2405W and WoW (World of Warcraft)

[KevinH]

Does anybody know if Wow can support the 2405W's native resolution? If so, has anyone played the game at that resolution and how well do you think my A64/X800 Proo can run it?

 

[CALIKUSH]

Yes, WOW supports that rez natively and your X800 pro should run it smooth due to it's almost equal fillrate to the 6800gt and it's 256 gddr3.

yes...I run wow in 1920x1200 and it's almost unfair...seriously

I bet that rocks. I play WoW on a 2005FPW, and that is already cool. WoW lends itself to widescreen very nicely.

Awesome guys. Looks like a 2405W is in my future .

If you are bothered by normal monitors "flickering" at 60Hz, then you may want to rethink the graphics card to drive it. Using a 6800GT that was overclocked to Ultra speeds, there was very noticeable flickering in the lower 25% of the screen as it was trying to render the ground movements. I noticed it, my friend who has the 2405FPW hadn't noticed it at first until I showed him. Now it bugs him.

Swapping to a 7800GTX, or 7800GTX SLI smoothed it out nicely.

Though you may get it to not stutter so much there by lowering options to compensate for not enough GPU power.

But I build my systems to play games at high resolution with nothing held back, and it wasn't handling the large monitor well.

I have the 7800's and wanted to verify that the problem was the video card driving it, and not something that was inherent to the monitor.
