World of Warcraft benchmark on RX 480 8GB: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
World of Warcraft FPS with a RX 480 8GB and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 65FPS min 57Good | 43FPS min 38Acceptable | 15FPS min 13Poor |
| High | 85FPS min 74Good | 55FPS min 48Acceptable | 20FPS min 18Poor |
| Medium | 111FPS min 97Good | 73FPS min 64Good | 26FPS min 23Poor |
| Low | 143FPS min 124Excellent | 94FPS min 83Good | 34FPS min 30Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | balanced | GPU 32% | GPU 75% |
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 i5-12400F downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RX 480 8GB. There is 36% 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 RX 480 8GB with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 65 | 81 | 94 |
| 1440p | 43 | 58 | 71 |
| 4K | 15 | 22 | 28 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 480 8GB 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.
The RX 480 8GB and that processor are well matched in World of Warcraft: neither clearly holds the other back, so the table figures are a fair reflection of the pair. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.
Is the RX 480 8GB Enough for World of Warcraft?
The RX 480 8GB delivers 65 FPS at 1080p Ultra in World of Warcraft. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 43 FPS and at 4K 15 FPS at Ultra quality.
