Lol, calm down Cat, you will have a heart attack at this rate
I was going to get that B-grade GTX970 Mini for £200 and it disappeared off the site,so a sad panda!
Probably get beaten to death if I bought it though LOL.
OK so you were wrong with your interjection at uber. Fine, glad we cleared that up.
Where exactly am I ignoring the fact that a lot of people don't have issues with WoW with AMD cards?
As I have already said, you have to assume that because OP is wanting a new card at a cost to himself you can only assume steps have been taken to eliminate issues his end. It's not my role to extensively question what he has and hasn't done. He asked a question and I answered it with my opinion.
What does the card I currently own have to do with anything? Are you really playing the brand card when I've owned more AMD cards than nVidia cards in the last 5 years?
You just lost the argument.

Ah,so more deflection from you about him saying people were lucky not to have issues with AMD cards in WoW.
Yet you seem to be very resistant to asking what actual issues and hardware the OP has:
So more deflection there - plus so what you owned AMD cards,you own a Nvidia card now(which I do too) and seem very resistant to actually finding what the problem is - quite funny you instantly jump to saying he should buy a new card.
So you seem terrified to actually want the OP to list his problems or EVEN the rest of the hardware he has,but need to wade in to support your mate.
You just lost the argument.
Edit!!
So another hardware enthusiast on a forum who would rather get people to throw hardware at a problem instead of trying to solve the problem.
Dime a dozen.
Second Edit!!
I owned more NV cards than AMD/ATI so meh and don't even have and AMD card of any sort ATM. Pfft.

If it must be NVidia and must be new with a budget of £300 then it's a 970.

The GTX970 Mini was £200 with the remainder of the company warranty last night.
Do you even know what the word deflection means? What exactly am I deflecting? You went waffling on at uber for something he didn't actually say.
The point was, what difference does the card I own have to the debate? None as far as I'm aware as I'm not having issues myself
. Though funnily enough I did have issues with my 290 in WoW before I sold up which vanished once I downgraded to a 760 . Funny that you keep saying "deflecting" when that's exactly what you're doing by bringing the card I own into the debate when it has no place.I'm not resistant, I just have no obligation to dig deeper. It's not my job to and I trust that he's taken steps to problem solve himself and changing card is the last resort. By all means, if you want to dig deeper than go ahead but there's no need to attack all of the other people who are thinking along the same lines as me.

so your supposition , as cat said , is to spend money without trying to find out the issue first? Nvidia cards also have a long and well documented problem history in world of Warcraft!
Did you not read the bit where I said I have no obligation to help him problem solve as I'm assuming that if he wants to spend money that he has taken steps to resolve any issues he's having?
To help you: it's right there in the post you've quoted.
You have been trying to get a bite for a few posts now, keep going and you may get someone to respond.
do you have anything to disprove what I have said? no? then why are you trolling?
seemed to have lost it in the hundreds of other flame bait posts you made.....

Its is though - he said the people I know who play the game frequently were "lucky" not to have had any problems.
Then there are others in this thread who run WoW(at least three other posters) who said the same thing.
Its not "lucky" in anyway.

Yet at the same time the person who has the R9 280 has had zero problems with WoW either and neither does the one who has the same SKU(HD7850) as the OP. He has reported zero issues with the game in WoW or D3.
Because in the end the people who seem to NOT want the OP to talk about the exact problems and the other hardware they have are all NV users.
Instead of actually trying to see if its some other problem,its instantly get a new card.
I have seen the same things unfold on forums when people throw hardware at problems.
Like I said SR3 and SR4 had crashing issues with my GTX660(which seemed more common with NV cards) yet I expect the logic here would be to have bought an HD7850 or HD7870 and ditch the GTX660.

That's not the same as 'all'.
That kind of observation again, loses you the argument. You can't pretend to be having a serious debate when you're explicitly bringing the brand of card people own into it when it has no relevance.
The very first two responses contained the question ‘what issues are you having’. It is fairly obvious the OP feels he’s either covered that topic enough or just wants to buy a new card and see if that helps.
Also no-one has said ‘problem with WoW? Buy a new NVidia card’, the OP asked for advice on a new NVIDIA card at £200 and people recommended, in fact it was CAT (who seems to want to get angry about this) who stormed into the thread and starting making arbitery comments that none of his friends have issues. Great, wonderful, really helpful.
Does it really bother you that much that the OP doesn’t want our advice on the issue’s he’s having with WoW? or do you take offence at people wanting to buy NVidia products, because the argument that people are telling the OP to ‘throw hardware’ at the problem is totally non-existent.

Yes it is - if people are "lucky" not to have problems it means by extension people tend to have problems
Yet,you are again deflecting - you and ubersonic seemed terrified when anyone in this thread wants to know what issues the OP has,or even what other hardware they are using.
You can't have a serious conversation when you seemed to be more worried about someone changing their card instead of trying to solve that proble,
You have lost the argument.
So again what are these problems??
Even then if someone asks for a new card - what are the specs of the PC being upgraded??
Oh right,if someone had a single core sempron on a CiT 300W PSU and said what GTX980/R9 295X2 that would not be relevant??
Plus try harder next time - I have a GTX660 and just bought a GTX960 for a mate for a Blender build.
What you don't seem to understand I know LOADs of WoW players usin hardware including what the OP has.
So since I have not heard any problems from them,I wonder what these problems are??
It seems many of you are incredibly defensive about ASKING what the problems are and what the specs of the PC the OP is using.

Give it a ******* rest for god sake. Nobody in this thread from the way I've read it is terrified of the OP stating what he has or hasn't done to solve the issue. As Payne said you're the one who seemed to take offence to OP specifically asking for a nvidia card at £200.
You're massively deflecting anything Rusty is saying yet trying to reply back to him with the same word when you appear to not even know what it means.
How about waiting for the OP to respond before people start getting suspended over a ******* GPU choice that isn't even their own.
