Do I need to upgrade my GPU?

[TyGray]

Well I asked for building advice on here before building my new computer a while back. My specs are:

ECS IC780M-A AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard
AMD Athlon II X4 Processor (2.6 GHz Quad-Core)
Readeon HD 4670
4 GB DDR2

If you need more information i'll get it to you but anyway after the new World of Warcraft patch it seems like the game wont let me run my graphics at anything higher than "Fair". Which is pretty low on the graphics slider bar in-game. I was wondering if my GPU wont handle it.

The 4670 is a lower grade card. From what I know of wow, its not a hugely graphic program..

I'd update your graphics drivers if you haven't yet.

Yea WoW can be run on a 9800XT and i know this from personal experience. Now, with the latest updates and the new expansion they may have changed a few things but a 4670 should support DX10.1 still and so therefor you should be able to slide your slider further. I agree on a driver update.

yeah I hadn't realized its been that long since I applied an update, I did and its letting me choose other graphic options. Thanks for the help, and I can't believe I didn't think of that first haha.
