World of Warcraft benchmark on RTX 2080 Super: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
World of Warcraft FPS with a RTX 2080 Super and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 251FPS min 125Excellent | 186FPS min 104Excellent | 86FPS min 65Good |
| High | 327FPS min 163Excellent | 242FPS min 135Excellent | 111FPS min 84Good |
| Medium | 427FPS min 213Excellent | 316FPS min 176Excellent | 145FPS min 110Excellent |
| Low | 500FPS min 249Excellent | 409FPS min 228Excellent | 188FPS min 143Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 64% | CPU 54% | CPU 19% |
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 RTX 2080 Super. There is 10% 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.
DLSS 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 RTX 2080 Super with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 251 | 314 | 364 |
| 1440p | 186 | 251 | 307 |
| 4K | 86 | 125 | 159 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 2080 Super does have dedicated hardware for it, so you can turn it on in games that implement it. The FPS cost swings widely depending on how much ray tracing each title uses, and DLSS is exactly what people lean on to pay for it.
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 RTX 2080 Super 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 RTX 2080 Super Enough for World of Warcraft?
The RTX 2080 Super delivers 251 FPS at 1080p Ultra in World of Warcraft. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 186 FPS and at 4K 86 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
