I’m playing with an i7-3770, 16gb ram, and a 1070ti and I’m having no issues playing at max settings. Just thought I would post this as a point of reference.

indeed
just don’t be like me and forgot to change the power plan from power saver…
Using overkill i9-12900K, 32GB DDR4-3600, Corsair MP600 Pro XT 2TB and RTX 3080 Ti on 2560x1440. WoW will not be an issue for years to come.

That depends on the content you do.
Large scale raids and large scale PVP would cause my old 4970k with a 1080ti to choke. A 3770 with a 1070ti is going to be sub 20fps depends on what you do.

Once I get into that content I’ll revisit this post.
I finally hit the new Dragonflight zones…the game is a lot more GPU intensive than I remember it being.
Fully saturates 3080 at 1440p (99% usage, ~340w) with everything on max and doesn’t even hit my 165hz framerate cap (~100-150fps ish)
I7-3770. Playing at max settings. Something’s not quite right…

It was running fine on my i5 8400/RX580 with 8gb. I only did a few dungeons but it seemed fine. Wow doesn’t need much to run good.
Yeah WoW is very flexible in that you can run it on some very old hardware as long as you are willing to dial back the settings. At the same time, it can make very good use of newer hardware when run at max settings, with ray tracing, etc.
Wow even still supports DX11 SLI. I run 3x GTX680 in my backup computer.
So I just finished a world boss in a 45 man raid and at setting 7 was getting 30 fps during the encounter, so I think it’s safe to say I’ll be just fine this expansion.
If you’re happy with that perf then that’s all that matters.

Outside of that I get high frame rates for everything else so far, so yeah I’m pretty happy with it.
