I doubt you will get performance boosts in WoW at this point, the game has been around for so long that it's been optimized to the max on current and older generation hardware.

WoW is not taxing on hardware either, at least by today's or even last year's standards.

Not to get off-topic too far, but does anyone know if they added CrossFire support in Fallout 3 yet?
