Low FPS on Ryzen 5 3600

Support Technical Support

I’m getting lower than expected FPS on my Ryzen 5 with a 1060 6GB (10-30 FPS in nazjatar with settings maxed)

I need some help troubleshooting what the issue might be and how to fix it

Ryzen is not the optimal CPU for World of Warcraft which is still very single-thread dependent, which means that Intel is the preferred choice for WoW.

1060 is not powerful enough for Nazjatar with settings on Ultra. Basically you are expecting too much of a mid-range setup.

Start by turning your graphics settings down somewhat.

I have spoken to several people with similar setups to mine who get around 60 - 80 FPS in the same environment. Something definetelys eems amiss here

You should be getting more than 10fps, indeed.

But with your settings “maxed out”, that GPU is really going to suffer. I would have expected around 30 to 50fps with that GPU and Ultra settings.

My tests so far seem to indicate I am getting worse performance than with my I5 3570k, which Im finding it hard to believe. I feel like some hardware is wrong but I have no idea what

To much hearsay to little content. Especially if it’s Zen 2 with higher single core than Intel and higher IPC than Intel.

Mode 7 or some custom settings around it at best.

Time to monitor and debug stuff.

  • Check for windows, drivers updates

  • Optionally BIOS update (if they have some AGESA updates or fixes)

  • Check in BIOS if RAM is working at it XMP profile and not some low frequency by default

  • Run userbenchmark benchmarks and check your hardware percentiles. If CPU is on very low percentile then it has a problem, if not it’s something else. Same for GPU, storage, RAM etc. Re-run the benchmark while the game is running and is slow.

  • Test without Any Addons.

  • Run LatencyMon and check what it indicated when game is running really slow

  • Run ProcessExplorer (MS additional free app) and see what resources wow.exe is using when the game is slow (including stuff like network usage)

  • Run pathping/looking-glass on the server your game is connected to while it’s slow (Blizz has help pages on this)

  • Use HwInfo to monitor temperatures, frequencies and resource usage of every aspect of your system while the game is slow.

  • Check if your SSD storage isn’t close to full (performance will degrade in such cases)

Did you install the latest AMD drivers for your mainboard?
