Hey, I was wondering if anyone had experience running WoW on a 1050 Ti on a 1440 monitor. Can it maintain decent frame rates at high-ish settings?

That depends.
What are you doing with your time in Wow and what kind of CPU do you have?
Ya it would be fine, 60 FPS ish probably in broken shore.
For the most part, the answer is "no".
By this i mean, "at settings most people would want to play at, to fully enjoy their 1440p experience".
Will it run WoW in 1440p with settings turned down?
Depending on what CPU is backing it up... sure thing.
But if you're thinking 1440p at better than about setting 4 or 5... no, not really. Not at acceptable framerates.
I'm running an R9 270 with a 1440p monitor currently, though I run WoW in Windowed mode I'm still running at detail 6 at reasonable FPS. There are dips in expected places but it is never unplayable.
At 1440p I wouldn't buy a 1050 Ti (or R9 270 / RX 460), I'd go for at least one step up; WoW is playable at 1440p but anything else is crap.
Super casual.
If you have a strong CPU you will have no issue at all at 1440p. I have been running ultrawide 3440x1440 with a single GTX 1050 Ti with 60+ FPS.
I've got a GTX 970 and it runs WoW at 1440p on Ultra settings without issue. Capped at 60fps pretty much everywhere.
CPU is a 3.5ghz i5 from a couple years ago.
I have a 1050 ti. It runs pretty well actually. My monitor is 1080p but it handles render scales like 130% fine. I do lose afew frames here and there though. I run at 10.
So not 100% sure unless you find someone with 1440p.
edit: Also take into account lag. Although he frame rate remains high after a certain threshold your mouse will feel laggy.

Yes, it does and I'm building my set around 1050Ti. I personally prefer 1050Ti than 1060 cuz it has 4GB vram. It may not top the notch at peak settings but i'll keep your frames well.

VRAM is useless if you don't have GPU that can utilize it. It's like all those shit entry level GPUs that come with 4GB VRAM or something silly like that, basically that's just thrown in there to add "value" or false sense of superiority.

This is truth. 1060 3GB is better than 1050Ti in every case imaginable, maybe one can find some super edge case where it is not true, but stronger GPU is simply better answer in absolute majority of cases.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
It is and it isn't.
You shouldn't stutter if you were sitting still unless that particular scene was drastically overloading the framebuffer already. If you have an insufficient amount of Vram for your resolution and settings then you'd usually notice it when you cause many textures/models to be loaded, such as turning the camera and/or the vram can't fully store each prerendered frame. This is why you prioritize base GPU performance over Vram, but also research to see how much Vram you need so it's not holding you back if you want to get everything you can from the GPU.
A 4GB 1050 Ti will run WoW fine at 1440p provided you're willing to lower some settings. I also saw your comment in the other thread about going for a Ryzen 1300.
