World of Warcraft benchmark on RX 590: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
World of Warcraft FPS with a RX 590 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 83FPS min 60Good | 54FPS min 47Acceptable | 22FPS min 20Poor |
| High | 107FPS min 77Good | 70FPS min 61Good | 29FPS min 26Poor |
| Medium | 140FPS min 101Excellent | 92FPS min 80Good | 37FPS min 33Acceptable |
| Low | 182FPS min 131Excellent | 119FPS min 104Good | 48FPS min 43Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 26% | GPU 14% | GPU 65% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RX 590. There is 35% 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 590 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 83 | 104 | 120 |
| 1440p | 54 | 73 | 89 |
| 4K | 22 | 32 | 41 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 590 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 RX 590 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. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.
Is the RX 590 Enough for World of Warcraft?
The RX 590 delivers 83 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 54 FPS and at 4K 22 FPS at Ultra quality.
