What are the best settings for raiding? I have a decent computer with a 3080ti card. Everything is pretty new. For whatever reasson I have issue with performance in 25 man raids and its killing my dps at times. Any suggestions?
The best settings are the ones the match your comp.
If nvidea for example use there optimizer to set it up for you amd has same. To get the general settings. This is true for any game.
Same goes for cashe options if a good m.2 ssd for c drive the default is fine but if little room left (shouldent be as don’t want to let your os one get that full), if not cash to ram what ram was made for Donno why blizzard doaebt want to use ram for what ram was made for.
Set direct x to the one that works for your comp. the one that is best is highly dependent on comp.
Every comp dose better or worse based on settings and you got to adjust based on your comp not what people tell you to do this is why optimization programs like GeForce experience exists. If your just going to use general settings why get a better than avg comp in the first place just get a avg one as that’s all the power you will use.
Okay, someone in english.

Download Nvidia GeForce. Click Wow on their menu of your games. Click optimize. Done.

I have geforce experience. It says game can not be optimized.
Seems odd, I have a 3080 and I run on ultra.
Is it specific fights where you’re getting fps drops?
What are your current settings?
What are your computers full specs?
This is a widespread problem, unfortunately. Even the best rigs are behaving sluggish in 25m raids.
WoW is a CPU-bound game. Aside from upgrading to something like a 5800x3d (where the extra cache makes a huge difference in terms of performance), you have to experiment to see what works best for you.
The best advice is to see if you have any weakauras/addons that are using a lot of resources and disable those. I recommend disabling Questie, AH addons, and changing your Details update interval.

add-ons are most likely the culprit, you’re probably optimized naturally when you log into wow but it doesn’t take into consideration to all of the add-ons. Try this, turn off all add-ons, and do a trial engage on a particular fight and see how much better the performance is than normally. Lower the video settings till you get the best performance, you can also in the key-binding settings find toggle FPS, and see the changes in real time to make sure you’re as optimized as possible.
Yea wow is more cpu than gpu.
I have a 3080 which is around 10% slower than his 3080 TI.
I do have an I7 12700k, but he didn’t link his full specs and maybe he has an older CPU that’s bottlenecking his performance?
I run on ultra np.

My processor is a little older.
Intel(R) Core™ i9-9900K CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz
That doesn’t seem bad.
How much ram do you have?
It doesn’t seem to be your PC specs tbh.
32 gigs of ram.
Yea it isn’t your PC.
My.pc.is very similar.
Your GPU is 10% faster my CPU is faster.
I have 32g of ddr5 and you also have 32g.
Most likely add-ons.
I don’t use many addons. Details refresh is set to 2. DBM, a couple WAs, aptechka, atlas loot.
I’m going to delete my addon folder and reinstall fresh. Maybe that will help.
put everything on 7
my old comp was fine all classic, until i stepped in a wrath 25. then for the first few weeks of wrath raiding i was getting literally less than 1 fps during any combat. A better cpu fixed it for me. The 25 raids seem really poorly optimized cpu-wise. Also maybe disable Details the addon is a mega cpu hog (mainly in wintergrasp but slightly in 25 mans).
edit should have just hearted the above dudes before i replied but yea i agree with all of them
Everything on 1 for raids, the dummest of things will tank your FPS so you might as well try to mitigate it as much as you can.
Latency?, rendering? Are you hardlined or sharing a wifi connection? Might want to consider a better router cause that ultimatley will be the data choke point, especially on recycled cable company rental routers, unless its wifi6, its a one lane road in and out, your router may actually be throttling your bandwidth just to accomodate other devices in the que.
Latency typically isn’t the issue. I have my own router and am hardlined.

Thats good, Im not a comp guru so other than offering advice from a general diagnostic procedures, make sure device is plugged in, check connections, etc. Finding gremlins in a mechanical system is similar to scientific method. Controlled testing and process of elimination. Like turning addons off to check them off as a cause. The key is to only make one change at a time so you can target the cause, this is the control factor. Hoope that helps and I explained it well enough to understand,
