That’s because of the higher boost speeds but clock for clock there’s little difference. My 6700k was also getting a bit sluggish in the end I had that overclocked to 4.6Ghz all core at 1.37v for about 4 years.

Intel still have higher boost clocks so it would likely be the same result, in order to really measure architecture performance you should set the clocks to the same frequency.

I see. Thanks for the tip - we learn something new everyday

My pc history started at pentium D, the first dual core CPU and the cores couldnt even communicate, that was coupled with 4gb ram cant remember frequency and a Nvidia 9600GT and that was back in vanilla wow. Then onto Haswell 4770 and a 770 gpu 8gb of ram, then the 6700k with 16gb of ram.
My new system (ps my ram is terribe now due to lat)
5800x CPU
RMX 850w PSU full moduar
32Gb Corsair Vengeance (terrible latencies) CL 18
Gigabyte Aorus Elite Mobo
Deepcool AK620 Air Cooler (currently best in the world air cooler)
Samsung 980 Pro NVMe SSD
A note about ram memory for more info for you, if you use sites for “Samsung B die Finder” that should show you the product numbers for alll memory modues known to have samsung B die on them. Renowned for its performance since onlly 3 companies in the world make memory, samsung, sk hynix and micron. You can find out what yours is by getting a program called Typhoon Burner. I would only use that to look if you dont know what youre doing.
My GTX 1080 has micron memory so I cant budge the frequency on that but I can get about 120Mhz on the core speed. Again same with GPU’s you can hunt for the ones with Samsung memory etc, you will often pay the premium for these guarantees.
oh aye, and GPU-Z will tell you what memory modules you have on your GPU 
Does it run on low FPS when you are outside of major cities?
My fps is mostly ok but does drop in cities dungs . I have put an overlay monitor on and can see my GPU is the bottleneck getting up to 90% use. Everything else has not much usage.
Gpu should always bottle neck if you have vsync etc off. Your graphics card will always just draw more frames if you don’t have settings that lock frame rate at a set value.
What resolution are you playing at?
Any chance you could screenshot all your in game settings and post them here?
Another thing worth checking is your cpu temp, for instance i sent my mother a new cpu and she never plugged the cooler fan header back in properly and was getting terrible fps. I had to remote control her PC, installled HW Info64 and noticed her CPU was thermal throttling down to like 600Mhz and running at 100c. She had missed 1 pin of the 4 for the cpu cooler fan so it wasnt running.
P.S Make sure your render scaling is set to 100%. If you’re on a 4k and this is set to 200% you’re basically rendering the game at 8k. Or if 1440p youre rendering the game at 4k which is also still quite tough on high end GPU’s. I think the 40 series is starting to be able to sustain 4k @ 144fps but still id argue we arent quite at the 4K high refresh yet unless you have some insane 3 - 5 grand system.
It could be the game itself or the update of drivers for your GPU if you installed new recently.
Had similar experience - did update my Nvidia drivers the other da my and my ingame FPS was capped at 8fps - no matter which setting i put,deleted addons and everything and it still didn’t get fixed.
Had to reinstall WoW completely to get it fixed.
Now as others have said, DF dungeons or better yet the whole expansion seems a bit unoptimized.
I got i9-12900kf + rtx 4090 and my FPS in Valdrakken is around 80-90 ( was barely 70 a week ago, so idk what changed)
In dungeons it jumps from 120-165 ( got it capped at 165 since my monitor is 165hz)
And in raid it’s 165 constantly - if i unlock fps it’s maxed at 200.
Doesn’t matter if i play on 1440p or 4k.
If you have good internet - try reinstalling WoW.

I play on 1440p with a GTX 1080 and get better fps than that in Valdrakken. If I were you id be monitoring everything and finding out what’s going wrong because your system should be performing better than that.
Maybe not quite after checking but sustain the 70 on max settings. Id have thought a 4090 would be in excess of the 100.
https://imgur.com/a/hIKmWtkDidn’t they remove it? I searched for that everywhere but it’s nowhere to be found so I just assumed they did.
Its right down the bottom past the raid graphics settings.
dont forget about addons. i have around 20fps more without any addon. Combat, nameplate addons, weakauras etc. but of course this game isnt playable for me without it
(wow isn’t optimized since years)
wow is worse optimized the any new mmo …
Oh, I thought the Raid setting were a headline and assumed everything below that was related to that 
. Thanks.
I’m fairly sure but would need to check, but i think WoW’s engine can only use 1 core on your cpu unless thats been updated.
Edit: Looks like they have finally updated the engine to run on more from what i am reading.
https://www.wowhead.com/guide/world-of-warcraft-performance-benchmarking-and-troubleshooting-175563440 x 1440. I have a good CPU cooler and CPU load/temp isn’t the problem . Temperatures seem fine pc running pretty silent with WoW. I have overclocked my GPU a touch now. The game is perfectly playable. I suppose asking to run a 34" monitor in ultra settings is asking a lot. My system is £3K plus hence I a bit disappointed with the fps. Red redemption 2 at ultra is averaging 70 fps. same as Microsoft flight sim. I noticed switching from ultra to high didn’t really make a difference. There are still many areas where I am 50-60 fps
Its the resolution, serious 4k is just a bit too tough for most GPU’s atm. Another point about 4k is you dont need the sharpening settings, you should have a real close look at the screen while changing these settings and tone them down to the point where you see the difference changing. Or try playing games at 1440p, its still a nice res, not too sure about it at 32" mind you, 27" is really a sweet spot for 1440p.
