Hi

I hope I am posting in the right place! I have a prob with this game.

I have a connect3d X1950XT and a 6400 Dual core 2 ( clocked to 2.88 GHZ ) but even on default settings I am only getting 70 fps.. this is LESS than I was getting with mt old system. ( S939 AMD 64 3700+ with 6600GT ).

Has anybody else had any probs?

Turn off vSync

Then it isn't vsync.

Are you running it in window mode? If you are and your mouse moves to the windows task bar you will get slowdown. It happens to me when I try to open my bags in a rush.

Or maybe you accidently clciked the minimise button of the WoW window. That only minimises it by a fraction.. Just an idea for you to look at.

If its full screen then I cant help you.

EDIT. It always slows down when someone signs in on MSN messenger or my firewall/virus proctection updates.

Does it matter? 70FPS is still probably more than the refresh rate of your monitor, lol

I thought wow was hard locked to 60FPS max on dual core processors? they still havnt patched it yet as far as i know. Mine run at 60fps and never one fps over.

i only get 60fps no matter what, i bet its locked to 60fps only,
and ive got c2d cpu,

mine 2 is locked at 60fps , my spec is below.

it never goes below iver and at full detail and 1920*1200 (ithink)
its more than enough.

This could be the end of The World!

Yup, WoW is locked at 60.

No it isn't, I've had well over 100fps.

eh? im sure it is, or was? :confused:

Edit: with vsync on its 60 locked almost 100% sure.

VeNT · 30 Mar 2007 at 18:40

tbh 70FPS is playable easly, it could be a forced vsync and as others have said its probably faster than your CRT (if you have one) and good enough for a TFT by miles!

Freeman · 30 Mar 2007 at 20:32

I have a TFT screen and regularly hit well over 120 FPS. 70 is absolutely perfect for wow, even 50 fps is!

vsync off.

currently in shattrath with 17 fps average ! SSC regularly drops that to about 5-8.

Anyway to the original point, do you have many mods running? Some can be an annoying drain on fps, even though it wouldnt seem that way initially.

Same here.

With vSync on the FPS is capped at 60FPS

Nothing wrong with 70fps

I've got tons of mods. Must be over 25 now, I also have trinity bars which adds 120 full customisable buttons/bars which actually seems to make the game run even better.

Sure you don't have Vsync on either in the game or in the driver control panel?
