my concern with situations like this is whether blizzard will take action or if we will be waiting 4 months for a patch, most companies tend to not take reports seriously unless thousands of people on twitter and youtube are making a fuss about it
its clear from this thread alone and googling previous PTR threads that this is a widespread issue with many players who arent technically experienced not posting about it or not knowing whats going on.

I’m getting stutters and pretty heavy fps drops as well and was fine before the prepatch.
I also get these stutters in beta as well (and yes, I reported it), but the stuttering only started maybe 3 builds ago or so. I remember exactly when the stuttering started because I logged in and suddenly my dragon riding mount was switched to the Raszageth Customization (I’m not saying that this customization caused the problem btw! I just remember the 2 things came at the same time).
edit: also add in some specs:
win10 at the latest updates
rtx3080ti (DDU w/ updated drivers after the stuttering started on beta)
32gb ddr4
i7 12700k

Yep my fps is lower by 30-40 overall, particularly in my sanctum in Ardenweald, and I’m getting stuttering like crazy. My PC hardlocked as well and I had to force reboot it.

After a full wipe of my wow folder and re-install its slightly improved but still very present, its especially when you first login, even into a new character after logging out that you have to swing around to slow down the stuttering
Its also prelevent when selecting a new mob off in the distance
Some may say “oh well just swing around and ull be fine” or 'wait for it to calm down after a few minutes"
But fact is, in shadowlands, in which i doubt the engine besides the new ui has seen much of an update, was not doing this at all.
Just to add to my previous post, it’s especially prevalent when entering a village or city, its almost like the projected textures feature which loads environment data before you see it on your screen isnt working correctly
I also noticed this on Beta, and on PTR, theirs no way this has not been reported alot by testers
Which makes me very disappointed that the game has been released with such issues that were previously quite obvious

Same problem here, 3090 ti and 12900k, 64gb ddr5 ram, game is installed on a 2TB 980 pro m.2 drive. No other issues with other games. Prepatch is buggy, choppy, and unplayable. Couple buddies with similar specs are having issues as well

Throwing my two cents in as well. Having the exact same issue and it appears to only be WoW retail at the moment since the pre-patch.
Specs:
Intel 10700K
32GB RAM
3070 Ti
Game is on 1TB Samsung 850 Evo
No addons installed, and also cleared Cache and WTF folders just to be sure.

Yeah 12600k and 6900xt here…The GPU usage and clock speeds are horrendous. I’m talking 7%-40% utilization and clock speeds are dropping as low as 80MHz

same problem.
the problem happens specially on crowded areas, but not a regular fps drop, it’s a massive drop plus a crazy stutter that makes the game unplayable. was smooth until yesterday

Also having major stuttering issues since prepatch, coming from no issues before it. It seems to occur whenever loading in new players and textures. After enough time of spinning in circles or running around through all the stuttering, it mostly starts to recover, but anything like moving to a new area, joining a world boss group, etc., causes very noticeable problems. Tried running without addons, DX12, DX11, graphics bottomed out, graphics where I normally have them (which is not very high to begin with!)… nothing seems to help. Went from smooth laps around Oribos to struggling to make the circle.
