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

Works for both AMD and nVidia.

The program is called GPU-Z and if your card has sensors (most gaming ones do) it will display them for you. So you can monitor GPU load just as if you would CPU load. For WoW, GPU load is almost always the bottleneck as long as you have 3+ gigs of memory. Try it out and post your results!

Also check out Riva Tuner as well - it can graph it out.

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.

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 >_<

Get carbonite quest. Has more info available than QH does and doesn't have the resource hog issues.

Well, w.r.t. QuestHelper, if you can figure out a solution for the Traveling Salesman problem that isn't NP-hard, that will totally solve your CPU problem. I think it uses nearest-neighbor which is a pretty good algorithm, but still solves in exponential time.
As a bonus, you'll also be hailed as one of the most famous people of the 21st century!

Does Carbonite quest talk with other copies of itself? I like being able too see how many more things my alts need to do. Although I could use backtracker to solve this if it doesn't.

Under the Sensor's tab it doesn't show % usage for me... any idea why? ( gtx 260 btw )
