Howdy
my name is Chase and my main game I center around is World of Warcraft and I recently upgraded from my *craptop* computer to a desktop gaming rig.... only thing being is that the game's fps has actually worsened for me. I went from:
8 GB RAM
AMD A8-4500M Quad Core Processor
AMD Radeon 7640G Graphics Card
To:
8 GB Kingston RAM
Gigabyte motherboard
GTX 560 Ti 1GB Dedicated Video Card
AMD Phenom X II Quad Core ~ Liquid Cooled
just to see a decrease in framerate... overall. The laptop was able to handle almost 30+ fps at all times, including hardcore 40 man Alterac Valleys and 25 man raiding environments. The new rig (with the GTX 560 Ti) can barely weasel out 20 fps on a good day raiding wise. New computer has a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate and fresh drivers for the card/processor as well. Old laptop has Windows 8 with fully updated drivers as well. I was wondering... what's going on?
Edit:! Sorry, I forgot to include the PSU... laptop has a standard 300W PSU while the desktop pumps out a 650W Corsair PSU.
