Technical problem with performance - WOW

Hello, i have a big technical problem with playing World of Warcraft.

I thought that the problem is in the PC but problem might be in my setup / windows / nvidia / amd / game settings.

I play on 3 monitors .
Primary monitor is my 55inch TV with 120hz , put through HDMI cabel to graphics card. 55" (LG OLED55C12). I play with HDR on , 3840 x 2160 pixels.
Other 2 monitors are old random samsungs 24 inches with 60 Hz. Both put on hdmi cable with DVI-D extension to graphics card.

Just to say this. I play all kind of games, League of Legends, Battlefield 2042 , Counter-Strike , Hunt Showdown, Mordhau etc.
There isnt a single problem playing all these types of game.

But when I turn on World of Warcraft the battle begins. Even if I put graphics on low 1/10 the game still gives me very little fps.
In Dornagal / Orgrimmar it falls under 60 fps. Cant even speak about raiding . On 1/10 graphics it felt more like powerpoint presentation then playing actual game.
I keep getting micro-stuttering in dungeons and in zones with more players. It is really annoying.
I have tried to play with graphics , i have tried to play with turning off and on addons. Nothing helps

Many articles, forum posts , youtube videos, nothing helped . I seriously thought that problem is my primary PC :
SPECS :
ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 4090 O24GB White
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
G.SKILL 32GB KIT DDR5 6000MHz CL30 Trident Z5 NEO AMD EXPO
GIGABYTE B650 GAMING X AX V2
Samsung 980 PRO 2 TB - 2X+

but no. I have tried another PC with similar build , but with 4070 and AMD 5800 and the games still behaves same which I think might be problem in my monitor setup, but then why all other games run ok only this one dont ?
Could it be HDR ? Resolution scaling ? I am starting to losing my mind

All new games runes smoooothly on my setup, only this 20 year old game is giving me ickes .

Of course all drivers are uptaded, just as Bios.

Would be welcome for all kind of help.

could be your HDMI cable that can only show 60 fps but there is some HDMI cable out there that can do up to 120 fps but not more than that :sunglasses:
if you have to get more than 120 fps then you need to use displayport :sunglasses:
ofc i dont know if this is the issue with your setup but it is the only thing i can think of atm :sunglasses:

As I am saying, all other games are going just fine .
It is only problem with World of Warcraft.
Everything else is working as it should.
I have tried to exchange cables. :frowning:

well HDMI is sometimes limited on the speed they can transfer but if you already tried using other cables you are sure is working then i am very sorry that i couldnt be of assistance but i hope you can get it fixed :sunglasses:

1x 120Hz + 2x 60Hz, so mixed Hz is bad.
This is causing microstutter in DX12 games when you play a stream for example on another display.
G-sync has trouble too.
This is a known problem not WoW specific.
DX11 wiorks but has other disadvantages.

I had to learn this too, my main display is 144 and had a 60hz as 2nd.
Now i got two 144hz, fixed it.

I have just tried to start only with primary monitor, resetted settings. HDR turned off.
Game still went about 60 fps in follower dungeons with around 60 fps.:frowning:

The monitor thing is not a fix for low fps but for the microstutter u get just to be clear :smiley:

But 60 FPS is definately way too low for that CPU, you should get around 100+ in the hub area.

Check if you have some weird powersaving stuff enabled or your CPU is crippled in any way in the bios or whatever tuning you might have done.

Also update your addons and weakauras obviously.

I have similar issues, since today, I did not have any issues reaching 200fps 2K but today I logged in and boom, 60 fps almost everywhere.
I had to reset the graphic settings and use lvl 8 of quality to recover a few extra ones (reaching almost 100fps) but since I am running a Ryzen 9 7900X3D and 4070, I don’t think the issue is on us, and it’s on Blizzard side, It only happens on this game.

You chose the worst of the X3D CPUs for gaming.
Only one CCD (half of the threads) have the extra cache, the other does not.
So if WoW is using the ones without you will lose alot of performance.

Can you disable the other half in the bios (making it effectivly an 8 core) and see if you gained a noticeable amount of FPS?
