Need advice on graphics card upgrade for World of Warcraft

[Sasahara]

Wrong. WoW is multi-core enabled for dual core and has been for about a year and a half when it was introduced in one of the larger patches. It will use almost 100% of core 1 and a fair chunk of core 2, if you don't believe me I can produce proof of it taking up 150% equivalent of one of my cores What it is not is quad core enabled. I'm also pretty sure last time I checked a lot of people had actually got SLI running with WoW.

My bad, seem you right about the 2 cores, but it's very much subject to the system, I don't seem to get any benefit from the 2nd core. :/

SLI, was fixed, aka people were getting half the fps with sli enabled, now that shouldn't happen.

"World of Warcraft will work on SLI based system, SLI however is not a supported feature of the game, the benefit you will get from running WOW in SLI is minimal."

It's not Blizz that really needs to make SLI work, with later drivers NV have made profiles for it which I believe may use basic AFR etc. SLI just as much as Crossfire is driver dependant, and regardless of a game's programming, sometimes they find ways around problems
Once they've worked out the best method to use, NV can create SLI profiles which tell the game to be run and rendered a certain way as soon as they detect the .exe in use.
