Is anyone else getting this? WOW seems to be using my GPU like crazy and casing my fans to spin more than they use to.
I just don’t know what setting is either causing this, or the game has some weird memory leak.
I wish I knew what setting to turn off to make it stop.
Anyone else?
Nope, no issues like this for me playing on a 2080ti set to 10 with full raytracing at 4k. Most my GPU usage gets up to is about 60% in heavily populated areas with spells going off like crazy.
Could be related to either what GPU you have or out of date drivers.
Hmm my Drivers are at 517.48 and I was going to update but…I did hear that 526.98 was hot garbage.
I suppose I could try tho…
Well at least we know the GPU is Nvidia. That might be important to know in the opening statement.
Also:
Nope but my 1660 ti struggled on WoW in SL when it first came out, and yet now I never have issues. Whatever polishing they did fixed the problems I was having.
What’s your gpu? Maybe someone is remotely using your computer to mine crypto.
I have an RTX 2060 and…that’s a scary thought…how can I get rid of a miner if it’s in my system?
WoW uses DX12 and they are continually improving their implementation as far as what DX12 is supposed to do. DX12 has lower level access to your hardware and can utilize it more fully. You want your GPU utilization high. If your GPU utilization is low, you aren’t getting at what it can do. If you specifically want low GPU utilization, switch back to DX11.
Huh…I didn’t think of it that way. And it’s interesting the GPU usage is high but it’s not overheating at all staying about bout 76 C even in crowded areas.
