I have the money to either buy the 1080 or tlhe 1070 but dont want to waste money. The only game i play is wow. I do raid fairly hardcore and want to do so with no problems. is the 1080 an overkill? I have a gtx 560ti that I believe is going bad. when i hearth to dalaran it takes a min or 2 to actually move, and see my character. at the start of boss fights i lag out and cant do anything for a bit.

Your GPU is not causing your Dalaran issues, though I could see it causing slowdowns there. Move your cache and WTF folders to a different location, and let WoW create new ones. As far as graphics upgrade, which wouldn't be a bad idea, a GTX 1060 6gb, or used GTX 980 would do really well.

thx for your reply. no its not my connection. well on my ui when this happens my frame rate drops to nothing. usually around 50-60- fps. like in the raids after the initial pretty much lockiing up at start of the fight it does fine, its like when a fast load happens it does this. ive never had these problems. im running a gtx 560ti I5 3570k

Before thinking of replacing the GPU could you give at go at pulling your current one and plugging a HDMI into the motherboard to your monitor so you can then use the CPU's Intel HD 4000 graphics display.

Run the game your having most issues with and see if it still flickers/lags. Just put everything on Low & at your native resolution, it doesn't matter what frame-rate you get as this is a test.

Get back with a reply when you can.
