    How much FPS should I be getting?

    This is my current setup, all bios and drivers are up to date.

    CPU -AMD fx-6300
    Motherboard gigabyte 970A-D3P
    RAM G-Skill Ripjaw DD3-2133
    Graphics Sapphire Radeon Hd6870 1 gig
    Power Supply Antec earthwatts 500
    SSD kingston 128gig
    Operating System Windows 8.1
    Resolution 1920X1080
    WoW Settings FAIR
    COre Temp 44C-48C under load.

    Just wondering what my FPS should be like, flying around on Fair settings its 70-90 depends how much stuff is around.
    In raids (25 man heroic) il drop to 18 sometimes lower. That much of a jump down normal from 70+fps to below 20?
    I tried low settings the FPS difference low and fair was not noticeable. I tried full screen as i run windowed mode but i saw no fps difference.
    I dont know how relative system requirements lab is but it was full green.

    Is my current setup just not good enough?

    That's pretty normal, your CPU is weak and your GPU could use an upgrade too, but that's secondary as it's still fine for raiding with a couple toned down settings.

    WoW has always preferred Intel CPUs with NVIDIA graphics.

    Have you considered overclocking your CPU and GPU? That would hopefully squeeze some extra FPS out.


    my FPS is capped to 120fps maximum (have a 120hz/3D monitor) and the only places my FPS drop below 60-70 is in combat in a 25m raid. But I also play on Ultra with 8x AA
