Hi Guys,
I'm having fps issues in World of Warcraft with my HD 4870. I'm trying to figure out if my cpu is bottlenecking, or if ATI just hasn't fixed their drivers yet. All of my drivers are up to date including my graphics, bios and sound. These problems occur with all graphical setting set to low @1440x900 resolution, and are much worse in Dalaran and 25 man raids with the framerate dropping down to 10-20 sometimes. My psu is CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified. I play other more demanding games such as Crysis, Mass Effect 2, CoD MW2 and others on Max settings with no problems. My hard drive is somewhat old but is still 7200 rpm and seems to be working fine, could this be a cause of low fps?
