I'm running the following setup and while everything works fine outside of Dalaran, IN Dalaran sucks big donkey balls when I have all 5 guys trying to ride around.

Intel Q9550 (quad core @ 2.83Ghz)

8GB DDR2 @ 800MHz

2 - 32GB SSD's in RAID 0 (wow is installed here, symlinked)

Radeon 4870 - 512MB (overclocked to 790 GPU clock, 1050 memory clock)

I run all 5 on a single 22" monitor. I use Innerspace. Main window is full settings locked to 45 FPS max (1680x1050), alt windows are lowest settings, locked to 15FPS max (800x600).

Anyone able to tell me where the bottleneck is? I avoid Dalaran if I can because the frame rates suck.

When I check the GPU usage it never goes above 75% or 80% when all windows are going, even in Dalaran.

My CPU usage seems to sit around 60% as well.

I'm confused as to where the bottleneck is, anyone able to help?

Would a 4870 - 1GB help?
