Crazy FPS drops when panning camera since prepatch?

Hi all.

After some digging I believe I might have found the reason for the stutter issues. Blizzard recently added a new option called GxAllowCachelessShaderMode. The default value is 1 but when I disabled it, the stutter was like 99% better. At least in my case! To try it out you can do it with 2 ways:

  1. AdvancedInterfaceOptions addon → Cvar browser → search for “gx” and then set GxAllowCachelessShaderMode to “0”
    or
  2. open your WoW folder directory and under Retail > WTF > Config.txt paste this into the file: SET GxAllowCachelessShaderMode “0”

Hope I helped :slight_smile:
