looking for some help, i recently upgraded from a rtx 2080 super to a RX 7900 XTX and my performance has gone down.
Im getting like 100-120fps while sat in places and when i pull a mythic raid boss like 30-40fps. at level 7 graphics @1440p
Im running a i9 9900k, 32gb 3200mhz ram. No temp issues all max out at like 60 degrees under load but idles less.
Have tried so many things to fix it but just feels terrible and cant figure out a fix which is frustrating after just pumping money into the new card. I appreciate the cpu is a couple of years old but should be more than capable of more than 30-40fps in wow on bosses surely?
The game is very CPU bound and especially after Dragonflight hit with the game engine issues Blizzard keeps quiet about. Youâre getting CPU bottleneck and this even happens on 13900K/4090 systems.
Its also a new card, so may well be worth looking into and driver issues with it.
AMD GPUâs have a bit of a murky history.
The RAM capacity is largely irrelevant, and an i9 9900k shouldnt really be having any major issues, is not as powerful as a current gen CPU but it shouldnt be tanking like that, sounds more like a configuration issue than a hardware one.
WoW is CPU heavy, rather than GPU, and you might find it useful to get a trial version of 3DMark and run some benchmarking. Also, given teh game is CPU heavy you may want to change some of your graphics settings, different games have different âpreferencesâ.
I did benchmarkst he toher day on âuserbenchmarkâ with everything performing very well. It seems to be some link between wow and my system as the system performs well
From what I remember, userbenchmark is worthless sponsored content, its not an accurate benchmarking platform.
Id use 3DMark, and try something like HWMonitor and Prime95 to stress test the system and monitor results.
Iâd also look at making sure you did a proper clean install of the graphics card and there are no chipset driver updates (should be able to get toold to check that from Intel and AMD) you might want to use DDU to get a proper removal of the nvidia driver files and then install the AMD GPU ones fresh.
If theres no issues with software/configuration then it leaves you with the first point, WoW is CPU heavy and Dragonflight needs something your i9 is struggling with.
Personally, up until 13th gen, Intel CPUâs arent particularly great performers in most gaming realms compared to AMD unless your maxing out 1080p framerates on minimal graphic settings for competitive gaming.
The most likely issue is the CPU reliance and resolution output.
Drop like 20-30fps on max even if i turn everything to 1 graphics just out in the open im only just hitting 200 fps which i think is still kinda low considered?
look back at my streams im getting similar fps to my old card, but i still dont get how a i9 9900k is capping out at 30fps in fights with average graphics.
i9 9900 is what, 5 years old now?
The platform is a year or two off from end of life realistically. Look at graphics settings and reduce things like spell effects and computational stuff (like fog particles) you should still be able to tweek it enough that it will cope, but with WoW being CPU heavy, theres not much you can do. is teh motherboard socket is already at teh highest spec CPU it will take, then youâre stuck. New motherboard is basically new system.
Next system build anyone should be looking at now is realistically going to be around DDR5 and PCI 5.0 so worth holding off a year while market calms down a little and its past the âbl;eeding edgeâ issues of being brand new tech.
AMD You must be new to theirs cards. Some bugs never get fixed. I got a fix RETURN 7900xtx get 3080 wow will run like a dream. Every amd card i ever purchased was crap in some way. Example ??

afaik they not fixed it to this day Had black screens on 290x myself. I gave up on AMDs cards after they lied about Fury X âoverclockers dreamâ That was overclocking locked for 6 months and when guys cracked it turns out there was like 20mhz headroom cause amd maxed silicone out lol
I am running i9 9900k with Nvidia 3070ti and game is running fine for me at 1440p . My guess is your amd video card drivers are messing your performance .
The drivers are upto date according to the amd software, what fps are you getting on what settings out of interest?
Like sat in valdrakken and in dungeons / raids?
A 4090 wont be helping this situation⌠its not a gaming GPU.
I am still amazed, that in 2022, people still dont understand GPUâs at all and do stupid stuff like pairing high spec GPUâs to 1080p monitors or sticking graphic/game design GPUâs in a gaming rig. With a Nvidia 4000 series GPU there is practically no reason to look higher than a 4070 on a 1440p system, even with hardcore monitors like G9âs (which -might- have some benefit from a 4080 but very little).
