Am I wrong in thinking I should be able to run max settings and get good FPS?

Hello!
So I might be wrong but I wanted to run this here and see what I’m thinking.
So with full max 10 settings I only get 40 to 70 fps.
My setup
CPU - AMD 3900x 3.8 12 core processer, I have it set to 4.0Ghz
32 Gig of ram, set at 3200mhz
Nvidia RTX 2060
I have a AOC 27inch 144hz 1440p monitor that I run.

I might be wrong but just feel like max settings should still be alot higher fps. Did a bios update recently, made sure my ram was set to max speed. I’ve made sure graphics card and chipset are up to date and addons are up to date.

Thanks for checking this out and any advice would be awesome!

If you aren’t able to, try running the game without the over-clocking.

Thanks for the response. Trying that, running around Oribos doing laps I’m getting anywhere from 80 to 110 so feels better just not sure if that’s where I should be targeting or if it should be more. Feel like I have a really good build.

Not really, no. Graphics setting 10 has always been notorious for crushing any hardware, no matter how new or fast. Graphics setting 7 is the equivalent of full-on ultra settings in the old system.

Also, WoW doesn’t take advantage of very many cores. Last I heard, which may have changed or been wrong in the first place, was it utilized an absolute max of 2.5 cores. But the bulk of the work is done on a single core regardless of even that.

If you’re really looking to push everything at absolute max, a GeForce 2060 is probably underpowered for that. I’m guessing a bit there. I don’t know where exactly the sweet spot is with graphics cards in WoW for pushing max settings, since WoW is mostly CPU-bound.

Shadowlands @ 1440p @ full max settings is not undemanding. It might be interesting to hear from other 2060 owners (I’m not one) but what you’re posting does not sound unreasonable to me.

You might be able to boost your numbers at little visible impact by selectively backing down on just the least value, highest GPU cost settings.

Thanks for the reply’s everyone. I’m still kinda playing with it but able to hold about 90 to 120 now so getting better!

I had similar fps when I had my 1070 paired with my 3600x. I upgraded to a 5700xt nitro+ and the difference was pretty big. A 1070 and 2060 are pretty on par. Mind you I don’t play on max. Typically I turn down or off SSAO because frankly it’s useless in wow and doesn’t do much for the game at all, and also taxes your machine like crazy. And I turn shadows down to good or high (shadows are also useless, who honestly stares at the shadows). I play on view/environment/clutter 7 because once again the gains are so small after this that it’s just not worth the taxing.

With my 5700xt, 3600x, gigabyte g27qc 1440p, I now get typically typically steady 110+ in oribos. Open world typically above 140.
3600x isn’t overclocked, just have pbo turned on with 16gb 3600mhz ram.

Hi, i have some problems now, i’m on ryzen 3 3200g clocked to 4.0 ando 1660 super 6bg. I don’t want to play at the Best, but at least hace smooth 60fps…i justo don’t know what to fix/change un Game yo improve te constant 60frames.

try and run the game by disabling Vertical Sync (Synchronizes your framerate to some fraction of your monitor’s refresh rate.enable this if you see excessive screen tearing in game)
