World of Warcraft
Blizzard’s genre-dominating MMO is our next benchmark. As WoW is known to be CPU limited, we can turn it up to rather silly settings and still get a playable framerate on just about anything.
For whatever reason the 5800 series cards do particularly well here. Even the 5850 can completely decimate the GTX 285, both in single card and Crossfire/SLI configurations. You can see the CPU limitations in this game come to light, as at the very top the 5870 and 5850 are nearly tied.
