💡 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 177 FPS, at 1440p about 170 FPS, and at 4K roughly 97 FPS with optimized settings. World of Warcraft doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
