WoW on 4K Monitor, is my PC capable?

[Supahawk01]

I want to know if my PC is capable at gaming 4K WoW, and if so, what kind of settings could I max and still maintain playable FPS.

Total Build:
CPU: FX-8350 @ 4.5GHz (Can go higher if needed)/ H100i AIO Cooler
GPU: EVGA GTX 1070 FTW Edition
RAM: 8GB GSKill Ripjaws
Boot Drive: Samsung 850 EVO

If anymore info is needed, please ask.
I am currently using 2 1080 Monitors. Of course I only play wow on one 1080p monitor and I see anywhere between 50 fps (In crowded cities such as Dalaran with 100+ people) to 300+ fps in open world with all Ultra minus Shadow Quality being set to high and render distance set to half as I don't see a point having it past that. I do have render-scale set to 200%, which I heard is basically just a step down from 4K..

And just to throw this question out there for any experts, I heard that if a GPU is labeled as VR-Ready, such as the 10-series, than it is automatically 4K ready. Is this true?

you can play it 4k ultra with the 1070

I would disagree, as Legion is more demanding. I tried out WoW, back in WoD, with a GTX 1070, @ 1440p, and ultra with a couple tweaks, was possible. It was to test out a friend's upgrade, to his 4.0ghz 3570k rig. Legion 4k is playable but I would say you would need to turn some settings down. VR ready doesn't equal 4k ready. It may run @4k, but gaming @4k is super demanding. Personally, I would recommend going with 1440p.

Thanks for the reply.

The problem though is that the 4K Monitor is already purchased as A Christmas gift that im not supposed to know about (Evil Grin) but I just want to make sure that this $400 monitor won't go to waste. I honestly couldnt care less about maxing out the settings such as Ground Density/Shadows/Water Quality/Render Distance as I don't care for these things, and these things are what seem to have the heaviest hit on me right now.

It will be playable, just don't expect ultra. 4k will still look better, at some lowered settings, than 1080p does at max.
