Hi all.
Im using a Q66002.4ghz@ 3.65ghz watercooled. With a ATI HD 5870. Atm I have 8gbs of ram running at 1600 6.8.6.24 CAS. My sound is controlled by creative xfi-elite pro which has its own memory and prosessor to handle sound. My harddrives are watercooled SAS scsi drives 2x15k in raid 0.

(This is an old computer , but it was very good when i bought it and build it. As for performance in wow

In singel account playing i have around 150fps on ultra settings 1900x1086(or what it is)

My discoveries: I found in the Catalyst program settings of the AMD card, that in advanced section , if you have those settings at max, this will slow down wow to an extent that you will be doing 15-20 fps...even on my system... when I lowered the settings to performance mode the fps went up to 150+.

These settings are not ingame---these settings you need to adjust in the g-cards own program. Put youre card to performance mode...
The cards settings is often in the middle by default. When I lowered those settings I could still have the settings on full ingame..but just with 150+ more fps.

Boxing 5 chars: Settings on low, with fair/good view distance.
Im boxing 5 chars now, and iam around 50-60 fps (maxed by fps limiter). in crowded cities ..like orgrimmar - i have around 20-30 fps.


So just my tip, check youre grapich cards own program and check for performance mode. (right click desktop>properties>advances>youre cards program>performance
