Can the NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti run World of Warcraft? (2026)

✅ Yes — easily

~126 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti is a mainstream 1080p card with 11GB of VRAM, and World of Warcraft is a moderately demanding game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU it averages about 126 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 126 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	126	126
1440p	79	78
4K	45	69

💡 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.

At 1080p expect around 126 FPS, at 1440p about 78 FPS, and at 4K roughly 69 FPS with optimized settings. World of Warcraft doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
