WoW Forever: is your graphics card supported?

Blizzard lists supported GPU architectures for WoW Forever. Check GTX and Radeon examples, and why technical support does not mean your PC meets minimum specs.

The short version

  • Check the exact GPU model, not just its age.
  • Some supported cards still fall below the game’s minimum requirements.

How to identify your GPU in Windows

Blizzard points to Battle.net for the full minimum system requirements: the supported examples above still fall below those requirements.

  1. Open Display adapters

    Open Device Manager and expand Display adapters.

  2. Record the exact model

    Note the exact model.

Compare your GPU architecture with the cutoff

Blizzard sets the cutoff at AMD GCN 1, NVIDIA Maxwell or Intel Skylake, or newer architectures. Passing that technical cutoff does not guarantee that your system meets the requirements or delivers a particular frame rate.

GTX 750 Ti supported, GTX 760 unsupported: the model matters

The official examples show why a higher model number is not enough. These are Blizzard’s examples; the left column is not a shopping recommendation.

GTX 750 Ti supported, GTX 760 unsupported: the model matters

An installation error does not prove your GPU is unsupported

On September 18, Kaivax referred a player to this list, with the qualification that it might apply to their situation. That response does not establish a GPU fault behind every installation error. Identify your hardware and keep the error code for support before replacing components.
