Starting off, here are my specs:
Mobo: MSI P67A-G45 (MS-7673)
Graphics: MSI GTX 560 Ti TwinFrozr II - Stock cooled (for the TF version) @ 907 MHz from 822MHz
Processor: Intel i7-2600k Sandy Bridge @ 4.2 GHz - Stock-cooled.
Case: Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced
RAM: Kingston 8096MB RAM. 2x4GB
PSU: "Certified" by smart corporation. 750W
Primary HDD: SAMSUNG HD103SJ ATA
SSD: SanDisk SDSSDH120GG25 ATA - 120 GB
Windows 7 Home-Premium 64-bit.
So, essentially, I do believe there is some issue with some of my components. I am not seeing very good frame rates in WoW compared to (what I am told) that those components may achieve.
With everything on Ultra, including Shadows, and Multisampling on 8x, I get approximately 40 FPS at the target dummies in Orgrimmar (I play on Kazzak EU, a relatively high-pop server). Turning off Shadows, down to Low, I get to 66, which is quite alright, except it does not stay there. It occasionally dips to 50 whenever I move, and sometimes even lower.
Temps do not appear to be the issue, despite the quite heavy overclock on the CPU, I only hit about 58 degrees celcius whilst playing WoW, the GPU is a tad higher, at about 64 degrees.
I believe my specs should be able to achieve more, but I could be wrong.
Any help on this?
Chipset drivers, graphics card drivers etc. are up to date
