    Not good.  Send it back if possible and get the below card instead.  Much better....

     

    Low Profile PCI-Express cards below to consider for the 16X PCI-Express slot systems

    This is a new type of video input, not too familiar with it, so someone else will weigh in with what they know.

     

    Get the other card, cancel the X1300.  Will not play WoW well at all. 

     

    Good luck

    Not really......

     

    WoW is a graphical intensive game by all reports and it likes a nice card, not a low ended one unless you want to turn down the graphic settings even more including the resolutions to see how much of an improvement you get
