High end PC, incredibly low FPS. Unsure how to proceed, please help

Any chance you can post the memory settings from cpu-z?

Sure!

EDIT: Now that I’m looking at this…it doesn’t look like 63% of my memory is used up based on the processes running. Is it a memory leak issue?

Dunno about the memory leak. I’m more interested in the 1796.4 mhz ram speed, which is slow. I can’t remember if that is then doubled to get to 3600, or if yours is slow. I’ll have to check cpu z on my machine in the morning.

Seems like it might be doubled - Task Manager indicates 3600 MHz by the speed parameter.

I figured it out. Here’s what I did:

NVIDIA CONTROL PANEL

  1. Manage 3D Settings > Program Settings > WoW - Retail
  2. Monitor Technology: G-Sync Compatible (not global)
  3. Power Management Mode: Prefer Max. Performance
  4. Preferred Refresh Rate: Highest Available
  5. Vertical Sync: ON (MOST IMPORANT)
  6. Triple Buffering: Off (global)

IN GAME SETTINGS

  1. Vertical Sync: OFF
  2. Triple Buffering: OFF
  3. DX 12 Enabled
  4. Max Foreground FPS: CAPPED TO 140 (4 less than 144 Hz)

Enabling these settings removed all screen tear and low fps issues. Based on my research, NVIDIA V-Sync works better in conjunction with G-Sync than WoWs in-game V-Sync feature. I had the best results with this setup AFTER updating bios, chipset, and graphics drivers so YMMV.

Thank you Zungar for your help.

I switched back to DX11, and my FPS tripled, and maintained stability of FPS. This was infuriating me, as well. Hope this helps! DX12 works horribly with RTX cards and WOW for some odd reason.
