Pretty sure I am not the only one who has this issue but want to post this nonetheless. I randomly get FPS drops from 60 to 30 FPS and it stays like that for about 8-10 secs then jumps back up to 60. This happens every 30-60 seconds at times and I have been messing with my settings to try to get this to stay at 60FPS constantly. Its gotten kinda annoying lately.
Was hoping someone will help me out to get this resolved if its something I can fix.
I am currently running Windows 7 with a Nvidia 980 Ti card with 16 Gigs of RAM and an AMD 8350 eight core processor. In addition my current settings on wow are set with DirectX 12, Vsync on, and triple buffering active.
Any help would be appreciated.
It looks like you have vertical sync turned on. That will drop FPS from 60 to 30 with no in between. Goes 60 - 30 - 15 - 7/8 - you get the picture.
We should take a look at a DXDiag report here Tiatoa.
The second section of page has DXDiag report instructions - we don’t require the MSinfo report.
That will be a wall of text. If you have issues pasting on the Forum here go ahead and put it up on pastebin.com. Provide the link code portion of the URL - example below.

Check your nvidia control panel settings. Scroll down to vsync options. Put it on adaptive vsync. Adaptive vsync will maintain an fps equal to your monitors refresh rate. If your gpu can’t keep up with the refresh rate, then it will run as best it can instead of dropping down to 30fps. For example; you’ll get 60 fps when you can, but if you can’t then it’ll still do 59fps instead of dropping down to 30. I hope this makes sense.
I have had the same issue since patch 8.1.5 and have done everything Blizz support and other players have suggested and nothing works for me so I live with it…in raids and dungeons I don’t have the issue but in world, specially the more player populated areas it gets worse. I really think its an issue on the game side and not anything to do with my graphics card or settings etc.
