How to tell what your GPU load is (and thus see where your bottlenecks is)

[neen]

The current version of questhelper is my only bottle neck. It leaks memory pretty fast and I usually have to restart wow after 2-3 hours of play.
I disable it when doing any BG work or it will crash one more more copies of wow in the middle of a good battle.

OMG QH is for the sux now. I can't even move my alts in shat with it on.

I had not even though of it, but I bet that's what's slowing my rig down. When I enter a city I'm down to about 16fps (when the clones are in tow) whereas I get over 200 when I'm just running one copy of wow >_<

I was thinking of upgrading my video card (8800gts) because my 5 boxing was a bit laggy at ~30 fps. After seeing Xzin's suggestion i wanted to find out if this would really help me before shelling out a couple hundred on a new video card. Turns out it was questhelper that was a major source of slowdown. I instantly jumped back to 60 fps after I uninstalled qh.

weird, i wonder why QH slows things down if you arn't using the map all the time..
