WoW Low Fps

Well ive been playing world of warcraft for a while now and installed a radeon 9600xt all in wonder and also another 512 stick and that puts me up to a meg of ram but im still getting very low fps could my 2.4ghz intel celeron processor be causeing this here are my settings for wow it mostly happens when hordes around and when i try and gank i get low fps and completly freeze and die

 

It's a 9600XT, it's two generations out of date. I mean it works fine, but newer games will lag a little when there is a lot of action going on. If you want to get higher fps you'll have to invest in a newer video card. Ram and CPU arn't the bottleneck.

 

well seeing that video card isnt that great whats a good video card for its price that will run wow? and about how much will it cost

 

It all depends how much you wanna spend

 

well i remember first when i installed it i was gettin about 40 fps and now im gettin 5-10 yikes could spyware be affecting it alot?

 

Disable tri-linear filtering; although you have a 2.4ghz, a celeron has a small cache, which really kicks performance in the ballocks. Todays more demanding games like MMORPG dont benefit solely on alot of ram either. The ram need to at least be DDR, have fast timings; and high bandwidth to be effective. Also if you bought diff sets of 512mb sticks there will be hardware issues, for example diff ram speeds or makes cause slow downs. You can also try updating your drivers for your video card, audio card, motherboard drivers, and nforce/VIA drivers.

PS: Yeah; spyware kills performance.

 

What you have to remember is its an online game,the only way to see how your comp is performing is to run a 3d benchmark "offline" and compare it to what its supposed to score "roughly".Online games can be affected by the server,your connection or how many people are online with you at the time,they all suck juice from your cpu and although it looks like a gfx card prob,its actually your cpu not being able to feed it,I tried my 6800gt in my 1900xp system it made no difference in performance,"it actually looked worse than my 5700fx".So my point is check your connection is sound,the server is running good,I dont play with a ping more than 60 (call of duty united offensive 32 players) and there arn't loads of people online with you when the slow down happens.

 

i suggest the nvidia 6600gt. i have WoW on the highest graphic settings possible and it looks fantastic and you can get the card for about $200. i have never had a single problem with it
