Hello

I'm looking for information about how well, meaning what FPS, will this laptop graphic card GTX 950M (2048 Mt GDDR3 version!) provide in World of Warcraft with Ultra settings. Prefferably with anti aliasing and vertical sync enabled. (And if that's a deal breaker, what FPS if these 2 special features are disabled?) For raiding the settings must probably be lowered, but what FPS will it provide with normal gameplay, fighting and in crowded areas?

I hope someone has a real experience with this.
Thank you for your input.

Other information about the laptop:
Intel Core i7-4720HQ, 4x 2,6 GHz with Turbo-Boost up to 3,6 GHz, 6MB L3-Cache
8 GB single-thread or 16 GB dual-thread DDR3L (will this decision affect FPS???)
(256 GB SSD)
Windows 8.1 64Bit or 10 64Bit

Thank you.
They hinted that it would work even on ultra it seems. I'm still wandering about how well exactly would it perform in Ultra. Will the FPS be close to the bottom line of 30 fps perhaps, at least in crowded areas. Or would it be all the way playable, around 60 fps everywhere. Or is that too much to expect from this (slower version GDDR3) graphic card.

I also updated the main post, that this graphic card I'm interested in is the slower memory version: GTX 950M, 2048 Mt GDDR3 version

You will have to turn down some settings to get to 60 in some areas, depending on what AA setting you use. I have a desktop with a video card a step over the 950m and to get 60 I need to lower shadows, AF but then I am able to turn on decent quality AA to get smooth edges and not mess up textures much with using FSAA. If you use the top anti-aliasing setting, WOW looks really good, but you will drop down to 10 frames LOL. I was just playing around with settings last night. Dropping down to 30s frame rate during raids is normal though, just a lot of stuff going on and it will still be smooth.

Hello and thank you for your input!

I guess you have the 960m? It has the faster memory though, GDDR5. Do you think it could play a significant role in getting manageable amount of fps (30) in demanding conditions? When comparing to the 950m GDDR3, what might the difference be like?

Thank you for your time and help!

No, it's a desktop CPU with GDDR5 but in speed it's a level over the 950m, going by relative rank. Your DDR3 will be slower, but it's still rated pretty decently for WOW. It will play OK, but if you want smooth play, Ultra may be out for that GPU.
