Hi fellow WoW'ers!
Alright, the 11th I bought wow when it was out. Came home and installed it, created an account and started my character, everything ran all smooth - no lags and whatsoever.
Yesterday when I was grouping with my irl friends as usual, it suddenly became sooo slow dropped to around 4 - 5 FPS and couldn't do a thing when I was supposed to heal my group.
Now I have:
Ran antivirus program, Ad-aware and Spybot Search & Destroy, cleaned my computer totally.
Uninstalled my currently installed ATi drivers, downloaded new and installed them.
Put everything to low details, removed the vsync and the other function(right over the vsync function in WoW) and took all shading effects off.
Checked my fans in my comp, both CPU and gfx card fan. Nothing wrong here either, temperature is perfect.
Closed all "small" programs to make up free memory and checked diskspace on C:\ which is also just fine(1.6gb free)
Played Counter-Strike and DAoC for an hour or two with perfect framerates.
Some specs:
Resolution in WoW: 1600x1200 @ 85hz (same as in DAoC), this resolution were also on when WoW ran all smooth.
CPU: AMD Palomino 1900+
RAM: 1024 DDR
GFX: ATi Radeon 9600XT 256mb
So my question for you gentlemen is, what can cause such a sudden FPS drop when I have alrdy checked all these things?
Last thing I'm gonna try when I get home from work is to re-install WoW and see if it will help in any way(doubt it will)
Thanks in advance.
