    64 bit compatibility

    Hey guys, ive recently upgraded my PC, went from geforce 9800 to gtx 560, and also upgraded from win xp 32 bit to win7 64 bit. Suddenly WoW runs a lot worse , no idea why... all the drivers are updated. Even when i run the game on the lowest settings it still doesnt run smoothly. PC specs are Q660 quad core processor, 4gb ram and GTX 560. Any idea what causes this? i doubt its just because of the 64bit incompatibility.

    your help would be much appreciated..
    thanks.

    Is this a fresh installation of WoW or is it a copy from the previous installation of Windows? If it is a copy make sure you delete your WTF / Cache / Data / Interface folders.

    Have you installed the GPU drivers?

    gpu drivers are updated. Yes it is an installed version from back when i had XP on, i cleared those folders - the loading is faster but still im on around 20-30 fps. do you suppose i need to uninstall and reinstall entirely?
