Ardain · 09-18-2009, 09:27 PM

Ok so I've recently got a computer and i'll admit it isn't fantastic but ive been playing WoW lately and my FPS is a joke its way to low and i know it should be much higher i live in england but play on US servers

It can go as low as 4 in alterac Valley and the best i get is 17-18 in orgrimmar if i go fullscreen i typically play windowed mode so im around 13-15 usually
