First of all, wow have been running really bad since DF, compared to before.
But after i updated my Nvidia driver to 528.02, my FPS has tanked.
Before i had 90-100 fps, now 40-50 :s
My setup:
CPU Ryzen 9, 5950X 16 cores
96GB ram
Geforce RTX 3080 TI.
I have tried to disbale multisample alpha-test and set “Max foreground FPS toggle to 0”
There’s something wrong with that drive, my friends reported similar with other games.
Updated also my 3080ti to 528.02 and had every 5-10minutes a hard crash while playing WoW (pc shutdown). Haven’t tried with other Games.
I thought it has something to do with some of the advanced graphics settings in WoW, so i set graphics to 5, since then i had no more crashes.
But it did/does not cause low fps on my end, just constant crashes.
cpu Intel i9 12900ks, ram 32gb ddr5
If read Nvidia still struggling after 4 years with flickering issues which is quite sad.
I guess there something wrong with wow spaghetti code causing this, world of warcraft does’t exactly run stable on AMD gpu’s either.
If seen 20+ reports of world of warcraft causing gpu driver freezes to a point requires hard reset most of them being AMD but also Nvidia gpu’s in rare case, if yet to get response from Blizzard on the whole matter, and then there all the stuttering issues as well which everyone seems be having.
There issues on Windows currently with AMD gpu’s especially MPO being unstable used be mess for Nvidia as well altho i heard some Nvidia users have MPO issues again especially with HDR being used for example, so drivers being unstable might be Microsoft fault.
Heck personal experience has been that Linux is more stable right now for me for playing games then Windows.
WoW and DX12 are bit of a mess with flickering issues.
During chromie campaign quest last bit with the BFA area there is a cutscene with an eye that has a ton of flickering shadows for example on even AMD gpu’s but that issue is also not there on dx11, but for the rest never seen flickering on my AMD gpu only very minor nothing extreme like video i showed before.
First, try disabling Hardware Accelerator from your web browser settings, if that doesn’t work go back to your previous driver.
Sorry for using the classic toon. For some reason blizzard now think I dont have any other characters… :s
For the flickering try using DX11 as people have mentioned.
As for the other bit, roll back your driver. I am not gonna lie, I dont install drivers the second they become available, because of potential issues. Right now I am still running on 516.94, nice and stable.
Is doing this for me also forums are bit odd today.
I haven’t changed my setup since Legion, with no issues. As soon as DF hit my performance took a nosedive.
After the driver update I’ve got static 9fps ingame with RTX 4090.
Same thing happened with last driver update
Both times i fix it by reinstalling the whole game.
Sucks tho.
My pc crashed and even got “windows has encountered a problem” repair screen after I updated my graphics card. I only have a GTX 1060 6GB though. (only when playing wow)
I am going to try that version
Update well so far so good
A lot of users report issues with the new driver. Just rollback for now…
NVIDIA also released a 525 update for Linux a few days ago and now the whole game is stuttering like mad on Linux using DXVK, so whatever this issue is it’s somewhere rather deep in the driver (they share a lot of code across platforms - both Vulkan and DX12 is transformed to some intermediary thing that’s broken apparently).
WoW was already stuttering quite a bit more since DF release, but now it’s making it quite a bit harder to play.
RTX 3080 user here.
I had the sameissue so I rolled back my Drivers, Nvidia are really dropping the ball at the moment with their drivers updates.

Hopefully this helps but you can get older drivers from here, just remember to check the uninstall current Drivers while doing a rollback or the new install won’t work.
I have just updated this latest driver update this morning for my 3070 card, so far so good no issue at all
hi, you can check your process list, some times you have 2x wow.exe, one copy not closed and stuck in memory.
Can confirm I keep having this happen to me.
The web browser settings have nothing to do with the game options. In order to change “Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling”, press Windows+i to open the “Settings” app. From the “System” section, select the “Display” tab, under the “Multiple Displays” section, select “Graphics settings”. Turn off “Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling”. Open the game and check if the problem fixes.
