I'd give them a little more time, its bugs, lots of bugs, they will squish a few. I can still play WoW on an old laptop with integrated graphic card so I feel after a couple drivers get updates and a couple hot patches in WoW things will start to go back to normal.

Have you tried some of the detail macros?

A few of these probably don't work anymore but this is what I use for slaves, and it seems to work remarkably well.

/console farclip 700
/console textureFilteringMode 0
/console projectedTextures 1
/console waterDetail 0
/console sunshafts 0
/console renderscale 0.6


/console set Sound_MasterVolume 0.1
/console set Sound_SFXVolume 0.1
/console set Sound_MusicVolume 0
/console set Sound_AmbienceVolume 0
/console set Sound_DialogVolume 0
/console set Sound_EnableAmbience 0


/console graphicsViewDistance 1
/console graphicsEnvironmentDetail 1
/console graphicsGroundClutter 1
/console graphicsShadowQuality 1


/console maxfpsbk 12

My main char gets this macro:

/console farclip 2700
/console textureFilteringMode 4
/console projectedTextures 1
/console waterDetail 2
/console sunshafts 2
/console renderscale 1


/console set Sound_MasterVolume 0.1
/console set Sound_SFXVolume 0.2
/console set Sound_MusicVolume 0
/console set Sound_AmbienceVolume 0.5
/console set Sound_DialogVolume 1
/console set Sound_EnableAmbience 1


/console graphicsViewDistance 7
/console graphicsEnvironmentDetail 7
/console graphicsGroundClutter 1
/console graphicsShadowQuality 6


/console maxfpsbk 12

Tune to taste.

[edit] For what it's worth, I did a bit of checking on the performance diff with the above individually on an i7-6600k + 980Ti. Note that I have about 25 tabs in Iron (chromium browser), teamviewer, discord, rainmeter, and a bunch of other background apps running, so not like I'm being gentle.

With main set to the high settings above and slaves to low settings above, CPU is at ~40-45% and GPU is ~37%.
With all clients set to the high settings above, CPU = 50%, gpu = 47%.
Just bumping the maxfpsbk up from 12 to 20 jumps CPU/GPU to ~60%.
If I bump all to high settings above, maxfpsbk to 20, and set slaves to renderscale 0.3, CPU is ~60%, GPU drops to ~38%.

can you check if one (or more) of your wow windows is set to windowed and not to fullscreen in the wow display settings?
I had that problem which made playing impossible
