The AMD RX 560 (4GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and World of Warcraft is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, it runs well at 1080p — about 61 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 27 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 61 FPS at 1080p and 40 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 22 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 World of Warcraft: Heavily CPU-bound in raids and capital cities; lower Particle Density and View Distance first - upscaling won't fix a CPU limit.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
WoW renders below your screen resolution and upscales. A solid GPU-side gain — but remember raids and capital cities are CPU-bound, where this won’t help much.
Shadow QualityLow+11% FPS
Shadow resolution and range. High looks great and runs far better than Ultra in raids.
Particle DensityLow+10% FPS
Spell effects — the biggest FPS drain in 20-player raids where everyone is casting. Lowering it is a huge help in boss fights.
Ground Clutter / LiquidLow+7% FPS
Grass and water detail. A cheap, near-invisible saving out in the world.
View DistanceMedium+6% FPS
How far the world renders. Heavy, and it leans hard on the CPU — lowering it is the single best fix for low FPS in busy zones.
Anti-AliasingNone+3% FPS
Smooths jagged edges. Cheap; drop it if you need frames.
SSAOLow+2% FPS
Soft contact shadows. Subtle — safe to lower.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface detail — nearly free if it fits your VRAM. Fine at High on most cards.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps the ground sharp at distance. Effectively free — leave it at 16x.
