World of Warcraft benchmark on GTX 1080 Ti: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
World of Warcraft FPS with a GTX 1080 Ti and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 175FPS min 96Excellent | 126FPS min 79Excellent | 56FPS min 49Acceptable |
| High | 228FPS min 126Excellent | 164FPS min 103Excellent | 73FPS min 64Good |
| Medium | 298FPS min 164Excellent | 214FPS min 134Excellent | 95FPS min 83Good |
| Low | 385FPS min 212Excellent | 277FPS min 174Excellent | 123FPS min 107Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 55% | CPU 42% | balanced |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the Intel Core i9-14900K downwards the processor becomes the brake on the GTX 1080 Ti. There is 16% between the slowest and fastest CPU in the table. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
FSR performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders World of Warcraft at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the GTX 1080 Ti with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 175 | 219 | 254 |
| 1440p | 126 | 170 | 208 |
| 4K | 56 | 81 | 104 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The GTX 1080 Ti has no dedicated hardware for it, so it is an option best left disabled.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
With that CPU, the GTX 1080 Ti has headroom to spare in World of Warcraft: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help.
Is the GTX 1080 Ti Enough for World of Warcraft?
The GTX 1080 Ti delivers 175 FPS at 1080p Ultra in World of Warcraft. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 126 FPS and at 4K 56 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
