PC is less powerful, 30 FPS is still playable. High-end systems can target 120 FPS or more for an even smoother gameplay.

Do addons lower FPS in WoW?

Yes, they can. Having too many addons or addons that conflict with each other can make your WoW experience almost unplayable. Review which ones you truly need and optimize your addon collection and settings for smoother gameplay.

Does WoW require a good PC?

Initially, WoW was positioned as a fairly accessible game that could run on low-end PCs. These days, however, its system requirements have grown as the game continues to expand and improve.

Still, this is an issue shared by most modern games, and WoW is no exception.
