Mainstream Graphics Cards in Popular MMORPG Tested
 

Massively multiplayer online role-playing game genre has become pretty popular a while back already, that is why in response to numerous readers’ requests we decided to study the performance if inexpensive graphics accelerators in contemporary MMORPG.

* Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures
* Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach
* Eve Online
* The Lord of the Rings Online: Mines of Moria
* Lineage II: The Chaotic Throne
* Perfect World
* Requiem: Bloodymare
* Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning
* World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King

Now that we tested eight widely available and relatively inexpensive graphics accelerators in nine popular massively multiplayer online RPG we can conclude with sufficient certainty that this gaming genre as a rule doesn’t require a powerful graphics accelerator. Most today’s testing participants ensured sufficient gaming performance in all tests.
