I kinda feel like an idiot, but I think the biggest impact on my performance I had was to turn the background frames to 15FPS. I probably could have done that with my q6600... Oh well. I didnt just upgrade for wow, I wanted to get back into first person shooters.

Ultimately, what I did, was to turn ON SLI, which I could only activate on one monitor due to a EDID bug on my main LCD (long story) so I had to hook up a third video card (thank god I got a mobo that was 3 way sli ready) and I hooked my other 2 monitors to the third card. Then I had to set my core affinity to 2 threads per instance. Just testing out 4 boxing, each wow on its own core gives me a consistent 60FPS. Can't 5 box just yet due to one of my accts expiring and I'm gonna wait til cata to renew.

I was monitoring my EVGA Precision for GPU usage, and even though I was rendering wow on a different screen, the primary GPU was still doing the work, so I surmised that SLI would hopefully help. I was also going to use the third card anyway for a physx card. I will probably someday try to re enable the 3d vision surround, cause I bet games like diablo 3 would kick ass with 3 monitors.
