Hey guys. Bought a PC for a lot of money so that it could run WoW flawlessly. Ryzen 9 and a rtx 2070 super with 3200Mhz 16 Gigs of RAM and it runs 3v3’s and raids like garbage; I have to put settings on 5 for this.
Intention for the PC was, that it should handle WoW on ultra no matter what with a minimum of 100 fps.
any solutions? sry for bad english
Hello !
It will be better if you make topic in these forums :
Good luck !
3200 mhz and 100 fps? Lolwat. Not even my 9900k @ 5 ghz can manage 100 fps on ultra. I have 70 fps in boralus when it’s empty, get to like 40-50 when there’s actually people online.
Just drop the level on a few things that you don’t notice, Water for one thing.
Make sure Warcraft is using the right graphics card.
I have the best specs you can possibly buy and I can’t get 144fps on 8.
It’s not your PCs fault and no, there is no solution for this.
You know what is weird? That WoW doesn’t really respect hardware power in any logical way 
I changed my PC recently into something better.
This is what I had:
-Intel Core i3-8100
-16 GB RAM @ 2400 MHz
-MSI GTX 1050Ti GamingX 4 GB
This is what I have now:
Ryzen 5-3600
Gigabyte RTX 2060 Super WindforceOC (8 GB VRAM)
16 GB RAM @ 3200 MHz
And you know what? Old PC ran WoW at higher framerate at medium settings xDDDD
Sure, the new PC can push higher quality settings, such as MSAA x4, most stuff on ultra, rarely dropping below 60, only Boralus 45-50
But not even close to 144 FPS my monitor could be able to display.
At “6” settings old PC had 80 FPS in Boralus. New one has 55. WTF is happening in there.
That’s on your gpu, not cpu.
Theres not much you can do. WoW is a pretty badly optimized game in terms of engine and overall performance, so you’ll get fps drops in certain places no matter how powerful your PC is.
Just look at Method’s 30 mages video. They’ve had mini freezes and fps drops from time to time, and they use the best equipment money can buy.
They also use a gozzilion adds and weak auras on top of an already modified interface. It’s a lot of stuff to handle even on a solid pc.
I fixed my random freeze problems simply by purging the paladins weakauras i got from waigo and remaking them myself.
Something is not quite right. Either something in the system isn’t setup correctly (drivers, RAM etc) or you have nvidia drivers conflicting with some other driver which sometimes happen.
Frequency is not the only aspect of WoW performance. Boralus is more of a render challenge than a CPU limited scenario.
You have to troubleshoot a bit. If you changed settings then the results may be vastly different. Boralus is a complex rendering challenge and any change to GPU side will affect FPS greatly.
It performs really well, don’t mistaken it with server trying to handle PvP for multiple players 
Not really, wow doesn’t stress my gpu at all.
Don’t use Windows built in load indicator, it’s not “accurate”. More accurate would be MS Process Explorer and MSI afterburner. For example Vega 64 at 3440x1440 doing a Boralus flyby is “used” at 50-70% - from my older BfA benchmarks. If you disable FPS limits and go to a really old zone you may even capping the GPU at around 200-300FPS Or even in new zones there are spot with varying level of CPU/GPU load.
There will be cases where you will see GPU and main CPU core not loaded at 100% - wherever limited by throughput or game logic.
I’m not. I’m going by temperature. Games stressing my gpu will put it at like close to 80c. In WoW it doesn’t even go high enough to trigger the fans unless I’m in a dungeon during an encounter.
WoW rarely has constant high load on the GPU. You would have to disable the FPS cap and go to old zones, menus, caves and alike.
It never has high load on the gpu unless I put resolution to 200% and put anti-aliasing on max. WoW uses as much cpu as it can though. It’s cpu that’s restricting me, not my gpu.
