Everytime i play wow i will randomly drop so much fps i can go from 150 fps to 5 fps for some reason and its usually consistent at 20 fps and it also lags my computer (like when i open google and stuff) and i notice its only wow i tried hearthstone and it didnt lag my computer at all any1 know why?
WoW is a bit of a resource hog, which is noticeable on older computers.
My last rig was only 5 years old, but I started noticing it was beginning to lag after only 3 years (Right about the time BfA started). After another two years (and going into SL) it was untenable and I had to get a new computer.
This is likely due to a memory issue. Could be your video card is older and is using more resources than it has (and stealing from the rest of your computer) or you just have low memory and you’re trying to do too many things (like opening other apps like Google).
Hearthstone doesn’t use as many resources, BTW.
Without knowing your specs or how old your computer even is, I would consider a video card or memory upgrade (either adding more memory or getting larger sticks if your slots are full).
