Hell, I would for Klondike bar. I’m cheap.
There is no Linux company to sell it, it’s just an open source OS. You’d have to buy the rights from every single person who contributed and it’s like ~20,000+ people. Plus there’s like multiple versions of it.
No you really can’t lol. Not good settings at least
Of course not good settings but for 10+ years, old GPUs being able to run WoW still is pretty remarkable. Especially something like a 5090 which is INSANELY overkill. That’d be like if someone bought a titan back then, they probably can still play WoW with that thing just fine lol.
Its gonna be capped by your cpu

Yep, better bang for the buck for wow would be I9 15 gen imo
I’ve just been running a 1080 ti for the past who knows how many years. I’ve been putting off computer upgrades because nothing really required more than that since the few games that end up being truly graphics-intensive on max settings are ones I can live with playing on below-ultra settings.
Though, if I was going to be doing an upgrade, it wouldn’t be because of WoW.

I’m getting a 5090 to play Classic WoW

I assume this thread is a complete troll. On the small chance that it’s not here is a realistic answer for you…
I think unless you are on a 9800x3D with 6200mhz 32-64gb ram you are going to be bottlenecked by other parts of your computer first and 80% of that 5090 will go to waste.
Especially in WoW considering GPU choice in this game means next to nothing and CPU choice is much more crucial. Yes this is even true at 4k+ resolution
Im on a 7950x3D and a RTX 4090. I play at 4K Maxx settings with a 42" OLED monitor. I did not build this rig for wow I have it mainly because I play a lot of other AAA titles on top of workstation stuff that I do outside of Gaming

Yeah, cpu is tge bottle neck for wow
My laptop is overkill for this game too.
14 gen I9
RTX 4070 graphics
64 gb ram
4k display
I would like to get a desktop, but I just travel way too much.

Unless you’re watching the screen from 2 inches away with magnifying glasses on and have a 8k monitor you’re not going to notice much difference between that and running wow on almost any 40 series card or AMD equivalent running on a 4k monitor lol, except how much it costs to have something to brag about that will burn out and die because of planned obsolescence long before most other people even invest in one.
Wow isn’t a graphics intensive game.
I played with a 780ti until a few years ago on surprisingly good settings at 1080p.
If you’re willing to play that resolution you can WOW with pretty much anything
For a very long time. You will be able to play max settings but really you will only utilize a card like that with other games.
Try Cyberpunk 2077.
Is it as beautiful as I imagine?
Up until a couple years ago, I was running WoW on a 970 on mid-level graphics settings without a hitch. Now running WoW on a 4080 super on max settings with no plan on moving to the 50 series.
Sure you could run a 5090 on WoW and likely be fine for the next decade or more. Would be serious overkill for WoW, but if you can afford to spare no expense, go for it.

This game in 8K resolution? I’mma need you to pass that to the left hand side. Hint: I am immediately to your left 
About every 6 yrs, I build/treat myself with a new computer. I am not the worlds best computer builder, but I do pretty well. My last system was an intel i9 9900k OC, 32 gb ram, nvidia 2080ti oc. 1440p monitor at 144 refresh. It did alright playing wow on max settings but was pushing the system pretty hard. The heat coming from the computer was insane.
So I got a wild hair a couple months ago and decided it was time for a new upgrade. I don’t think I have ever used an AMD processor before and the way that the new generations of Intel i9 13900k and 14900k are self destructing, I decided to go with AMD.
The new build, AMD 9800x3d, Lian Li 360 water cooler with the nice display, 64gb 6000 30L trident ram, 4080 super asus tough nvidia gpu, OLED 48in 120hz LG tv. Windows 11.
I always was under the impression that WOW was a cpu intense game. With WOW set to 4k resolution 120hz refresh and almost max settings {a few tweaks here and there} ray tracing set to low and HDR turned on. My cpu runs at max 25%. However, my gpu runs between 80 to 99%. If I turn HDR off, gpu runs at around 65%.
The visual difference between the old vs the new is hands down night and day difference. I will never ever … ever go back to 1440p. the 120 hz refresh is so much smoother than trying to run 4k at 60hz. And HDR brightens everything up.
My visual experience while playing WOW now is so much better. I thought my old system was great, and it was. BUT…there is no comparison with how the game looks now compared to the old system.
In fact, I think I should have went with a 4090 nvidia to give myself some headroom. I’m getting older and money was not an issue so that’s my build. Your milage may differ but not by much. I will probably get the 5090 once prices come down and this 4080 super will hold me over until then…hehe.
It seems like at my settings while playing WOW the load on the cpu is not much, But the load on the gpu is high. I was thinking that the 4080 super would be way overkill, but I was wrong. I watched many many video card reviews but never found any reviewing WOW with a nice graphics card.
Anyhow, this has been my experience over the last few months of playing wow.
It is

what kind of an answer are you looking for here? you are asking if you buy the highest powered GPU it would be good for a game that isn’t really cutting edge anyway?
it’s overkill for sure but it will run the game better than anything else most consumers would buy.
