Loosing FPS over time, needs to restart wow to fix

So , Ive noticed that I loose around 20fps whenever I play the game. Not sure if it makes a difference if I do dungeons or not, but tonight Thats what I was doing. Happens also after 15-20min playtime.

an example is that after ive done a few dungeons, in Valdrakken im down to 68-70 fps. I can also feel the drop in the dungeons.
Today, I tried going for the world boss. been online for 20min, and noticed the fps drop wher I had to restart the game again.

If I Restart the game, I pop back in game and it runs around 85-90fps going up from 70fps in same spot.

tried /relog, but doesnt work for a refresh. needs to restart whole game

I do,i made thread few days ago.I clearly remember that i used to have 70-90 fps in open world df zones,but recently ive noticed my fps going down after a couple minutes of playing,id say i lose 30-50 fps on average.

The only real problem i had was valdrakken,but i see people complain about valdrakken with beast pcs,mine is quite old now.

I might noticed this, although I use a lot of addons, and usually that causes UI lags and even slows the game down, but I’m not 100% sure yet. I might check utilization of the addons later on, but I should have around 100fps and many times it just max out around 70ish, even on cases where aren’t too many models around me (NPCs nor players). I consider this to an engine flaw nowadays though, the engine is very limited/outdated.
They should upgrade the whole engine for years though.
I’ll check again tonight.

P.S.: I’m not setting the game to ultra, many of my graph. options on medium or even lower.

I have tried so many things now, and nothing seems to help.

I still loose around 20-30 fps after 10-15 min playtime, to the point where I need to restart the game.

/reload is enough, you don’t have to restart game.
