Hi!

This is me playing WoW on my kinda new rig.

I capped the game at 100 FPS, but it's only on high graphics, so that's what you're looking at.

Specs:
I7 4790K 4,8 Ghz
2x Zotac 780Ti SLI
MSI Gaming G-45 motherboard
16GB DDR3 1600Mhz RAM

After I put a 2nd screen and a 2nd 780Ti in, I've had some problems with my PC shutting off sometimes, and I just wondered if the usage in WoW had to be so high, to maintain 100 FPS on high graphics in WoW.

It seems kinda weird, but I don't really know.

Thanks

August
 


High GPU usage is completely normal, infact it's good because it's trying to perform as best as it can. Most games ran by most computers their GPU will nearly max out. If you are doing dual-monitor gaming depending on the resolution it will make your GPUs work much harder because you are basicly doubling the pixels. However if you game on 1 monitor and have another as misc, it will barely effect your graphics performance.
 


I'm planning on running 3 monitors, and 1 misc. So it's gonna be even more though than this.
