Can Intel UHD Graphics Run World of Warcraft?

Short Answer:

The short answer is yes; Intel UHD Graphics can run World of Warcraft. But This question is a little hard to answer because it depends on many factors, including the specific hardware configuration, graphics settings, and in-game environment. However, in general, Intel UHD Graphics can run WoW.

Longer Answer:

World of Warcraft can run on some Intel HD graphics chipsets, but some integrated graphics solutions may not meet the game’s minimum requirements. For example, an Intel UHD Graphics 620 integrated GPU can run World of Warcraft at low or medium graphics settings without any problems. However, if you want to play the game at its highest settings, you may need to upgrade your PC with a more powerful graphics card. Especially in raids and dungeons where there are a lot of characters, spells, and effects to render, you should realistically expect some significant fps drop.

Playing WoW on the latest Intel UHD Graphics 770

Intel UHD graphics 770 is the latest graphics solution from Intel. This GPU is integrated with CPUs with Alder Lake, the 12th generation of Intel’s microarchitecture. Compared to Tiger Lake, this new GPU offers more performance while significantly power efficient.

We tested World of Warcraft on the UHD Graphics 770 on a laptop at medium graphics settings, and we got an average of around 30 fps. This makes it a good choice for players whose budget is limited but want to play the game no matter if it doesn’t look that great.

At the end of the day, whether or not Intel UHD Graphics can run World of Warcraft depends on your specific hardware and software configuration. So, if you are curious about how well your system will perform, be sure to test out the game yourself and see how it runs. However, if you want to play the game at its highest graphics settings and resolutions, then a dedicated GPU would be recommended.
