  1. i tryed what you put up and i did not work but i am working on a lap top and i have been doing the same as you if you or any one elas should come up with a way to fix FPS plz let me no asap i would be most happy

  2. This might sound stupid.. but just do it. before you run world of warcraft go ahead and open up windows media player.. Leave it running and your fps should be higher

  3. How about cramming your fingers down your throat and spew half digested vomit on your keyboard you filthy n0oB! You have no Idea what your talking about!

    I agree with Moglar %100. Most WOW Nooblets already have a ton of garbage programs on their computer that runs in the background. Weather widgets and a host of other junk. This eats up system recourses big time. Then the precious Nooblets snivel and whimper about how slow their computer runs. That right by precious sniveling Nooblets, go and buy a bargain basement value cheap crackerbox computer to play WOW…..then have the nerve to cry and whine on the forums about why the game plays so bad. You deserve it! I would rather pour a gallon of jet fuel on my head…light it on fire…and then beat it out with a sledgehammer before I buy a crakerbox computer!! The video cards that you posted are pure low end trash. While we are on the subject of a video card do you know what type of video card you need? For that matter do you know anything about a video card? You probably don’t because you are a Nooblet. The best thing you can do is accept the fact that you are a Nooblet. Now that this is done take your computer, pour boiling salt water in it, beat it with a rusty ax, pour gasoline on it and set it on fire. Now go a professional gamer to help you get the right gear for you. Here is What I suggest for my precious Nooblets.

    Nuff said……………..

    • I like to know what are you computer salesman? Any way please tell me
      where do I get 5000 or so dollars to
      pay for this system? I also like to
      know how many World of Warcraft junkies
      have that kinda money? Because on my
      server most of them ask their mom to
      pay electric bill. So point being
      if you are new you will need a lobotomy
      first before you spend it on the hardware
      to play this game, and if you WOW addict and spend your free time playin I doubt your mom will give
      you the 5 thousand so you can play
      more. Bottom line if there is a way
      to improve framerate without selling
      your organs on black market i like to know.

      • What a douche, flaming like hes some kinda rich badass, when he knows he a little daddys girl. Grow some balls before you post shit like this, wanna be toughguy. You make me lawl. Go spend some of that money on a GF instead of a damn computer.

  5. I agree with Moglar that the comment above him is completely stupid. Don’t anybody try it, because it is just going to use more RAM and CPU and won’t help out at all with framerates. However, I think it’s funny how people like you can instantly go onto a site and start insulting people who try to help others.

    Those specs you posted for a computer are great for somebody who can afford it, but the truth is that WoW doesn’t need all of that to run on high settings. I still have almost the same setup as I did when I wrote this post except with an NVidia 8600gt and some more RAM. I run WoW on max settings, and have no trouble at all. And for you to make assumptions about somebody, and to start insulting them based on those assumptions shows no intelligence on your part. You don’t know me or anybody who has commented on this post.

    This post is only here to shed some light on an issue that happened to me almost a year ago. I don’t claim that this post will work for everyone. It’s just here basically to remind me what to do just incase it happens again. I put the information up here so anybody may read it. Don’t take it as an absolute solution to the FPS problem. Of course, better hardware is the best solution, but not everybody can afford it.

    Basically, what I did in my above post was to clear the cache in the WoW folder. Some addons had some old information, which was slowing down my gameplay. I hadn’t played WoW in a while, so the old information needed to be cleared out. It’s definitely not that simple for everyone, but as my title says, it’s an “attempt to improve frame rates.”

    If you are trying to give advice, and you want people to take you seriously, why not try being nicer? Nobody wants to have somebody insult them, and then turn around and take their advice.

    You know what. Your absolutely right. I will be nicer! Yes I am going to descend into a realm filled with teddy bear picnics and lollipop trees! I am going to have pity on my precious Nooblets. I feel so bad that I am going to snivel all over my keyboard. I just hope my teardrops don’t short it out.

    Now here is my regimen for the sniveling Nooblets. First get all the trash off your computer. Run DXDIAG in your run box and check your page file. If your used page file is bigger than yout available page file you need more RAM. Plus you could be running programs in the back ground. (Set up your start up menu).
    Next clean up your registry. Now here is the best part my groveling Nooblets, your bad frame rate also can be caused by bad latency. Try to run a Tracert on the Blizzard server to see how many hops you have. Bad internet speed can cause it also. (There are ways to determine if its you or your ISP service)

    In other words my whimpering Nooblets…the first things you can do are literally FREE! DO these basic things first my dear Nooblets. Then I will hear your pleas for help.

    Thanks for the help Max Carnage! I had no idea I had all this stuff running in the background. I got rid of most of it. I also customized my start up. Then I cleaned up my registry. There is a remarkable improvement. But it could be better. I do need a little more RAM. I am going to check my internet speed and connection next. Also I took the liberty of checking my video card. I am going to get a better one. Yup, I am one of the “nooblets” that bought a midrange computer. Its an excellent system, but the video card has much to be desired. Thanks for helping a “precious nOOblet.” I will now bow before you.

    You are welcome. You are now on the path to enlightenment. You have taken the first step and accepted the fact that you are a nooblet. Now you can begin your path out of noobulism.

    The second lesson my precious nooblet is not to buy computer parts, software, memory, video cards etc from retailers. The price mark up is insane. Not to mention that you will get drilled with sales tax. Buy from sites such as Tiger Direct.com and Newegg.Com. They have the best prices and customer support. Most of these sites offer great online tutorials for most common computer parts. (Tiger Direct is great for this and will explain things in simple terms for fledgling N00Blets) With this in mind make sure you do some reading and research.

    Know why you want to change something, Know the expected outcome of the change, Know how to proceed and complete the change properly. Now my precious nOOblet go forth and begin your journey out of noobulism! If you need another audience with me I will hear your pleas for help.

    It seems you failed a bit there Maxy boy.

    Actually I did fail. I failed to school my precious NooBlets properly. I will take the opportunity to remedy this now my friend.

    Ok….now it is time for me to school my precious nOoBlets. It has become painfully obvious that my No0Blets are in dire need of information regarding lag in wow. Here is the main problem with wow framerates.

    Blizzards own servers and internet connections. You could have the fastest connection in the world, but if Blizzard is only pumping out 10Kbps to you, thats all you’re gonna get.

    Now here is a dose of reality that you have to accept. The bottom line with wow is based on the fact that your trying to literally render 80+ people in a large open space. When you crank special effects it adds magical glows, animations onto each of those 80+ people which will beat on any card. That is the bottom line my sniveling No0Blets.

    I can get 99 FPS staring at a wall in game, but in situations where there are multiple groups of players the frame rate starts to tank. The lack of a difference in performance between the low video and high video settings makes me think it is sync’ed on the network activity. In other words it might not be you. You don’t need to have my computer that I posted above necessarily. In fact getting a new video card might not even help. The key is having globally a decent system to run the game. Even run of the mill desk top computers can run wow decent if you don’t bog the system down with a lot of junk, and lower some of the wow video options. Now my precious nOOblets….scamper off to play wow with the knowledge I gave you.

  12. I always have less than 20 fps but above 8 fps. I play on the most shittiest quality WoW can run. I average at about 12 FPS.

    I am convinced it is a server side sync issue. After the release of the Lich King last week the majority of the players were in the new area “North Rend” with the new character.

    I took this opportunity to run around Undercity and other locations which had minimal player activity. (everyone was playing in North Rend or in the Outlands trying to level the Death Knight lol)

    Anyway my Frame rate is Undercity and Silver Pine forest was about 55! Then when I went to shat my frame rate tanked to 20. This just confirms what I already stated in my previous post.

    That’s pretty epic. MaxCarnage posting a reply to himself singing his own praises. Epic Fail. Although the advice might be valid, the tone of Max’s posts smack of insecurity and narcissism. Max is so much better and of higher class than his Nooblets. What are you, 12 years old and pretending to be king of the internets?

    Haha, pretty funny how Max tried to act like he knew a thing at all :P

    Everyone knows you can improve wow performance with new hardware. Did you seriously think that telling people to run MSconfig was some sort of revelation?

    Who’s the noob?

    Who’s the noob?

    Who’s the noob Maxie!!!

    Epic Fail!!!!!

    Yes….please continue to spew your bile! There is no Phail here. Soon you will be groveling before the great MaxCarnage for more advice. Everything that I have posted is true. You can either accept it……or you can ignore it. It is your chioce my merry band of nooBlets.

    Now for the second dose of Max. I did NOT tell people to run MSCONFIG. Once again we have an epic example of what happens when mommy and daddy leave their computrs on for junior to play with. I have already helped more than a dozen of people improve their wow performance. Unfortunatly there were some that could not be helped also due to their machine being horrible form the begining. In any event….please feel free to continue to spout. :-)

    PS Max luvs ya anyway :-)

    Z0mGz0r i luv Maxx he'zzz da bomb i laffed so harttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    HE'zzzz z0w kuuwl :D

  19. Mind u ppl that Vista takes a min of 2 gigs to run correctly……

  20. There is something else that no one has said and that would be the server your playing on and where you are at. So if your on the west coast but playing on a mid west or east coast server there is going to be more lag just because it takes more time to get the data

  21. I’m disappointed in you, Max. All those beautiful pieces of hardware and yet no consideration of using a gaming network card to complement them? Don’t worry, though. They aren’t too expensive, especially compared to the prices of several of your other components. I’m positive your mommy and daddy will gladly spring for one of those, too.

  22. Buying more ram and new hardware will help but then most wow/ or any other type of MMORPG gamer rely on their parents to pay for their subscription.

    MaxCarnage you should like a middle aged man who sits behind a computer all day and thinks your more superior to everyone on this forum.
