We all know of that World of Warcraft has an amazing range of graphics, that quite frankly I know absolutly stuff all about. In this amazing first eddition of; The WoW Adventures, we shall be observing what the difference is between the graphics.

The computer we are using today for this lovely experiment is a Dell. Now I must admit, once again, i know absolutly stuff all about it. But what can I say?
Now our first job is to change all of our settings! So here goes.
Main Menu > Video Options
First things first, lets put absolutly everything to the lowest level possible. Everything low, low and low! And everything involving graphics has also been unticked. So how did it turn out, I hear you scream for answers! Well this is it: Click here! (http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/967/lowid9.png)
So the graphics is rubbish. Its like, no offence to Jagex, going back to the old Runescape days...

Which we really, really dont want! However, the performance was extremely good and my FPS(frames per second) was at a sky high max of about 130.
Ok so here goes, lets change absolutly everything to high. Of course, all things involving the graphics improvement have been ticked! My first thoughts involved worried that my computer would crash due to it being so high. Amazingly, it didn't happen! Well, once again I hear you screaming;
"SHOW ME!" So here you go: Click here! (http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/492/highfk1.png)
I was absolutly shocked. Everything was high, ticked... all the bars had been forced as far as they could go and the performance wasn't that bad. Ok, so it wasn't as good as the low graphics but the FPS(frames per second) was still around 60! I was absolutly gob-smacked. So I thought I would show off and take some cool screenshots (well two);

So which do you think is better?

So I conclude, and the first of our mini series ends. Although you may think that high graphics = absolutly rubbish gameplay. It isn't all that bad. Why don't you have a go yourself, play around with the video options and see what you can do!
