Low FPS 8600GT
by Zamora | 13/05/2008 05:08:17 My specification is: GeForce 8600GT 256 MB DDR3 GIGABYTE 2 GB RAM GEIL Celeron 2.53 GHz 2 Mb broadband Internet connection In 25-man raids: unplayable due to extremely low FPS. In 5-man instances: 10-20 FPS. In Shattrath: FPS varies between 1 and 8 maybe 11 after 02:00 AM when people go offline. In Orgrimmar: See Shattrath. In world: average of 38-30 FPS. It does not matter if the video settings are set to highest or lowest possible level I always get same FPS. I tried reformatting drive and fresh install. I tried defragmenting. I tried different drivers and the OMEGA drivers seem to improve my FPS by 5-10 roughly but the difference between having 8 and 15 FPS is not really that noticeable. :S My other bets are: Power source: Having 400 watt power source while the graphics card producer recommends 450 watt. CPU: Seem to be the weakest of all components even though it's above WoW recommended CPU. Any help? |
