I'm been giving World of Warcaft a try on Windows 7 (I own a MacBook Pro Retina, usually run WoW on OS X but wanted to take advantage of DirectX 11). I am looking for suggestions to get the max benefit from my hardware (2.6Ghz i7, 8GB Ram, 512GB Flash storage, NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory).

I notice on the Windows side the NVIDIA drivers give the user a lot of different options to optimize the game. Are there any settings there I should be overriding? Right now I have it set to "Let the 3D application decide" rather than "Use the advanced 3D image settings," because I do not understand most of the options there.

Are there any best practices I should be applying? I've done Google and forum searches for "NVIDIA Control Panel World of Warcraft" but most of the hits I get seem either out of date or don't address the issue directly.

Any advice is appreciated.
