Low framerate issue

[bpl0807]

So I have this low framerate issue when playing WoW and only WoW, and for my system specs I don't think I should be having a problem fps wise. I also every so often will get a BSoD from the file "hal.dll" or "ntoskrnl.exe + nvlddmkm.sys (Both in same BSoD)" and I really am not sure what is causing this. But my fps are about 20-30 constantly while running everything maxed out, and I know I have the resources to run WoW maxed out, because my buddy runs it maxed out on 4 year old hardware. I can also play other games like Crysis and Elite Sniper 2 at a very smooth and flawless fps, but still with the BSoD issue. Heat is not an issue right now, as I have my case open and all of my temperatures are staying very stable. So if anyone could give me any insight as to what might be causing my framerate to be in the choppy range, I'd very much so appreciate it.


System Specs:

Motherboard: MSI 880GM-E43
Processor: AMD Athlon II X4 640 3.00GHz
Graphics Card: EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 SE 1GB
RAM: Wintec AMPX DDR3 4GB (2 Sticks of 2GB) 1333MHz
Power Supply: Rosewill 500W

#1 you will not run wow @ max above 1280x720 and its doubtful that you could run shadows at all. Your gpu is ok cpu is not, seems like a bit of a behind the times PC and other than the Bsods everything seems normal.

CPU is fine. Just because it's not an i12 doesn't mean that it isn't.

You are right you dont need an I9000x

Notice wow is maxed @ 62 fps w/ a frap runthrough open world likely something like durotaur or in newer benchs the krazzworks. Nothing is going on at all, 20-30fps is absolutely normal for his specs, I am sorry you are uninformed on the situation but please before you pretend to be informed just get informed.


One more time lets get this out there resolution has a huge factor in FPS, if your friend has a 10 yr old pc running 1024x768 or some horrendously low resolution and your running something above 1280x720p on the same PC you will not get equal or comparable FPS im sorry you just wont.

Furthermore I said nothing about needing an intel, His FPS is quite on point for what he does have, so please along w/ getting informed do not put words in my mouth I am known here as an AMD supporter regardless of what my pc runs. I know the difference between Needed good enough overkill and not enough.
