Running WoW on a decent PC often results in low frame rates.

I recently purchased a custom PC from DinoPC, installed the pre-patch for Legion on World of Warcraft and quickly realized my graphics performance was poor in the garrison. I adjusted the settings to level 7 preset, which blends high and ultra options. While MMOs can strain CPUs, I expected better than this. I've updated the drivers via Nvidia Experience and fine-tuned the WoW configuration. Despite these changes, frames still stay around 30. Could anyone assist in diagnosing the issue? My hardware includes: AMD FX 8320 Black Edition, NVidia GeForce GTX 960, 4GB DDR3 RAM, 16GB, Corsair 650VS (650W), and a 1TB Seagate HDD.

Run an application similar to MSSI Afterburner to monitor GPU activity during games, and launch Task Manager to check disk, RAM, and CPU utilization.

Pre-built EW, verify if your GPU runs at the clocked speed.

Lower the adjustments. The graphics have improved noticeably, I use a custom profile around 7, but my system has 5930k RAM and a 980TI. I usually get about 85-99 FPS, though some raids drop to 15-30 when visual effects are active.

Reduce AA, MSAA and shadows settings.
