    It gets about 30-50fps with Shadows on Ultra. Lowering Shadows increases performance. I suggest Ultra with shadows on like good and youll maintain a healthy FPS.

    This for me too. Btw when I was talking about it I just remembered it was on my 1080p monitor so it must be higher than that. Enjoy.

    In my experience don't expect 60fps on ultra.

    I ran 25man on my R2, which did drop to ~15fps on some bosses, but then so did my desktop. I obviously had settings turned down too.

    With the better grfix in the R3 you could expect 40+fps on high settings.

    Drop the shadows though as they eat GPU performance.

    I get a steady 60 with most everything set to good and a few things on high running DX11. I've not done any raids yet (since I've decided I'm done paying for it until better content gets added and I only play the free version now for s&gs) and I would expect it to drop in them, 10s and 25s alike. This is my experience with the i7 and 8gig RAM.

    Ultra, in my experience, isn't really that great in WoW. The style of the game doesn't allow for much more beyond the high/good settings. You'll be able to see the landscape further, but that's really it.
