I cant even play 25m with 15 fps in combat.
Ah, I run 25m too on an iMac that's a good few years old. That's good to know about Recount/Skada, sounds like I'll have to disable that in the future. Are there any other relatively common addons that tax the system that much? I run stuff like DBM, Tidyplates, Bartender, SUF, TMW, as well as some more lock-specific ones like Fortexorcist and Affdots.
Also, is it possible to get a (very approximate) cost on building a desktop capable of running 25m raids at the most basic level (low-to-fair graphics, projected textures enabled, Skada/Recount enabled)? I understand if that's too vague. Would that computer be capable of running games like SC2 and Dead Space 3 well too? Haha, I'm just trying to figure out what kind of budget I'd need for a desktop capable of playing the games that catch my eye.
I'm having a similar issue OP: While I don't mind being at 20 FPS I've noticed that on fights that I was already at low FPS (damn you Elegon) I'm now at 2-3 FPS. My settings have been at low since Cata (except particle density but only high enough to see stuff) but even with turning off addons nothing is helping. I know I need a new computer badly but haven't really planned on what to get beyond the "I need a new computer" part.
Edit: My FPS die when I'm inside the area with Elegon; outside I'm fine.
I have almost the best PC you can buy at the moment and I'ved also OCed it.Throne of thunder makes it drop to 35 fps in 25 man lfr for some reason on ultra settings rest of the raids are constatnly at 60 - somethings wrong with the wow optimisations.
