If you get 30+ FPS in 25-man raid encounters, what is your build?

[Deleted]

2560x1440, 40-55 fps in Org (crowded), 60 fps in 5-man. Don't have the energy to try it in a 25-man or 10-man raid at this point as I don't play the game anymore.

i5 2500k 4.7GHz, GTX 560 Ti 970MHz (1GB vRAM), 8GB 1600MHz RAM (2x4)

Not necessary lying but basically not knowing what they are talking about, remembering numbers from back when they were playing, thinking about 5/10 mans, playing on a low resolution or just otherwise stretching the truth .

A good few also count their "raid fps" as the number they see when everyone's hitting the feast before the boss pull, rather than mid-combat.

AMD 925 @ 2.8ghz
AMD 6670
all Ultra except shadows.
gave me 25-40 fps in 25mans, and never dropped below 17 fps; had average of 34fps during LK encounter ; never raided in this patch though!

I can now say that my 560 Ti and i5 2500k produces a smooth (60 fps) raiding experience at 1440p in 10-man raids. Shadows on high, rest ultra.

Edit:
Slight correction. It did drop as low as 51 fps (that I could see) in 10-man DS. This was during Yor'sahj AoE.

in LFR on Ultraxion (currently the worst fight for me, fps wise) I can get 40 (lowest, maybe sometimes reaching 35fps during late fight with all the spell stuffs going on) to 50 fps during the rest of the fight.

My setup is the one in my sig, although my overclock is 4.8 Ghz atm. I use Evga 560 TI gfx card.

Screen is 1920x1080 with everything set to max, including Anisotropic filtering (whatever it does) and multisampling.

I'm confused, you didn't play the game anymore? Why didn't you just go and test in LFR then

Well, as a former GM I help my guild out from time to time when they lack a DPS (I still got my account and a bunch of friends in the guild so it's still fun in that regard). I just tagged along for an hour today because they were only 9. I could jump in LFR but... I'm too lazy ^^

Look at Nab's rig in his signature and tell me that the next logical upgrade is not an SSD.

The next upgrade would be a better CPU cooler.

[Beasty]

If he is running at 4.5ghz stable already, I don't see what benefit a better cooler is going to do performance wise. An SSD isn't going to improve FPS but is a far more fun upgrade and more obviously beneficial.



On full whack:

i5 2500k @ 4.6ghz with a corsair a50 cooler (batshit noisy it has to be said)
8gb ram
6970 at stock
in a 600t case
2560x1440 apple cinema display
shrug!

Ultraxion LFR, 25 man, i reach the lowest fps on my machine. Stuck at 35/40 fps with all the spells going on, still very decently playable.

Intel Q9450 Quad 2,26 ghz
Nvidia Geforce 9600 GT (1,5GB) Limited Edition
4 GB Ram
500 GB HD.
64 bit client

Other raid encounters im running 50/60 fps constantly.

EVGA Classified 3 - 309
i7-950 3.02(over clocked to 3.4) - 294.99
GTX 580 superclocked - 484
750 Watt power supply - 100
G.SKILL 2x4GB DDR3 - 179.99
Kingston 128GB SSD - 284

Total about 2k to build. Although I didn't spend it all at once, I bought the HD/MOBO/CPU and SSD a yaer ago and just upgraded the graphics card a week ago.

AMD Phenom II X6 1045T
8 GB of cheap ram
GeForce 560 (sparkle, the cheap one)

Built this the other day from a kit on tiger direct. Had them leave out the hard drive and optical drive because I've got bunches of them laying around. Paid less than $550.

Easily over 60 fps in 25 mans, but I've got shadows and water turned down.

Sorry to bump this but I finally got into 25-man raiding today (newer player to an extent) Sooo...

Intel Xeon E5645 x2 @3.6 (stock 2.4)
EVGA SR-2
36 GB Mushkin DDR3 9-9-9-24 1T
EVGA GTX Titan (stock)
Gaming on SSD, recording to HDD and SSD
Frapsing at 60FPS.

Was Frapsing to both an SSD and a WD Black once the first drive ran out of room. Playing at a more traditional 1600x1200 with all settings Ultra (sorry, I hate the widescreen look).

Holding 40-50 in almost all fights. Maybe into the 30s during seas of landmines or cleaves that fill the room with smoke / debris.
Also holding almost 60 on Elegon except the beginning (40s) while Frapsing so without recording it'd probably be a sure thing, there.
World Bosses like Oondasta and Nalek (if he's busy), push me to the 30s, 20s and on ocassion, the teens. No lower.

But other posters are correct. No matter your GPU, WoW and any MMO is very CPU-driven. Clockspeed for the most part is priority #1, followed closely by CPU architecture and GPU power, then amount of RAM / HDD or SSD, etc.

I know for a fact that the only way I could speed my FPS up is to overclock more but I am at the limits of my board (built this as a workstation primarily and not solely a gaming rig). If I had a modern I7 at anything 4Ghz+, I'd imagine it'd perform very very well.

User was infracted for thread necro.

[Deleted]

You should have created a new thread instead of necroing a 1.5 years old thread.

[kidsafe]

Yeah, I get around 50-60fps with a single 2600K@4.6GHz + single HD 7970@1.1GHz in 25-man ToT during encounters unless the fight is heavy on particle effects.

[noteworthynerd]

Yeah. This thread is a year and a half old. Closing.
