low Fps 1 cleint

[gigauae]

alright here is the deal

cpu i7
285 1gb gigabyte vga
6gb ram ddr3
sata2 1gb WD HDD
extreme 58 gigabyte mobo

and am havin 10
yes 7 FPS in dalaran one client with Maximum vedio settings
and 10 outside dalaran
am sure something is wrong am not sure wut is it :cursing:

[mikekim]

what fps do you get on minimum settings?

try that, and then scale up the settings till you find the best compromise between looks and FPS

[gigauae]

the point is i suppose to have an overkill hardware for wow, yet i cannot get a decent FPS with max settings ;S

i set settings to lowest, and it shows a 12 fps now

[falsfire3401]

Something else must've changed. Did you change your OS recently? Try upgrading your drivers or check the various OS-related settings that can improve performance? If you're on Win7 using nVidia's latest drivers make sure you turn *OFF* Ambient Occlusion in the nVidia control panel, it apparently murders wow's framerates. Also make sure your Win7 is set to 'performance mode' in power options

[gigauae]

am using vista 64 ultimate, not win 7, and am not sure if win 7 is alredy out retail version ;S

[falsfire3401]

No, Win7 is not out retail just in public beta (free download). Lots of ppl are trying it that's why I asked. I'm on it and the ambient occlusion thing in the nVidia driver made a night and day difference on my framerates.

My system is nowhere near as powerful as yours yet I'm getting pretty good (40-60) fps on my main screen (details set to default "High" setting, not quite 'Ultra' like I had on XP-32 but I can't see a difference), and the 2nd and 3rd wows are locked at 15fps on 'low' detail.

Core2duo E7400 2.8GHz
4GB single-channel DDR2-800 RAM (lame mobo doesn't support dual-channel)
GeForce 9600GSO 768MB PCI-Ex
Win7-64 RC1
nForce 610 series mobo chipset



My whole point on that is it's got to be a setting somewhere. See if your Vista nVidia control panel has an Ambient Occlusion option under 3D settings, if so, turn it off!

[gigauae]

cant seem to find it under control panel of nvidia :(

am talking about 1 wow client here not multiboxing yet :S

[Enndo]

WOW If your getting fps like that running a single instance of wow there is a serious problem. Ive got an i7 and that same video card and my fps is smokin. Did you build this machine yourself? Have you updated all the drivers for your hardware, ie video card, motherboard, etc etc?

[gigauae]

i updated all drivers motherboard, vga chipsets,lan and all :S

[Enndo]

Did you build this machine yourself? Whats the CPU usage/temp, if your using a router is the firewall setup to allow traffic? Also is your windows firewall set to allow WoW

no i didnt build it my self, with temp and cpu usage on monitor its all in normal lvls cpu is in 30C, am sure its not router or firewar coz its allowed, and playing on other pc on same router :(

am runnning outta options here

went with lowest settings am having 30 fps in dalaran!

man this is one of the reasons why i hate getting a new PC

Don't test in Dalaran, you'll find some pretty mysterious bottlenecks there with WoW's lack of being able to use multi-core CPU's. Go fly somewhere lonely where you should be able to get 60fps easily.

First, try changing your CPU affinity around, by default the process should take cores 0 and 1, change it to 2 and 3 (using physical core 2). Try playing aroudn with those vague video options such as vsynch and triple buffering and see if it makes any difference (well turn them off..).

There's a file you might want to delete that controls video options. Config.wtf, or video.con or .wtf or something, can't remember (at work now..). I think it's just under WTF. Try that and see if it makes a diff.

i tried setting afinity no effect, same for deleting the config file

am not sure but could copying a my prev wow folder to this new pc could cause this or not?
am gonna try a fresh install anyways and see how it goes

also i had some driver problem reported by windows, for ethernet gigabit controller, i removed and reinstalled

ye that what ill be doing as soon as i get back home, on a side note a friend told me the new generation vga's have a problem with FPS when playing wow in window mode, anyone can elaborate on this?

[grap]

you test with other game ?
it s only wow problem ?
you can check your CG with crysis, your processor with Pi or other test like 3Dmark
Enough electrical power ? the one or two electrical line are good connect in your CG ?
Maybe it can help you to find the bad area in your pc ?

so far its only wow problem coz its the only game i have on pc
regarding other tests think it worth a try
doubt its a power problem, have 1k watt PSU, everything is connected fine

verdict?

[gigauae]

verdict?

i didnt get wut u mean :(

made fresh install 30 fps outside dalaran with Ultra video settings

[Drecan]

ok so now your at 30 fps out of dalaran. good start point i guess. no are you using keyclone by any chance? if so when you run a single instance of wow you have to manually type in the following command to unlock the fps that keyclone locks up to help with lag and multiboxing.

/console maxfps 0
/console maxfpsbk 0

and disable vsync

wasnt using keyclone just single wow client.
i did what u wrote i reached 60 fps outside dalaran but i had some features off,
i noticed it drastically drops my fps when i activate it, those are full screen glow and projected texture, lowered shadow quality to around 50% and having 40-60 fps outside dalran in a low populated zones, i just wanna make sure that am getting the best i can from my pc,

i did some testing with 3dmark, it scored 7600 with default settings , tomshardsware showed that my gpu scored 8900 but am not sure about the test settings
am getting the feeling of ginving up :S

[Drecan]

in northrend i get 60-70 fps at the most but then again none of my toons have made it to dalaran one day i'll venture that way lol. and i have a 4870x2 card, once my replacement heat sync and fans come in i'm going to overclock it
