Im on a high end PC that cost about 6,000 dollars. With medium settings in valdraken and dragon isle zones, Im getting 30FPS. I know its WoWs fault because i can get stable 244FPS in every other game. What i want to know is, does blizzard plan to make their game playable in TWW cause right now its like almost unplayable unless you drop all setting to Low.

I have a $1500 prebuilt Lenova ‘gaming’ rig that I got for $800 and Im running 75FPS nearly everywhere, including in LFR wings.

As others have said, it has to be an issue for you. My specs are definitely lower than that and my fps doesn’t get that bad of performance.
Win 11, 12900k, 32GB DDR5, 4090
4k max settings 60 FPS in Val if packed. 120 everywhere else. It’s not going to change due to engine limitations. WoW only uses 2 cores.

Mine’s a Ryzen 5 3600, GTX 1080 ti Duke, good to ultra settings (mixed things), 43" 4K TV, hitting between 70 and 100 FPS outside of town, around 50-60 in town. You have something done wrong. Check out Quazii’s video on graphics settings. There are certain things you can lower or turn off completely that doesn’t change quality, but does change FPS, and other things you can turn all the way up that won’t affect performance.
This is my system straight from Windows

Ive got my game set to cap at 75FPS because thats the refresh of my monitor.
Literally keeping it topped at 75 nearly all the time on this low rent machine…and my settings are just dragged to 10. Nothing changed
Mine is undead, I’ve replaced the parts over the years, but I absolutely refuse to let it die.
The original tower is from 2010 or so, lol.
And yeah, I run DF at 60+ frames, smooth as heck.
I never have issues with WoW.
When my computer starts stuttering with other, newer games, is when I start looking at what’s causing it, and a potential upgrade.
Im not a super tech savvy person, but my thought is that a lot of high end processors are strong because they have a billion threads or cores or whatever, but WoW only gets a significant benefit from a single core, so if the thing isn’t frontloaded it won’t get as much bang for the buck in WoW as it does in other more modern games.
Or maybe that’s no longer the case, idk.
One thing I do is turn nearly everything all the way down during raids except Particle Density (Ultra), Texture Resolution (high), Spell Density (Essential), and Projected Textures (Enabled).
I regularly get 200 FPS in raid because of that, plus I can see everything I need to see. Even pros with their 4090s and whatnot do that because even with the latest and greatest, you’d still get stuttering.

Yea my PC is 6,000 dollars. I don’t think it should be stuttering or getting low FPS
It’s either processor or gpu. There’s a surprising amount of stuff that doesn’t agree with Bliz products. I downgraded my gpu and had less issues.
I have a 10700k, 32GB of DDR4 and an RX 7700 XT. I get about 50 to 60 fps in Val and 120 everywhere else. 1440p
Nice flex.

Check him PC

It’s not much of a flex. It’s a 4 year old CPU and last gen ram.
I think it’s more that WoW isn’t optimized like it should have been from the start. When the first Overwatch released, on the same setup, WoW’s average FPS was between 40-100 FPS on medium settings, but OW was hitting 320 FPS on ultra settings.
Besides a Linux port, my one wish for WoW is to optimize for GPU instead of CPU.

Yea its not optimized but hopefully its fixed by TWW
the people here saying they see 70 fps in valdrakken are cap
