I gonna start with... I just reinstalled my Windows, its a Windows 10 legit, activated. So my OS has nothing besides WoW, Dota 2 and Photoshop installed at the moment.
I know my PC is not a brand new one, but it should run WoW way better than its doing now, so my config:
Asrock extreme 4 z77 - bios 2.90
i5 2500k @ 4.5ghz (I can go till 4.7 stable, just dont like because of the temps).
32gb of RAM Sniper - F3-1866C10-8GSR
SSD Samsung Evo - Main hard drive
SSD Kingstom - Secondary drive
GPU GTX 970 Mini ITX and GTX 1070 Mini ITX (no using both at same time, of course :P)
2 monitors, main monitor is a LG 2560x1080 and another LG 1920x1080
So, I have been using my GTX 970 for about 1 year, and I am not happy with it because I cant keep a fixed 60fps all the time... Set my system configs lower and still not getting those 60 but ok...
This week I got great deal on the GTX itx 1070 and as far as I read, everyone said that 2500K @ 4.5ghz should not bottleneck this GPU and run everything smooth... Man... tried the GTX and I dont know if just in my head, but it seems worse than my 970.
Alright... went to wow, queued for all LFR instances and monitored my temps, cpu and gpu usage on the other monitor, for my surprise, EVEN when I at 45 FPS in game, my CPU is running wow @ 45-50% (with all windows background stuff it goes up to max 60-65% cpu usage) and GPU topping 60% usage.
So how in the hell my game is running at 45 fps and my cpu/gpu are not even in 70% of their maximum.
Do you guys can give me any advice?!
I can provide pictures, videos, info, whatever you guys need me to... pls help, I tried EVERYTHING I knew and its not working.
Extra info, things I tried:
- Tried run WoW on both of my SSDs.
- Pagefile.sys is running now on my secondary drive.
- Disable many background windows services like xbox, skype and things I dont use.
- Tried WoW at low settings and max settings, both dont bring up my cpu/gpu usage.
- I like to run with Vsyinc on cause without it I get some break/glitch lines when I am moving around.
