Nvidia Driver Frame Limiter

Looking for some clarity if Nvidia’s new frame limiter might cause stability issues with the WoW client. I enjoyed using it, but WoW seemed to crash randomly when enabled. I’m not sure if it was an addon problem, or the limiter as both could be root causes.

I have it disabled now and don’t have any issues. I am curious if the wow client has a built in frame limiter even if the frame limits are checked off in advanced settings which could cause a conflict.

Turning it off disables it so there should be no conflict.

I believe you’re incorrect. I’ve read in some articles that there is an embedded vsync/frame limiter that doesn’t have a current UI element setting, but is instead embedded in the game client.

After troubleshooting, I’ve determined that the Nvidia driver-based frame limiter is what was causing my wow crashing. I eliminated various other items, such as UI, overclock, programs that were also crashing at the same time wow.exe was. Disabling the driver-based frame limiter resolved it.
