Hi,
Recently I have been getting noticeable stuttering in wow, wheneverI am in any wow content my character and or anything around me will suffer frame stuttering. However I cannot seem to find out why or how this is happening. I just built a new PC its a Ryzen 7800X3D with 32GB of ram a 2tb gen 5 SSD and a 4080 Super. Im playing on a new 34inch OLED monitor too all of which worked amazing with wow up until the 11.0.5 patch.
Since this patch and this issue started i have tried everything i could think of to fix this. I have used DDU and reinstalled my graphcis driver from scratch, i have repasted my CPU, i have deleted all the addons and tried without any, reintalled the game twice amount removing all background software including overlays. I have also tried every in game setting such as direct x 11 and 12 also vsync on or off and every other iteration of setting you can think of. I can with all of this play games such as cyber punk on ultra at 108FPS and Warhammer 40k at 140FPS on ultra with 0 issues this seems to be on the side of wow.
Please someone help me

Try a CVAR reset. /console cvar_default
Presuming you backed up your addons/UI, etc. WTF/Addon wipes don’t reset your CVARs, so it’s good to do this in tandem when trying to clear an issue.
What type of stutter are you getting? A constant, consistent one, or intermittent one? Typically, I find stutters to be an underlying issue from Windows or a third party software, as the hardware-side is usually from very dated CPUs, or failing CPU/RAM/PSU–but this presents as a universal problem.
I had a horrific stutter in raid/BG situations in early Dragonflight. I had to do a full reset twice before it went away, but that was on my old PC (8700k/1070 Ti). I’m currently on a 7800X3D/7900 XT with no issues.

Its a consistent one, every 4 or so seconds it skips a frame or two.
I tested it on my old pc too same issue completely different hardware and different addons saved. I can try this but im really leaning towards an issue on blizzards end.

I’ve been having the same issue. It’s driving me nuts. I moved my router yesterday and hardwired my network connection and I thought I fixed it because I went from 80-120FPS to up over 200FPS but now, as I type this, I’m sitting idle in Dornogal with about 50-70FPS.
I have sometimes found that fps drops in major towns are down to many npcs in an area as well as players as well as size of the city zone. Some have always complained of fps drops in major hub zones for many years, Orgrimar, Dalaran and Oribos as an example. It seems you’ve done all the common fixes that can fix this, hope you can find a fix.
Not much to do, just lower your graphics…
WoW engine is old, it’s poorly optimized and they know it…
Whenever i’m in town i get incredible fps drop, and both my CPU and GPU are under 50% load.
I play with a 34" monitor, 2k resolution, using a I9 13900K with a 4070 ti super, also a nvme 980 PRO (only games on it)…
The trick was to go for 1080P resolution and go for upscaling
Sad but true.
I dunno i reckon its on blizzards end. I never had this issue before.
Ok so I disabled addons (Details, DBM, RaiderIO, and TomTom) and it made a negligible difference to stuttering in some less populated areas but not much at all in Dornogal. The game is playable but its irritating as hell, seeing as how I’m playing on a brand new Alienware gaming laptop with 32 gigs of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070. The PC is used exclusively for the game and has optimized settings. I’m thinking it may be that my internet isn’t good enough.

If your internet was dropping packets or too slow, people would be running in place, etc.
My first instinct with laptops is the power settings and functions throttling your hardware to conserve battery life.

This just started happening to me, too, same exact timeline as OP. Never happened before, happening now once every 3-4 seconds in game.
Same thing, happening since my battle.net app updated wow (maybe related to latest patch?)
It´s playable, but I went from 144 fps to 12-14fps… if I set everything to low I get 20-30fps…
after trying many things, I reinstalled Nvidia drivers and the issue is now fixed
