WoW Recommends me Graphic 7

[WskyDK]

100+ fps everywhere and I only have a 970 and an i5 both overclocked

I hope you're prepared to defend your claim. I don't care, but you just kicked over a can of worms on this forum

My PC (which is a little less powerful than the one you have described) run World of Warcraft on Graphics 10 in raids with more than twenty players no problem.

I just bought a computer with an i7 6700 CPU with a GTX 1060 graphic card and 16 GB of memory with the hope I could run WoW on ultra (best I've ever really had was medium). Now I'm apprehensive that I could. I haven't gotten the computer yet and likely won't for another two weeks since it's still being built. Figured since the computer is well above recommended specs, it should run WoW fine on ultra. Guess not. But if everyone with a higher end system is being recommended a 7, wonder if Blizzard will fix that with the first patch to give true recommendations.

I recommend 8.1 but that's just me

Pfft, silly Skylakes. Everyone knows best CPU for WoW is the i7-4790K... It recommends 10 with one of those.

That's not true, I have one and it still recommends 7, even if overclocked. It is also not true it's the best for WoW overall; if overclocked, the 6700K would be better.

The 4790K overclocks far better than the 6700K. Even at stock, the 4790K single core performance is above the 6700K, same when overclocked.

i5 6600k, 980 TI, 16gb of memory, and it recommends me 7 as well. Everything is fine and dandy at 10 however but your mileage may vary of course.

Funny, it also suggests me 7, however...

Why? It's the benefit of 1080p gaming.
