Many stutters in Midnight - question about performance

Necessary specs info:

  • AMD Ryzen 5600
  • MSI Nvidia GeForce 3070 TI
  • 32GB (2x16) RAM
  • WoW running on SSD

I have noticed a high amount of stutters in Dornogal, Stormwind and Silvermoon. Apart from that, in quest hubs around Eversong Woods they are present too, though not as extreme.

Currently on Live, my performance is ok with the settings I have (medium-to-high) in capitals and outdoor zones. Dornogal’s always been on the lower end but I’m used to that now.

My biggest drawback of my build is my Ryzen 5600x. My biggest mistake is not having bought an X3D-processor. As AMD stopped producing 5700 and 5800 X3D models (correct me if wrong) and my PC is turning 5 years old soon, it feels like I have to consider going to AM5 (or similar) with entirely new hardware (rip wallet).

Anyway, I’ve read that the recommended specs for running Midnight include a RTX 40-series (or 8GB VRAM). My 3070TI has 8GB of VRAM so that should technically be fine.
Some players do not have stuttering at all on beta, so that tells me it’s something on my end, rather than it being general issues.

If anyone can give me advice or reassurance, it’d be very welcoming!

Midnight has performance issues ATM - devs are working on it.
