Not everyone gets the stuttering, but overall, WoW’s frame rate might drop under medium to high loads due to the CPU bottlenecking. FF14 will frame rate drop like a stone with even a couple dozen players, but it’s a consistent drop(I’ve demoed this in clips earlier in the thread). And that’s an MMO where you’re basically in instanced “room” levels that aren’t interconnected at all, like actual open world MMOs, which means they are far lighter on the CPU and GPU usually.
Much like how people can play console games at 30fps no problem, so long as there isn’t any stuttering and the frame pacing is smooth, same goes for any other game. Oh and the movies you watch in theaters are usually 24fps(they just have good motion blur and frame pacing). It’s the frame pacing that tends to matter more for the player experience, rather than the absolute frame rate.
None of this applies since we are playing on COMPUTERS. Why are you comparing apples to oranges??
More off the wall non-nonsensical paragraphs of nothingness. There is zero content in that post. There is little content in my post too sure, but at least it is SHORT…
I’ve decided to stop waiting for a fix and just unsub. I’ll take a look at this thread once in a while to see if anything ever gets fixed. I never thought I’d end up quitting a Blizzard game due to poor performance!
Well from an objective standpoint, it’s not just WoW having these issues. WoW just happens to bring them out easier due to being able to reliably CPU bottleneck. Feel free to check the Nvidia and AMD forums to see the non-stop crashes, low GPU usage, performance and stutter complaints:
I am alittle tired of pawg chiming in and thinks they know it all. Not only that every one of us knows it’s not our pcs it’s bliz I mean shoot these problems started when dragonflight started no other game does that.
Cancelled my account until it’s fixed. Funilly enough, the cancel subscription button wasn’t there when I went to manage my Subscription. That implies that it’s already been cancelled and I definitely didn’t do it beforehand. For the extra measure I simply removed my payment method to make sure they get no more money out of me until they fix their broken game. I’ll keep checking this topic to see if/when it’s been resolved.
Add me to the list of people who also cancelled their sub until this is fixed. I stuck it out even throughout most of Shadowlands and BFA because at least those expansions didn’t stutter like crazy, despite the subpar content.
Doing stuff like the Dragon races are horrible, love missing a hoop because the game will just freeze randomly for a second.
catching up on ESO before Necrom release, playing with fps smooth as butter, I cancelled my WoW sub 1 week ago, and of the last month I must have played 2 days, before the patch my Wow experience was beautiful, I can’t enjoy an expansion with so many technical problems.
In other news…
Stutters and fps drops were HORRIBLE today… Even in Vanilla, BC and Wraith areas… If it’s a bit better tomorrow than maybe resets, make it worse.
Did some testing on the 10.0.7 PTR and it’s a little more stuttery and less fps than retail.
I tested the Variable Rate Shading (VRS) setting, and it takes GPU usage from 65% in non-intense areas, all the way down to 40% usage and along with it lower fps. Total incompetence from Blizzards side, of course the CPU usage remains high and causes even more bottleneck.
Its sound related for a big bulk of us I think. Or the sound trick would not work for a large portion of us… I am interested in what sound driver / tech he is using.
