Been getting huge performance issues lately as of 8.3 release. Massive FPS drops notably in new Vision zones as well as just all BfA zones overall. On top of which, WoW seems to be drawing considerably more RAM than normal as well as it also seems to have impacted my CPU usage to the point it overcaps whenever I do anything outside of WoW while WoW is open. Nothing has changed with my system, so it must be something to do with this new patch. I run the game on Dx12 as that gives me 20 more FPS but even with this it’s still atrocious in terms of performance.
It has a lot to do with graphics and other artistic choices. For me there’s something wrong with the 2nd part of the Mechagon dungeon in the residential area where I can barely get 15 fps. At same settings I am able to get almost 200 stable overlooking an entire Legion continent standing above Suramar.
For example with the heart chamber scenario where Ra-den sacrifices himself I was afraid my CPU or graphics card might blow up considering how bad the FPS drop got. It had everything to do with the purple graphics.

To be able to look into this more can you give us these Hey, this forum doesn’t allow me to post links so I’m not sure how I’m supposed to send you the files. I have both of them up on OneDrive but yeah, can’t post the link.
