it’s an issue with the patch, Wowhead has posted a possible temporary solution until Blizzard fixes the issue.
And just to help you understand something: FPS is not related to your internet connection, the latency is just the time it takes for information to go from your pc to the servers and back.
FPS is related either to game optimization or how powerful your hardware is, you can have a 10000000000gbps internet connection, if the game is poorly made or your pc is weak, your FPS will suck. In this particular case it’s just Blizzard’s fault.
I was having micro stutters the past 2 days. I also upgraded my system. This morning I deleted my cache, wtf folders, removed all addons and getting no micro-stutters now.

There were quite a large amount of people going through this problem and they were looking into it. Maybe that’s why we just had maintenance? Try deleting your cache and wtf folder and see what happens.
Also try this temp fix -
Log in-game
Type /console GxAllowCachelessShaderMode 0
Type /reload or restart the game The 0 is a zero
If these don’t work, download gpu-z or better yet, msi afterburner and monitor your temps and make sure you have sufficient cooling to make sure you’re not thermal throttling.
So maybe turn that down a bit until Blizz fixes it.
Also try turning on vsync. Check your resolution matches your monitor. Things like that.
Now that I think about it, if your old characters are fine and new characters are jank, then a likely culprit is the graphics settings on your new characters being different than your defaults on your old characters.
FPS has absolutely nothing to do with your internet speeds.
It is likely one of two things. Maybe both.
You’re running out of date addons
You didn’t adjust the graphic settings after the patch. I heard some people say they had to lower them, in my case, I had to increase them. I logged in to everything on low when I play on a mix of medium and high. Maybe your auto-detect GPU isn’t working and it’s choosing integrated. Maybe your res scale is set high.
They might have a very old and outdated addon enabled that’s causing that, I’ve had that happen before, new characters seem to get every addon that’s installed enabled by default.
Are you trying to play WoW on a server or something? Because you can’t get a TB of RAM on a normal computer yet. Idk about Intel but the latest AMD Ryzen processors only support a max of 128 GB.
I use very few addons…mostly UI addons. Most of them have been updated and I check my update client several time a day. I know how new patches and expansions work for all of this.
I have never encountered this type of issue in all the years I have played this game.
These are brand new characters that will probably never encounter any expansion past Cataclysm.
Also this issue does not impact the other characters I play, all 12 of them.
If an addon is the issue it wouldn’t be one you’re using now, it would be one you used years ago and have since disabled on all of your characters, but forgot to delete from the addon folder. Like I said WoW tends to enable every addon I have installed when I create a new character, and until I finally went through and cleaned my addon folder it would even try to load things I haven’t used since Wrath.
I disabled every addon from the login screen, then logged out and back in. Created a new Gnome and my Frames increased to 9 , Wow a increase! Deleted the Gnome for being unplayable.
