Hello, I’m new in this game . I play it with everything maxed out in full hd, but my fps are quite low .now I play on dragonflight content and my fps are around 60-90, but in the starter zone I could reach even 100+ fps.my specs are
Rtx 3070 8gb
I5 12400f
32 gb ram
2 SSD (each 1 tb)
165 GHz monitor.any tips?
There is your problem.
Some settings like viewing distance and environmental detail above setting 7 are very CPU intense and wow is primarily CPU-limited.
Also ray tracing shadows.
Newer zones like in DF and TWW are also much more demanding than the starter zone which is small and not as detailed.
Can you tell me please, what settings are you using?
I would recommend using setting 7 (this is the old max setting btw.) and adjust from there to your liking.
Some key settings except the ones i mentioned already are;
-renderscale should be left at 100%, else it will kill fps because it has been buggy for half a year now
-multisampling Antialiasing, set it to 4x for optimal image quality, disable fxaa, cmaa stuff that just blurs
-liquid detail can hurt performance in some areas like the emerald dream zone
-compute effects can be lowered to good for a fps boost where volumetrics like fog are used
-use DX12
-enable nvidia reflex for gsync to work optimally
Ty I will try this.
Also can you recommend me some raid settings?
Just to add to what Aimjinx has said, the older parts of the game used less assets than the more modern versions of the game (Lets say from Shadowlands onwards) which is why you’ll get more performance in those older zones. The starter zone is also very light on the assets it uses so I wouldn’t use that as a point of reference for the performance you should achieve in TWW zones.
Using the graphics setting 7 and adjusting for your liking is pretty much the best advice, I just use 7 personally with a less powerful machine and its fine (11400f, 3060ti) but I do play on a 75hz monitor due to not needing a higher refresh rate for my own usage/games. Generally speaking WoW doesn’t look much worse with lower than max settings.
its a little more complicated than that - WoW doesn’t usually address every core in the machine - so a 12th Gen processor with I’m assuming 10 cores actual and several virtual is only really looking at 4 most of the time in game - that’s relevant as i5 tend to have relatively low clock speeds compared to i7
GPU should be balanced to your screen - in reality there is no benefit running the game above 60fps - and you should limit it to that
Look at your storage - SSD is great for office productivity but can often have relatively poor data transfer rates, and you would ideally want the game installed on your primary storage
I’m a rogue in terms of hardware - I use a MAC, and the M1 never drops below 60 fps in any given scenario playing WoW - and that’s 5 year old kit now
Your system probably has a fast processor, slow read/write data, and a problem with the way the memory is installed
This doesn’t deny the fact that older parts of the game are less heavy and the starter zone is also less heavy than the TWW zones.
Stand outside Orgrimmar with frames uncapped and vsync off and then do the same in a TWW zone, you’re going to see the difference in the amount of frames your machine can push.
The amount of cores is dependant on the model as well as the generation, 12400F (Ops CPU) has 6 cores/12 threads.
That and what the GPU is going to be pushing. Newer games are getting more demanding, very few people just play WoW which will run perfectly fine on the OPs machine.
What? SSDs have higher read/write speeds than HDDs.
A game doesn’t have to be installed on the primary storage but having it on an SSD is going to be far better due to those higher read/write speeds.
You seem mixed up on this part.
A lot of hardware can do WoW on 60fps too, you don’t necessarily need a higher screen refresh rate but its nice to have.
I have a 75hz screen and if I limit to 60hz I can see the difference between the two so I keep it at 75hz, I prefer it to be smoother (and yes it does feel smoother).
My CPU and GPU are already mentioned in the post you’re replying to and the OP has a slightly better system than myself.
I have no issues and the OP doesn’t have any issues either, I don’t think they realised that the starter zone is less resource heavy hence why they thought they were getting bad performance in Dragonflight zones.

You don’t seem to understand the way computer hardware works
Let me try and explain it to you in simple terms
A two Stroke engine is far more powerful than a 4 stroke engine withe the same Cubic Capacity in the Cylinder Head - its a brute force piece on engineering
Suck / Bang - that’s it - get as much air into the top of the engine with the fuel and explode it - that’s how the WoW game engine works - it aint complicated - it’ uses minimum resource
4 stroke engines are far more refined - smoother - economical and - at high speed - more reliable - but they simply are not as powerful
Now you misread much of my post - or chose not to understand it
WoW does to use multithreaded processors within its game engine - that’s why folk read 40% CPU use with high lag in game - the system is using the resource the game is addressing and no more
its a good example of where the ARM processor in a Mac wins - its designed that way - small n umber of primary cores with additional virtual cores ‘piggy backing’ on top to increase performance where required - the ‘Mertal’ GPU system in Mac is the same
High value high performance PC systems are not WoW friendly - they are overkill - its like buying a truck to pull a caravan - not necessary
SSD’s are not born equal - some have read /write speeds slower than HDD - so the architecture of the motherboard is pretty key to the performance of the storage - and on PC these days you wouldn’t expect an SSD - you would expect NVMe - faster - more reliable - no lag
The Starter Zone will have identical performance to end game - there is no difference in the coding on the retail deployment - the only variable will be the actual number of players active in the zone - your hardware will have little control over the effect of that - your internet connection will
I think you should actually understand - or try to - the relationship between hardware and software - its pretty easy to get to grips with - once you understand that not all software using the entire engine
You don’t seem to know that much either. You’ve just replied to me a bunch of nonsense.
There’s no point in being condescending when you were very wrong and still are showing yourself to be wrong.
Irrelevant to computer hardware and WoW and what the OP was asking about.
You aren’t teaching anyone anything.
You must be trolling me now because I have your exact words quoted and have rebutted them.
Nowehere did I say WoW isn’t multithreaded, you were the one that mentioned it and it was unnecessary.
I said WoW uses more resources in the later parts of the game compared to old zones and the starter zone which is why the OP thought they had a bad performance in Dragonflight zones.
WoW using a certain amount of cores doesn’t stop later parts of the game (like DF and TWW zones) having less performance because they have more assets/graphical stuff that they have to load compared to exiles reach.
Mac and Arm are irrelevant to what the OP was querying with his post, this isn’t even about Mac and ARM so I don’t know why you bothered mentioning them.
I don’t doubt that Arm based Macs can perform pretty well and are efficient, my partner has an M1 Macbook so I’ve seen what its capable of. It’s still irrelevant to this thread though.
Also Mac isn’t even that popular amongst gamers compared to Windows, which is one of the reasons why game developers often don’t offer Mac support.
NVMe are literally a type of SSD and its sensible to think that most modern PCs have them installed rather than SATA SSDs given how popular NVMe has been in recent years.
The OPs machine has the next generation CPU to mine so its more than likely that they have an NVMe SSD as the majority of machines aren’t being installed with SATA SSDs… My own PC has 2 NVMe SSDs (one pci gen 3 and one pci gen 4).
It really isn’t unless you run at a graphics setting with capped frames/vsync on which allows that.
If you uncap the frame limit and turn vsync off you will see a difference between the starter zone and a modern DF or TWW zone.
The OP has even shown this to be true by querying why they’re getting less performance in DF zones than the starter zone. I’ve also just made a fresh character and ran around the starter zone with everything at max and uncapped frames and I get more FPS in the starter zone than the TWW zones the difference was 150+ for the starter zone compared to 60-80 in the TWW zones at an uncapped max setting option. That is most definitely a difference in performance.
It clearly isn’t for you and you’ve shown it plenty here. Your ego has failed you here.
I have nothing more to say on the matter.
I’m going to reply - against my better judgement - to simply say you have absolutely no idea how the relationship between the capability of a computer and the software it is loaded with works.
You don’t understand it at all
All computers at core are UNIX, that’s a fact, and modern GUI based systems are based upon LINUX, although LINUX in its pure form retains command prompt
Even hardware 15 years old is useful running LINUX, especially as a LAMP server
I’m not confused here, you are, you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about and you feel offended.
I apologise that you are offended by the basic fact that you don’t understand how a computer works - but it is very learnable
The fact of the matter is this - if you have a bread factory that can make 1000 loaves of bread an hour that’s great, unless you only receive enough flour to make 100 loaves of bread an hour
and that’s WoW - it gives you 100 loaves an hour - so 90% of your factory is doing nothing
If you can understand it in those simple terms, which I doubt - you’ll start learning
Spaceshuttle ra on 1 ZX80 Chip - go figure
That’s not a Sinclair ZX81 or Spectrum 48, that’s a ZX80
