1080ti not as powerful as i had hoped

[skannerz22]

WoW is single thread optimized game with an engine based on 10+ old technology, and is very dependent on the processor itself. As others have said, top of the line cards do not have as much impact as you would expect. This is why people can run wow still on lower level processors.

i forgot/didn't know about it being cpu heavy
i knew it was bad with multicores

i'm planning to get threadripper
i currently got i7 4930k doing 4.25ghz cinebench scores in a computer group on facebook shows my cpu was doing better than stock 7700k's

some people attacked me for my score and called me names and stuff they were just salty

i know wow is bad at multicores that's probably the reason

Hyper-threading or threads in general don't affect gaming performance strictly speaking, hence getting Threadripper won't really help you much on that front.

I hope you didn't buy a 1080Ti and just play WoW. If so... LOL.

there may still be console commands to adjust them though

Its just that TR is freakin terrible price/performance for gaming. So unless it's for proffessional use I really fail to see the point.

it's how many years you get out of threadripper before it becomes obsolete is what matters

i9 being older than threadripper it's better to get threadripper when it has identical performance
i9 is slightly better for games depending on the game and it's fully optimised
tr is better for non-gaming like launching chrome the tiny percentage below i9 for games is merely due to it's new and not optimised

my plan is that tr can be optimised better in the future to remove i9 being a tiny bit better

I had gtx980 at like 20% load on raid settings, 1080ti is asleep with nothing to do while waiting on the fastest CPU's out there

While not untrue, people have been saying that for years, and it never happened.

It might happen still, but again.. If it does, it'll happen years from now where another upgrade will be warranted anyway.

Buying based off console architecture is always a bad idea.

my 770 gtx was doing close to or sometimes better than the 970 in wow
some people complained of only 40-60 fps on wow in dalaran while others said about 120 so..
770 gtx was doing 60-90
1080ti is doing like 90 average in dalaran
so they're right about the cpu thing
my cpu must of been better than theirs when they had the 970

Threadripper won't help. AMD CPUs are pretty bad in WoW - and WoW supports only 4c.

If you want to maximize WoW performance, go for 4c/8t maxed single core power. Which is delivered by Intel.

It's very easy to make WoW run at 100+fps with some graphics settings down (shadows) even with very weak GPU's but the CPU will stop it from happening in high stress areas

And yeah, all talking about threadripper/i9.. if you're upgrading with WoW as a focus then it's kaby lake or wait for coffee lake (next month?) all the way.

i wouldn't bother my cpu is 4 years old
it was second best (3% under 4940k) back then but not anymore
you can't even find 4940k anymore i probably should of bought it when it was available but it had costed like $200 more than the 4930k

not worth it for wow alone....

coffee is garbage

i'm getting TR and wait for optimisation

Don't buy i9's either. They're a poorly thought out response to Threadripper. Stick with i5-i7 or Ryzen5-7 if you want good ST performance

EVERYTHING MAXED ON ULTRA all settings max
it peaked to 94 fps with average of 70-80 ish with a low of 64

everything low and VSYC IS NOT ON
it seems to of hit an FPS cap of 100 wow fuck you blizzard it refuses to go lower or higher than 100

in stormwind harbour flying around

this is not what it used to be

i remember low settings getting as high as 280 in arena and 420 in a spot in dalaran tower with 770 gtx

blizzard has officially throttled the game

everything ultra shadows turned off view distance 7

mage tower is showing 94-100 never going above 100

blizzard has clearly throttled the game

Nah, it's just heavier on CPU now than it was before for whatever reason.

[Animalhouse]

Personally I have 4690k i5 OC'ed to 4.4gz air-cooled with an evo 212.
16 gb RAM at 1866mhz using 2x8gb, (using 2 DIMM is better than 4) with cas10 latency.
MSI GTX 970 4gb (3.5 >.<) with no OC atm.

I play on ultra and only drop to low 40's in 25 man raids and certain areas (I attribute this to a variety of factors as it is not always obvious why FPS drops).

I think the best thing you can do at this time is OC and evaluate your RAM choice and configuration.

Why would a faster 7700k with two extra cores be garbage?

You'll be waiting a very long time for the WoW engine to meaningfully scale to 14+ threads.

you're not understand what i said
it did not go over 100
meaning there was not even a 101 at low/off
it's been capped at 100 internally

i'm just saying what my cinebench score was showing compared to 7700 and 7700k users had with cinebench in a facebook group

theirs were around 900
mine was 1207

if mine wasn't overclocked it would be like 700-800 stock on cinebench

[chazus]

Im just saying, it doesn't really matter what games you play, wow or not.. Threadripper is going to be a waste of money over what you have now,. Just about anything will be, for several years yet
