You shouldn’t, the load is being pushed on the most durable part of a PC "the processor " which in all my many years of gaming has never once failed, but I have had many GPU’s burnout long before the PC was even old or needed to be replaced
Yeah I hate Cold Fusion but we have some clients that have been using it for years and they just do not see the benefit it rewriting their applications in something else.
Yeah but I have to buy a solid video card to play other modern games and then it turns around and does nothing for me when I play WoW. Like i said, I just adjusted by switching to a better performing CPU to deal with it. Al thought I have heard that AMD has made some serious progress in the last year.
Alright moneybags, how about YOU replace their PC.

there’s nothing wrong with the engine. the cpu has to sync a lot of variable data within the emulated timeline. that’s not something that can easily be done across multiple threads.
also your processor is probably not as good as you think. amd’s ryzen cpu’s play wow like a dream, so if you’re running intel, especially older intel, the security vulnerability patches they pushed out to fix things like spectre, zombieload and other exploits are going to murder your single core performance by up to 50% in some cases
You can buy a 500$ pc from best buy that’s 100x better than any early 2000s pc. You can’t defend blizzards laziness, especially when WoW is still pulling them in millions of dollars.
What laziness? Not making the game more GPU dependent? All I’m saying is that it’s a conscious decision that lets them market the game to a wider audience, their market isn’t exclusively hardcore gamers.

And because of the backport, Classic has many flaws not present in Vanilla, some material. Like the fact that interrupts/avoids/breaks are not ejected from the queue. This breaks survival tactics like poly, vanish, fd, etc.
Can’t think of any reason for this other than that Legion handles the queue differently than Vanilla did.
You should always have a quality CPU, GPU, MB, SSD and PSU … these cover everything, so whatever game you are playing won’t matter if it’s dependent on either CPU, GPU or both!
Now you know!
Seriously, could my point go any further over your head?!? Thanks for the common sense knowledge, not that I already didn’t know it. It would be like buying a super car and then having the race track tell you that you could only race in first gear.
But what about WoW 2?
Skip 2, the second edition tend to be bad

You missed my point! you should have already had the “better performing CPU” CPU’s don’t go out! you’ll replace the system from age before a CPU goes out!
Games at the time where being made for and on single core cpus i think the first multi core pentium was the pentium D around 2005 1 year after wow came out - well depends on when it came out in 2005
This conversation is pointless. The CPU I had was perfectly fine for any MODERN game because they actually use the video card for something other than a paper weight. The only reason I upgrade to INTEL was because WoW acts like the video card is optional.
But whatever, this is pointless…

It already works this way OP.
Also recently they changed how WoW uses the CPU.

It’s only pointless to you because you don’t understand what I’m telling you!
If you would have bought quality parts to start with, we wouldn’t be having this conversation, So next time you build a comp put quality parts in it! it’s that simple! to cover ALL games
Exactly, and it’s much much better than it was before!
