WoW monitor : high refresh rate VS wide angle

Hello !
I’m looking for a new monitor and Idk if I should go for 21:9 monitor with normal refresh rate or a 16:9 high refresh rate one.

I’m running wow on a laptop : acer nitro 5
i5 9300h
gtx 1050

I get between 90 and 110 fps with medium setting (medium setting if good enough for me graphically).

Will I be able to run a 2560x1080p monitor without loosing too much performance ?
Will I be able to take advantage of a 100Hz or 120Hz monitor ?

Any advice is welcome :slight_smile:

Yes.

Yes.

I prefer wide screen personally. Mileage may vary.

I’m absolutely loving WoW on my 34 Inch Ultrawide!!! The ultrawide is dreamy…
3440x1440. Performance will be based on your graphics card… not your monitors refresh rate… 120hz vs 60hz refresh wouldn’t even be noticed on a game like WoW by most people. My only issue… I sometimes loose track of my mouse when the screen is really busy…

Look up some of the mouse cursor weakauras. Most are just a white circle but you can customize the colors and/or glow to make it a lot easier to spot.

ya, I tried one during Bfa, can’t remember which one it was, but didn’t care for it. I’ll have to look again soon

Thanks guys !
I’ll go for a wide screen :grin:

This one seems nice :
INOVU 29" LED - CS2900
It even has 75 Hz

Have fun !
