I am not an expert like you here, and google is not really helpful for me to understand if I want something or if I should enable or disable something, that’s why I am asking your opinion.
hmmm so … do we use the recommended? cause the wow knows what it wants? xD
heeeeeeey 7 is bad.! lol i9??? wtf I dont think that wow is such a game… … its not like the red dead redemption for example xD which needs a Nasa Pc to be played with everything on max xD
You’ll be surprised good an experience 7 will get you…
The game engine that WoW uses is still largely CPU dependant, so the better your CPU is, the better game settings you can use - all the GPU does is be able to display the frames that the CPU renders, at the resolution of your choice. Most newer games will dump off (most, if not all of) the graphics processing to the GPU.
A better graphics card will enable you to play at 1440p or higher resolutions more smoothly.
And yes; any setting higher than 7 is provided for “ballin’” hardware of the i9/2080ti variety.
Hmmm ok, I set everything to 7. Although, I wanted my Environments to 10 I don’t think I might have a problem… what do u think?
Also, I don’t think that the Graphics Quality Bar (7), adjusts the Advanced section too… can u help me on what should I have to pick there? Right now its :
These setting levels are getting into the ‘too advanced for me’ territory, unfortunately… might be worth comparing what GeForce Experience reckons you should use, compared to what ‘Recommended’ says & work from there… also depends on what content you’re looking to optimise your settings for.
Yeah, Geforce experience will use what settings your card can support. It wants to do the whole 4K and downsample to 1440p for me with the 2080ti. So I let it do that and does help with the image sort of.
For 10 though, top range intel i9 processor with 2080ti or a RTX Titan. Or a Ryzen 9 3950x will do it. (AMD’s is only a few frames below Intel so it’s not even worth mentioning. Around 1-2% lower FPS really)
But not even those will cope much if it gets too busy or there’s too much going on in large raids. That’s why the game brought in a new secondary graphic setting to set it lower if you want when in such large/crowded areas.)
FPS/response time is more important than eye-candy graphics anyways when busy doing hard content…
I’d say that could play a solid 7 with maxed view distance and animations on 1080p
Or higher without those two
I’d keep shadow quality on low tho, the only way I managed to prevent an FPS drop from maxed out shadow quality myself is memory sticks at 4k+ MHz
Shadow detail is added ‘beautification’ that adds to the GPU load; if you’re on the edge of what your GPU can handle, it’s one of those “less noticeable features” you can afford to lose.
Possibly they solved it when they expanded CPU functionality for the game but there used to be a time (for me) where Shadow quality: Low and shadow quality: Best was the difference between 120+ FPS and 20- FPS
Faster RAM memory solved that for me
That’s about as cut and dry as I can make it
There’s not a real noticeable difference either tbh that’s the worst part
It is definately not the RAM.
There must have been something wrong with your grfx driver or whatever.
Shadows don’t crush your FPS like that, unless your system is a toaster.
From highest to 2nd highest not that much.. but from low to medium and high.. there is a big difference.
Sorry I was on vacations and I couldnt see you replies Thank you all very much! I bought AOC (AG241QX) 23.8", 2560x1440, 1ms, 1000:1, 144Hz, Gaming Monitor and I am going to do some testings
