World of Warcraft running slow

Coughdrops · 05-19-2009, 12:26 PM

Hello. I would consider my computer to be of fairly low end, but does all that i need it to do. It is a few year old emachine with a few upgraded pieces within it. I have a nVidia 7600GS, 1gig of ram, 2.2GHz AMD Athalon processor, windows XP pro, and an upgraded micro socket 939 motherboard. World of Warcraft's required settings are much lower than i have and i should be able to run it perfectly. Lately in-game i have been getting very spikey FPS ranging from 5 to 80. I have seen much worse computers and even laptops getting upwards of 120 FPS and am wondering why my computer isn't capable of doing so.

Thanks

Has it ran WoW better in the past or is this game new to the system?

Just picked it up again recently, but i believe it ran better before.
