    will this run ultra 60 fps in MoP?

    Intel® Core™ i5-2500K Processor
    GeForce GTX 550 Ti 1 GB
    Memory - 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1333MHz
    1 TB hard drive (dont know brand yet)
    600W power supply (dont know brand yet)
    NZXT Guardian 921 RB case
    hopefully you could help me with an intel motherboard as well i have 0 knowledge about these things (and hardware in general)

    this all together would be around 700 euros i think

    So can this run Mists of Pandaria on full ultra settings while running it with around 60 fps?

    If not, what should I look at and upgrade?

    (the specs may be complete shit but this is my idea on what is good and not lol)

    thanks

    hm depends on resolution but for something like 1680 x 1050 and below sure
    if you play on 1920 x 1080 + get something like the gtx 560/amd 6850 and above should be fine.

    dont get the 550ti just in case you want to do something else..who knows you may pick up GW2 for whatever reason and you cant play it on max because you cheaped out on a non-gaming gpu. a 6870 is right around the same price anyways and much better. although with your resolution you will be fine as of today, but there is nothing wrong with future proofing.

    you can clearly tell from these that a 550ti isnt meant for any real gaming, 6870 is over a 50% increase in some cases(arkham city) but almost always a minimum of 20% more FPS.

    keep in mind how processor-happy wow is, an OCd 2500k can get 8-10 more frames in raids with a simple 4.4ghz oc.

    anymore input? still find things very hard to choose and could use some more advice
    people say that WoW isn't a really demanding game when it comes to hardware but apparently a gtx 550 ti aint good enough :S

    thx for replies

    you can get an radeon 7770 at that price which performs better

    I'm using a 550 ti as well with ultra settings, and it runs perfectly and usually >80 fps if you're not in a major city or raiding. I play on a high pop server, and the fps does drop significantly when I enter a larger city like Orgrimmar/Shrine of the 2 Moons, though I'm not sure this is only GPU related. Raiding fps ranges anywhere between 30 and 60 fps for me on most bossfights.
    Having said this there are absolutely better cards in the same price range, but this is how the 550 performs for me

    yeah im on same server as you but seems that 550 seems fine for what i desire (ultra 60 fps)
    im aware it will drop down in city and raids ofc but when im outdoors it should be 60> then?
    cheers
