Season 4... Just old dungeons and new ilvl?
MMO-Champion
Hi All,
I'm looking at getting a new 1440p monitor and think I'm going to get the ASUS pg279q which will be a big upgrade from my 1080p 60hz LG monitor but am wondering whether i should upgrade my GPU and CPU.
Currently i have a GTX 970 and I5 3470 do you think this will be good enough for wow or should i upgrade?
Thanks,

Good enough for WoW.

Imo 27 inch monitors, are just too much for gaming if you are aiming to be top player in what ever game you are playing. You should stick to 24 inch monitor...

That really depends entirely on how far you sit from your monitor. Originally Posted by Stefanus

I run a 3770k at 4.5ghz and a GTX 980ti at 1485mhz. I get about 80-90+ FPS in raids on Ultra (custom) I think I run CMAA for anti-aliasing and then 16x anisotropic filtering. The rest are ultra except shadows might be high.

Yup, ultra across the board. If you're having any issues just lower the shadows and partical density a little bit, they tend to demand the most out of your GPU Originally Posted by FrankWhiteJR

I get his point. You want to have everything within your field of view and if you have a larger monitor -and- sit to close to it, you have to constantly be turning your head to see stuff it makes you less effective. Again though, this can be easily remedied with a larger monitor by putting the monitor further away from you. Originally Posted by nmityosaurus

1440p + 970 will get 60fps pretty much everywhere in wow, other games will get about 30-60 fps on max settings depending on game.
If you intend to get a new graphics card i'd wait a few months for nvidias new gpu's to be announced/ released.
