FPS Horrendous at times... what can I change
The title is the question:
Computer:
i7 920 @ 2.67GHz (not overclocked)
12 GB 1600 triple channel RAM
64bit WIN 7 OS
2 NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250 video cards (SLI bridged - not sure if I did this correctly)
Hitachi HDT721010SLA360 1TB 7200 main drive (OS and such)
INTEL SSDSA2M040G2GC 40GB solid state drive (wow and innerspace - not sure if I did that correctly just copied over my wow folders and re-routed ISBoxer to use that path)
I play 5 accounts at once. One set up for the main monitor and four that are viewed on the second monitor.
Here is my problem. I bought the SSD because I was getting low frame rates in quite a few places. Most of the time my frame rates are 60fps on the main screen (27" ASUS 2.0sec refresh). However quite a lot the FPS goes down to 25 and sometimes even as low as 16 when I'm near a lot of fire (notably Howling Fjord when near the burning trees or any brazier with a lot of fire in it). Dalaran can be horrid at times.
My slave accounts are all set at 30fps through Innerspace. I've tried changing some of the particle settings, but that really doesn't seem to help much.
With my system I just feel like it should be 60fps consistently.
I'm not a computer abled person, but can do okay as long as I know somewhat of what I'm doing (by usually asking a lot of questions here).
So can people make suggestions on how I can improve my FPS consistently?
As always all help is greatly appreciated.

On a side note, since I transferred my toons all to Doomhammer to join Nighthawke, Coltimar and Kate I've been having a great time in this guild. I encourage anyone who doesn't want to go to a PVP US server to come on over and join us!
