World of Warcraft must have really updated its graphics recently

99% chance they never updated the hardware checker to work with 500 series cards.

I played hots sc2 and d3 with a 580 and didn't get this warning.

the game on max settings looks amazing for its age

RX 580? Sell that shit dude.

I'm curious, why?
1
Miners. RX 580 are going for quite a bit right now.
14
Right :) thanks for clarification
2
It's going for around 700$ brand new. You're going to be able to buy a 1080ti if you sell it.

every now and again i jump on this subreddit and now every other post is about mining. wtf is this anyway?

Think I can get some buck for a 970?

Depends on the market price for that card where you live.
1
Hardware swap and ebay were coming up about £100 to £140 depending on the brand.
So, not really, at least in the UK.

You're still on Windows 10? Even my parents have upgraded to 98.

It probably presumes your 580 is mining at 100% load and you're going to play with integrated graphics :D

i just played wow on my office pc, with a 10 year old dual core, and integrated graphics.

Damn I remember when WoW came out and I had to upgrade from an nvidia TNT2 to an FX5200 to play it. I think it ran at a solid 800x600 30-45 FPS on that setup back in the day. I used to lag so bad in Orgrimmar until I upgraded to a whole gig of RAM from 512mb.

This is Blizzard telling you, in its own way, that you haven't installed your graphics drivers properly.
pcmr once again showing that just because you own a $1500 computer that doesn't mean you know how to operate it. ;D

I had to rollback the driver because the latest one is causing a directX issue with League of Legends.
If that's what Blizzard is telling me maybe they should clear up their alert message. ;D

I love that there is a play anyway button
Minimum recommended != minimum possible, I guess.
There's always this
Or you can play vanilla, it runs on anything ever. Ironically, i find vanilla to be more competitive than retail. Maybe that's because it is just more difficult over all.
Edit: Downvoting me does not make my statements false. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I'd say that's because vanilla was well before they dumbed down the game like at the end of WoTLK/beginning of cataclysm. I think Burning Crusade was my all time favorite expansion as far as game play and difficulty (And the introduction of arena <3). WOTLK being my favorite for PVE content and raiding.
I gotta agree. But based on my previous comment's reputation, there's plenty of weird people that disagree. But i think that might be an age-thing. See, i am not freaking 15. I enjoy highly competitive games, and Vanilla is scratching that itch for me back then as it does today.
Example: A Double-priest setup lets you dot and boost the shadow-priest up to like 50-55% extra shadow damage. And you can force a 50% crit chance with inner focus, and then just dot/mindblast the living hell outta someone. But you gotta work together, and be smart. Which is why it is such a shame that Blizzard is ignoring Vanilla.
If they would get their jackhammer out of their ass and just do ANYTHING with Vanilla, that would be sick. Fix a few class-defects and they would be golden.
Jagex with 07-scape are making mad bank this way, and even fukken Tibia is getting into the game even though that's so hilarious!
But Blizzard gotta milk those customers in those classically obscure ways, so they won't have that. As far as we know right now.

It's a great way to handle unforseen situations. I used to get hardware warnings on L4D2 because I was running two cards in SLI
Heroes of might and magic 2 used to bitch me out because I had 4gb of ram and a 1.6ghz processor* at the time... It required 8mb and 66mhz...
The fuck it, 25 fps is fiiiiiine button
It's fool proof if the script doesn't understand properly your hardware...
So essentially : unlike GTA4 that fucking doesn't understand I have a 3gigs vram card, and claims that I can't alter the settings cause my card is not good enough.
Which you can workaround with a command line, but hell you shouldn't have to do that shit.
