What kind of system do you have and what are its specifications?
VooDoo2. Kidding.... lol
IF you want max settings, its not going to all be based on Video Card. You need a good processor too, which I have an i7 and a 570gtx direct cu II and in towns with ton of people I never get 60fps. Everywhere else thats important though I get great fps. Its a huge card though, make sure you judge your case model and style before you buy.
I'm using an Nvidia GTX 570 and an AMD Phenom II x 4 (3.4ghz). Outside of the obvious FPS killing areas (Stormwind/Orgrimmar and the new VoEB faction hubs), Ultra works just fine for me. Your CPU really is the bottleneck for quite a bit at this point and past that it's server-side lag.
Soothing Mist:"Healing them for a minor amount every 0.5 sec, until you take any other action."
Jade Serpent Statue: "The statue will also begin casting Soothing Mist on your target. healing for 50% as much as yours. "
[What's half of minor?]
"Statue casts Soothing Mist at a nearby ally for toddler healing."
My i5 2500k with EVGA 460 GTX FTW works brilliantly 50+ fps on ultra even in Stormwind. That sort of card is probably about £100 now, but i'd recommend the 660, as I've heard great things about it, and the benchmarks for the card can run the top settings, and will do even for the next expansion i'm sure. and its only £150-180, so worth it in the long run, instead of getting a cheap card now, and replacing it in a year or 2 time, why not spend a little more and keep the card for twise as long.

NVIDIA GeForce GTS 240
Alot of you guys are just listing off what you have now. Yes wow is more on the cpu. But this will run wow at ultra no problem and its about 100 bucks

Hows my CPU?
:::: Intel 10900k w/ Corsair H100i
:::: ASUS Maximus XII Formula
:::: 64GB Corsair Dominator RGB 3600mhz DDR4
:::: Samsung 512gb 960 PRO m.2 nvme ssd (OS), Samsung 1TB 950 EVO ssd
:::: Nvidia RTX 3090 Founders Edition
:::: Pop!_OS
How about NVIDIA cards?
Would say the GTX 660. All the other cards are outclassed by the respective AMD card.
I have a amd athlon 64 x2 6000+ 3.02ghz with nvidia geforce 8500 gt. Need a new graphics card that can run wow on ultra with my specs if possible. willing to spend 200-300 dollars.

that was done pretty quickly, and its not an amazing gaming system but it can play wow at ultra above 40 fps.

I have an OC'd 6670 and it gets pretty good results. My cpu is poop tho, which doesnt help at all.
Cheers guys
i know so. many people on this site run the same set up, ultra quality with shadows lowered, the I3 is very underrated for gaming.
this would be a different story if we were talking crysis or bf3 though, this system would be rather weak, the gpu would be maxed at mediumish, maybe a touch higher.

This isn't a "what spec is your computer and fps thread"
He asked what is the cheapest.
That being said, WoW is CPU bound in some areas and no matter how good your graphics card is you won't get 60 FPS without a supporting processor.
If you want 60 FPS in all areas with ultra settings, the cheapest you will get is
CPU - i5-2500k
GPU - Nvidia 560ti
You'll need to overclock the CPU to increase the frames in CPU bound areas such as towns and areas with lots of players.
