ran Grim Batol yesterday with zero issues.
Could be something on your system that doesn’t like this instance as well.

everything below 120+ fps in a 12 year old dungeon indicates to me there is an issue, i was hovering in 60-70 for some reason.

I have literally 15 FPS ingame, 60-70 FPS is a luxery!

It’s an old dungeon but a ton of spells and effect were reworked for the M+ season. It’s far from the same dungeon it was back in the day when it comes to the mechanics and spell effects.

on the way down to the last boss i thought of it. im in a little inclosed space with nothing going on, why on earth am i not 120+ fps here.

guess they infected the dungeon with the unoptimized code when making it m+ ready?

so if your pc was developed 8 years after grim batol that means it is 6 years old :sunglasses:

How many WAs and addons are you running?
Addons like TSM and ATT can decrease your fps by like 10 each.

The spell effects for both your party and the mobs are not the same anymore (including the affix), so it will defo not run as smooth as it used to.

The Grim Batol of Cata and the Grim Batol of TWW arent the same. Neither, or rather especially, are the spells active within the dungeon. Not to mention addons and weakaura that can cause issues.

Welcome to ancient engines. The only thing surprising is that this thing is still capable of running in the first place.

Multitude of reasons. Including addons (and if its an addon reason then the issue doesnt lie with Blizzard as they have stated if an addon screw something up its none of their business and they don’t care as they arent the ones developing them)

Yeah that too. So 6 year old PC may run into issues here and there quite easily. Especially more so if the rig is lacking on the CPU front.

Also try these and see if it helps:

How many AddOns, WeakAuras and the like are you running now?
Standard Draw Distance etc back then was probably a 6 or 7 on the current scale also.

The age of the terrain has no impact when it is the spells that are causing the lag.

And it is, I guarantee it.

I have 0 issue in dungeon despite my pc starting to have few years on its back.

I have really few WAs tho, like Tirna one, and a couple of buff tracker.

Its all the numbers and procc calculations, I think.

It’s irrelevant how old or new your computer is.

I’ve got a 7900x and a 4090.

My FPS is still horrible in WoW. The GPU barely see any use because the game is CPU-bound.

Luckily I got this computer to be able to play other games at max graphics, not to play only WoW.

You’d have to check task manager to see whether it’s your GPU or CPU that’s maxed out, keeping in mind that for CPU looking at the average is pointless, if the last core is above 95% then no need to troubleshoot further.

But yeah, realistically in WoW anything above 60 is the best you can hope for in dungeons. In raids you’re lucky if you can see anything during some phases.

Omg that’s disgustingly low. Grab the pitchforks

If your PC is 6 years old a simple clean out might help. I gained 10fps in some more demanding games just be re-installing a 3 year old windows install.

Also check and remove any weakauras you aren’t using, they’re still loaded, even if they don’t show.

Clean out and delete any addons you don’t need anymore.

fps are tied to the megs hertz of your moniter , 120 mega hertz = 60 fps , so to see 120 fps would need a 240 mega hertz moniter and a rig that could run it and they are not cheap.

i have a 120hz monitor and it can show 120 fps-
