Having problems with the 7770

[kashifk95]

Hi I have a PC that I built 2 months ago. I recently got a 7770. When I tried WOW on max settings it was lagging. I only installed the driver that came with the card. Could anybody help please.

Thanks

Install the newest drivers from the amd.com website, also WOW is not GPU intensive as much as it's CPU intensive due to the large number of NPCs & players on the screen.

but i have the 3570k @ 3.8ghz. And my bro has a less than 3ghz and wow still ran on ultra settings on his.

does it only lag in cities where there are tons of people, or does it still lag out in the middle of no where?

It will always lag in a city.

Have you downloaded and installed the 13.2 drivers kashifk and test to see if you were still lagging?

i am an owner of 2 7770's and i can tell you honestly, you wont be able to run everything on MAX settings with 1 card. even with 2, i find turning down or off the AA helps alot. dont get me wrong this card is a good low to mid range card. but i cannot run most newer games on max settings. but i notice with 2 7770's overclocked i can run better frames and higher settings then what i could with 1.

so its not your drivers or your card being fualty its the limitation of the card.
