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:
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
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
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
am using vista 64 ultimate, not win 7, and am not sure if win 7 is alredy out retail version ;S
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!
cant seem to find it under control panel of nvidia :(
am talking about 1 wow client here not multiboxing yet :S
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?
i updated all drivers motherboard, vga chipsets,lan and all :S
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
