i have to RMA my card...(how long does it take usually) for EVGA that is

i dont wanna have to run just windows on a basic PCI card...

what would be the absolute lowest card i can get to run at at least 1024x768 with just basic settings
 
I'd say the x1300 / 7300 series. A lot of this will depend on the other components in your computer though.

I am running a x1400 in my lapptop right now and at the widescreen version resolution of 1024x768 I am running bottomed out settings. Though it being on a vista OS doesn't help those.
 
ive heard that it will take 2-5 days for a evga rma so really man dont waste money to buy a card.
 
Totally scratch what I said, it will more than run it. My laptop was in some kind of power saving mode since it wasn't plugged in.

eVGA overnighted me my new 7900GT a while back, with the new shipping label in the box. The whole turnaround time from me calling to get the RMA to putting my broken card in the box to ship back was a few days max, and only because the RMA was put in over the weekend.

I wouldn't bother buying a new card.
 
FYI - I just bought a 7600GS for a friend who only plays WoW. He can now run the game at all max settings at 1280x1024, not sure about any AA/AF. I did not measure his framerate, but it was probably in the 40s or more depending on the area he was in.

His specs:

AMD Sempron 64 3000 socket 754
1 GB RAM
100 GB HDD
7600GS
Onboard sound

Runs WoW like a champ and I got the card on Newegg for like $70 after mail-in.
 
I run WoW at 1680x1050 native, all options in the basement and get around 30 fps on a 7300 LE.
 
I'd run it on a 7600GT. Might run on lower, but it'll run pretty well and won't cost that much more than a 7300 series card with a rebate.
 
My wife's laptop has the 950gsm chipset. She couldn't turn anything up, but had playable frames (20 at the lowest, usually right on 30fps). At first, I blamed the video, but when we added a gig stick of ram, she can almost max it out and still get the same fps.

eVGA are very good at RMA's. The cross-shipping method is great.

they say i cant cross ship it.. i think thats BS because i got the card directly through them
 
my computer at work runs wow just fine.

Its an a64 3500+ with 1gb ram, and integrated intel graphics, running VISTA

WoW doesnt take much to run

I have the same setup and a 6800 ultra and still get low fps(~30) in crowded areas at 1280x1024...
 
I think most cards that's a PCI-E card should be able to run it. I ran it for months with a ATI 9800 Pro at 4x AGP
