Low WoW Framerates?

ditch ATI and get a Nvidia card?

ditch wow and goto aion IMO!

have you disabled all your mods and maybe delete your WTF file? After the 3.2 patch most mods took a while to update. I run a PII X4 810 with a GTX260 core 216 and with all visuals maxed it's smooth as silk even in 25 mans. WoW is way more CPU dependant than GPU so you should be fine. It sounds to me like a WoW issue not hardware.

and this. Possibly even a full reinstall might help? I haven't played in about a year but I remember I had a lot of FPS issues too (Vsync, etc.) and reinstalling helped.

Actually.. WoW officially supports 3 cores if you edit the config file... BUT.. it will make use of a 4th core if you set the affinity properly in config.wtf.

15 is for Quads and 255 is for i7s.

Could you elaborate?

Go into the WTF folder in your world of warcraft folder and edit the config.wtf file with Wordpad.

Add this line to the file and save.

SET processAffinityMask "15"

If there is a line with that command in there already, just change the value to 15.

That will set WoW to be able to use 4 processor cores.

be careful, in many cases there is already a line that says "SET processAffinityMask "3"" change that 3 to 15
