From launch up until the last 2 days, I have enjoyed Wow Classic at ultra settings at 120 fps at 3440 x1440p. I use many addons and nothing has dropped my FPS whether it was Orgrimmar on Herod or a full 40 man Molten Core raid.
However, around 2 days ago suddenly I’m getting FPS drops everywhere. It could be in Orgrimmar, Molten Core or an empty spot in Winterspring. It’s a consistent FPS drop every few seconds and I cannot trace the source. It’s consistently goes from 120 fps to 102 to 97.
I’ve removed all addons and WTF folder to no avail. Yes at first, there were no drops but as soon as I turned the graphic settings above “3”, I get the FPS drops.
I have no installed any software or driver updates within the last week, so there is nothing I can trace to figure out why am I getting these drops. Temperatures and performance are regular on the hardware side. I’ve even reinstalled my nvidia drivers and nothing has changed.
As of now, playing with the graphic settings at “3” gives me the closets to 120 fps without any drops.
Also, Wow Retail is not affected in any way.
