My son plays Wow and recently i upgrade his Pc to a 2500k 4.6 gig 8 gig mem. He had 4890 crossfire and getting 30fps average dropping to 7 fps in raids. So i changed them to a MSI 6970 Twin Frozr III now 60fps but still dropping very low fps in raids, is this normal for WoW.
Help with Wow fps.

Not with that rig, in a raid it should be fine, even the 4890 crossfire should have been more than enough.
Try toning down sunshafts and shadows, if he is on a 64 bit operating system, try using the 64 bit client, it is meant to help performance. It is still early days for it though.

I have only a 4.2ghz 920 and I dont drop below 30-40fps in raids with everything maxed.
I would check to see what background programs he has running and what is eating the resources, because low FPS with your system shouldn't be happening.
You could try using the 64bit WoW client to see if it helps the FPS any. I'm told it does.

Probably addons and really messy config files.
Do a FULL fresh install, FRESH addon installs and reconfigure from scratch.
While the portability of the client and copying is handy it gets messy. Sometimes you need a fresh install....a good chance to do the 64bit client also.

Mods can also be a factor for poor fps.
WoW is most dependent on the CPU for its performance, especially in raids and encounters that have a lot of players and NPCs
One thing you could try to do it set WoW to use 4x Anti-Aliasing and 8x Anisotropic Filtering. This will prevent your GPU from downclocking (if it is what's causing the issue), which was an annoying issue I had when I last played. Also, stick shadows on Low, or whatever the setting's called, so that it's not using Dynamic Shadows. They really hurt the CPU afaik, especially in raids where the Dynamic Lighting and Shadows are to the extreme.
