Will either of these work to get over 60 FPS in wow on ultra settings and still stay above 60fps in any method of playing while at 4K resolution?
512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD
16gb of ram
AMD Ryzen™ 7 3700X (8-Core, 32MB L3 Cache, Max Boost Clock of 4.4GHz)
Or
GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 2070 Super WINDFORCE OC 3X 8G
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core 3.6GHz
16gb ram
512 gb SSD
Thanks in advance
I think for most places either should manage. You’ll dip below 60fps at times, but then i think those would happen at any resolution.
My recommendation is not to play at 10 anyway. Do 7 or drop some settings like draw distance and environment detail.
For 4k the RTX 2070 Super is the better option, but both configs will drop below 60 at 4k because of how demanding WoW is. Keep in mind the RTX 2070 Super is pretty much an RTX 2080, so you can get a feel for the performance you’ll get by looking up old RTX 2080 builds running World Of Warcraft on youtube.

Just realized you’re probably looking at pre-builts. The 2nd build looks like the better option for 4k.
You’d probably see dips below 60 even if you had a 2080ti and 10900k - it’s just the nature of the beast with WoW. That being said, both of those should be more than adequate for a decent experience. I upgraded to a Ryzen 5 3600 and RTX 2070, but I play at 1440p/144hz (which just seemed to be a ‘sweet spot’ for WoW) so I can’t comment specifically on 4k.
I’d agree with Ray that the 2070 Super is a better option for 4k and would take heed of Sal’s advice to turn a couple of the settings down. I played with everything on max after I upgraded and didn’t have any issues, but realized that what I notice when I’m playing is different than when I’m toggling between screenshots looking for those differences.
I’m going to enable resolution superscaling and simulate 4k at different settings in different places a bit later and give some feedback.
This will be with a 5700xt which is just slightly behind a 2070 super.
Okay results, simulated 4k, settings as indicated by screenshot:
Test System:
8700k 5hz
5700 XT just minor undervolt and fan curve
Preset 10, 4k simulated, FXAA High:
~75fps

Preset 10, FXAA, some settings reduced by 1 level, 3 sliders down to 7:
~120fps

Oops, messed up Boralus data. So you get Zul’dazar.
That’s actually pretty impressive.
Msaax8 kills fps though
I disabled it as beyond 1440p I don’t think you really need much aa. Fxaa is basically free and I find it’s good enough
This is perfect thank you
Yeah at 4k/5k antialiasing really isn’t necessary. Can’t wait until 4k+ becomes the standard for gaming, ready to move on from 2560x1440 and the ultrawide fad.
