Legion system requirements are a sizable jump from Warlords

The minimum and recommended system requirements for World of Warcraft: Legion were released into the wild today, and it looks like they’ll be a bit of a jump over the previous system requirements. Blizzard has even added a note that “the system requirements for Legion are much higher than the requirements for Warlords of Draenor.” If you’re at all worried about your system’s performance, be sure to check after the break for a comparison of both Windows and Mac requirements changes.
