Blizzard Support created a Battle for Azeroth System Requirements article yesterday. The requirements have increased and we have compared them to the current requirements for Legion. R r Recommended requirements have not fully been listed yet for Battle for Azeroth, so expect this post to be updated closer to Battle for Azeroth's launch. R r r Below are the minimum and recommended system specifications for World of Warcraft u00ae on Windows u00ae and Mac u00ae.
Due to potential programming changes, the minimum system requirements for World of Warcraft may change over time. Comment by tazeel on 2018-01-31T10:43:12-06:00 I have no idea of what there's written in this article.
Comment by perculia on 2018-01-31T10:45:52-06:00 I have no idea of what there's written in this article. R r Basically if your computer isn't strong enough, Battle for Azeroth may run poorly. Comment by scopel on 2018-01-31T10:48:12-06:00 i7-4770, what is this, a joke?
Sep 3, 2016 - Well in short, because Mac users can install and play Warcraft 3 for Mac again. A battle.net account; A modern Mac with about 2GB of disk space. On Mac and Windows and even has online play.
The amd counterpart isn't even on the same level, FX-8310is 50% weaker than i7-4770 Comment by Kekt0nic on 2018-01-31T10:48:46-06:00 lol an i5 for BFA min. Nice try Blizz Comment by ealdrich on 2018-01-31T10:50:33-06:00 I find it amusing that the recommended video cards for macs includes one that never shipped on a mac (GTX 960 or later - though this will work on Mac Pro towers) and drops all embedded Intel video.
Comment by Waterfuzz on 2018-01-31T10:51:49-06:00 Remind me how many cpu cores this game uses? Comment by Kekt0nic on 2018-01-31T10:53:42-06:00 Remind me how many cpu cores this game uses? This game has been a poorly optimized pile of crap for YEARS. I refuse to believe after 13 of them they just suddenly figured it out.
Comment by happiehappie on 2018-01-31T10:56:44-06:00 That u2019s really quite a high bump. My desktop is way below the recommended specs now. Comment by Tiucaner on 2018-01-31T10:59:25-06:00 It will likely run as badly as it always ran, regardless if you have a good PC or not. Unless they've done any sort of optimisation for BfA. Comment by Hydraxion on 2018-01-31T11:00:40-06:00 I just hope we don't have the same problem with suramar and dalaran in legion. I have a 1080 and struggle to get 40 FPS on ultra in suramar it's crazy.
Comment by Vuldrakken on 2018-01-31T11:00:42-06:00 Oh. Thanks Blizzard.
R My.!@#ty laptop is probably not going to be able to carry on with the raid team now. Thanks a bunch. You're meant to be optimising! Not the opposite!

I refuse to believe after 13 of them they just suddenly figured it out. R r No argument about the poor optimization, but those crying because dual-core has been dropped need to realize that graphics APIs, as well as host OS requirements are additional overhead. This isn't 1996, there is more than one process running on your system. Comment by Portrios on 2018-01-31T11:08:11-06:00 tbh they should have updated the amd specs to a r5 1400 minimum spec, r5 1500X recommended, would be pretty equivalent imho - get people to loose their awful piledriver cpu's Comment by Ikarugamesh on 2018-01-31T11:08:49-06:00 I hope the optimization of the game to be on par with the requirements, but I highly doubt that. Comment by hstella on 2018-01-31T11:08:51-06:00 wow im so glad i had the oportunity to upgrade my rig for legion, definetly below minimun D= Comment by Nyarloth on 2018-01-31T11:11:41-06:00 Lol like these recommended settings are going to mean anything, the game engine is so out of date it really doesn't matter.
Like I have an i7 4790k and a gtx 1080 and I still get &.!@ty fps if I try to set my view distance to 10 in the broken isles. Comment by Kekt0nic on 2018-01-31T11:15:37-06:00 Remind me how many cpu cores this game uses? This game has been a poorly optimized pile of crap for YEARS.

R r Oh I agree that people on toasters need to move up or move out but recommending an i7 for a game that people can't even get good performance out of with $1500 worth of hardware because this game is a non-optimized dumpster fire is laughable. Comment by Crystalinn on 2018-01-31T11:22:02-06:00 rest in pieces, BfA. My cataclysm era relic can't support you. R r Ah, 11 years. It's been a good run.
I'm working in Windows 7 and trying to create a bootable Windows 7 partition. I'm working with a computer with no optical drive and the only USB device I have is a 2TB external HDD with a bunch of data. It has 2 partitions, the first is NTFS with my data, and the second is empty and 20GB large.
I've tried formatting the 20GB partition as FAT32 and marking it active, but UNetbootin and Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool cannot seem to find the partition. I don't want to move all my data.
Is only the first partition eligible to boot? Can I make the bigger partition with all my data have the Window 7 boot data without moving all my files? Is there a way to make the second partition bootable? Actually you can do.
Goto your Disk Management (Hope you know the Disk Manager) or Type DiskMgmt.msc in Run Now you can see in the 1st Row Disk0 shows as Dark Blue Border, it means it is Primary Partition. And rest of them are in green border. It's called Extended Partition. I guess your 2nd Partition is Extended. Because you cannot boot from extended partition. All bootable partitions should be Primary. 1) All you have to do now is, open the DiskMamagement and Right Click on the 2nd Partition and Delete it.
So it will become full black.(you need to delete twice) 2) now in the RUN type CMD (Command Prompt). And type again Diskpart Press Enter 3) in that, type List Disk that will show you the Volume list so select the appropriate Disk by typing Select Disk 0 4) now type again. Create Partition Primary 5) after that type again to format the created volume Format FS=NTFS Quick and That's it. Now Windows 7 DVD Tool will Detect your Partition.
For the sake of those that only have a single partition like I did, that you dont want to delete/format, you can shrink your existing partition with a 3rd party tool (I used one called AOMEI Partition Assistant, but there are several others). Once you've done that you can pickup from step 2 of @Kirk's answer to format that new partition (note, you dont have to select the partition, the diskpart utility apparently knows thats the one you want to perform operations on).
Once thats done, to complete the setup for a boot disk;. Assign the new partition a drive letter ('assign' command in diskpart utility). Mount the ISO youd like to install onto a virtual cd rom (using a tool such as PowerISO). Make the external drive bootable and copy over install files from mounted virtual cd rom to the now bootable external drive partition Details instructions are listed here.
