W.O.W and the 480

[houdinii]

is the gtx 480 still being shitty with wow??

when it first came out ppl where talking about only getting 20-25 fps with it.
has blizzard or nvidia fixed the problem yet?

You're not planning to buy a 480 just to play WoW, are you?

Tell you what, buy a Radeon 5770 and give me the cash you save if you're determined to waste your money

I read about the GTX 480 and WoW. My understanding of it is if you have proper cooling (as the gtx 480 gets hot), a very good cpu and RAM, and a big enough PSU, WoW will run fine.

It's not the card that's making WoW crappy looking, it's the system requirements as a whole that cause the biggest problems.
