Is anyone running into low FPS issues … pretty much game wide ? Im running a top of the line system AMD 3950X and an EVGA RTX 3090 FTW 3 ULTRA. Im seeing 30 to 50 FPS in boralus on settings 10 and 60 to 70 in settings 7. RTX OFF OR ON. This is insanely bad. Every other game runs amazing. Fresh windows 10 install version 20H2. How do I upload the DXDiag ? Cant do it anymore. Like this is really really bad for the fastest gaming graphics card on the planet + the 3rd fastest CPU on the market ( I have a 5950x on back order). My 2080ti & 1080ti both pull better FPS than this.

I love how I cant get a single blue post or message on this.
Love the support or lack there of …

Now you have me worried. My new system is going to be running a 5900X and a ASUS Strix 3090 OC Edition. I am just waiting for those parts to be delivered.
I think its a CPU bottle neck but I also dont think they have optimized for the 30 series cards yet. The 3950x lags behind a tad bit and I run at 3440x1440p. The 5950x should perform better than anything but if its a GPU issue then IDK. The problem is both my 1080ti and 2080ti run faster at the same settings as the 3090 using the same CPU … not joking.

I believe that could happen. I have an AMD R9 390 running the game in 4K resolution at settings level 6. It averages about 50/60 frames, but that’s in cities and dungeons. I cant tell you how that would work in a raid. I just came back to the game after a long break.
well damn … I’m experiencing this too with a 3090 FE and 9900K CPU. I also re-installed windows fresh. I’m experiencing a ton of fps / latency issues doing the dailies in IC that I thought were related to amount of people, but now I wonder if its card related.
/sigh
This has made the game playable for me … even in IC hunting rares.
- Navigate to your install of WoW in File Explorer Typically found @ "C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft_retail_"
- Locate the Wow.exe and right click on it and select Properties
- Go to the “ Compatibility ” tab and put a check in the box that says " Disable Fullscreen Optimizations ”
Im actually highly confident ive found the issue. Its a freaking GPU memory leak. I was playing the game for a little over 2 hours and I noticed memory creep up on my gpu. WoW starts off at around 5GB of video memory and then over time it ramps up to as much as 13GB of the card. I dont think this is intended.
@xotic Where you able to fix the problem?
Having the same issue with my 1660 Ti, watching my framerates fluctuate just standing in Oribos or Ardenweld. Every time I open the AH I get DC’d. I’ve never had an issue with my computer (it’s a year old today) until 9.01 and I didn’t have this issue during beta.
It was the CPU fam. AMD is still really just that far behind in 3000 series and below. I upgraded to a 5950x and went from 75fps at 10 with ray tracing off to 150fps + with raytracing on at 10+ settings. I doubt this game even touches the GPU at all. My new System Specs
I’ve the same issue with the RTX 3090.
It’s very disappointing investing in such equipment and get low FPS.
No issues here. I have a 3090 + 5950x and rarely drop under 100 FPS at 5120x1440 at nearly maxed settings. It of course happens from time to time, but it’s rare.
I’ve a RTX 3090 + AMD Ryzen 9 3950X and my fps floats all the time. Using the settings from GeForce Experience
Wondering if there are any updates on this issue? I am seeing this in Classic (RIP)
Specs:
3090 FE
Ryzen 9 3900x
Corsair vengeance pro 3600
No thermal issues… I have noticed during raids, specifically in Naxx my FPS consistently dips below 60. Granted I understand the “stress” all the moving parts on screen would put on the hardware, but just seems strange with all the horse power under the hood lol.
All drivers are up to date and made the adjustments outlined in the compatibility tab.

Juut got a nvidia rtx3090, same issue. I run at 3440x1440p. get about 90fps in full screen mode. Monitor is 120hz Alienware 34" widescreen. LIke seriously, can’t run this old game at 120hz with a RTX 3090 (CPU is i7 8700k), system has 32gb ddr4 ram. Sad.
WoW is very CPU bound, so that’s where your focus needs to be, not your GPU.
The trend I’m seeing is a lot of CPUs a gen or two old (not that that should be terrible, but…) and a 30 series GPU. Getting a beefy GPU simply isn’t going to give a huge fps bump in WoW. It’ll let you turn up the anti-aliasing settings, and RTX, maybe bump a resolution or two, but it’s not going to be a massive increase.
Your CPU, primarily single-threaded ones, are going to be your biggest boost in WoW. RAM probably second, followed a fairly distant third by GPU in terms of what will give you the biggest increase. Doesn’t matter if you have a 24 core/48 thread Threadripper, WoW will use, at the absolute most, 2.5 cores of your CPU. Your GPU will only factor in in terms of the extra eye candy in game (resolution, particle density, ray tracing/shadows, anti-aliasing, ground clutter, etc.). AMD CPUs and GPUs tend to struggle a bit more than their Intel/Nvidia counterparts, so if you’re running AMD, temper your expectations that much more.
If you’re running at 4K, graphics setting 10 with everything on ultra thinking you’re even going to hit a consistent 60fps - expect disappointment. Doesn’t matter what hardware you have.
I am having this same issue with an intel i9-12900ks and a 3090fe. Cannot seem to fix it. Huge bummer, cannot get above 50fps. It may not be your cpu, unless it’s mine too:/
