9.1 FPS drops, stutters, choppy

I’ve found that if I’m listening to youtube (music) on another monitor I get the choppyness. If I pause the video, the issue disappears entirely. If I minimize it, or go to another tab I get significantly less but it’s still there.

Disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox fixes it.

I’m guessing that Blizzard’s having issues with DX12 and contention/prioritization. In the meantime, making WoW the only thing using the graphics card, or removing hardware acceleration, seems to be a highly effective fix - for me at least.
