The computer is experiencing performance issues while playing World of Warcraft.
While playing World of Warcraft, I experienced significant lag and delays that shouldn’t occur. I upgraded my PC a few years ago after the previous one failed, which lasted around 11 years and should have been replaced sooner.
Currently, I’m seeing around 10 to 30 frames per second anywhere I play, and last night in a raid I reached 10 FPS, which caused my screen to freeze during boss fights. It’s unclear if the problem lies with my hardware or if further upgrades are needed. The issue appears to be game-specific, as I can stream videos on one screen while still playing, even when the game runs slowly.
My PC has been with me since the release of the 3080 graphics card, and it’s expected to be around four years old now.
CPU:
Intel Core I9 10900K at 3.70 GHz
Motherboard: ROG Maximus XII Hero
RAM: DDR4 32GB (2 sticks 16x2), expandable to 2 more slots
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080
Hard Drive: SSD Evo 500g (primarily used for WoW, with minor files on other drives)
Storage: Two monitors, one 8-inch and another 7 years old
I also own a Dell P2714H IPS 27-inch LED-lit monitor and a Dell Professional P2717H 27-inch screen LED-lit monitor, black.
I’ve had my PC for about a year since the 3080 was released; it should be around four years later this year.
PSU: CORSAIR RM1000X
- Chassis: Thermaltake View 71 4-Sided Tempered Glass Vertical GPU Modular SPCC E-ATX Gaming Full Tower Computer Case with 2 Blue LED Ring Fans Pre-installed
CPU Cooler: Be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 250W TDP
Motherboard: ROG Maximus XII Hero
RAM: DDR4 32GB (2 sticks 16x2), expandable to 2 more slots
Storage: SSD Evo 500g (mainly for WoW, with other programs on additional drives)
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080
Power Supply: 750W (seasonic focus plus)
The original power supply needed replacement due to insufficient capacity. The first PSU I owned was a Seasonic Focus Plus 750 Gold SSR-750FX 750W, but it couldn’t keep up with my system.

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.
Did you remove all GPU drivers(Intel, AMD and Nvidia) in Safe Mode using DDU, then manually installing the latest GPU driver sourced from Nvidia's support site in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator?
I updated my post and thank you for the information.
The original power supply unit for my PC needed replacement because it required more power. The PSU I initially purchased was a Seasonic Focus Plus 750 Gold SSR-750FX 750W 80+ Gold ATX12V, but it couldn’t meet the demands of my system.
I haven’t attempted to uninstall all GPU drivers in safe mode.

How much space is occupied by that SSD? Begin by executing DDU to remove Nvidia drivers, then install the Nvidia driver 566.36. Ensure all add-ons are current. If this doesn't help, consider relocating your WTF and Cache folders to another directory, backing them up, and let the game initialize to generate new ones.
Was die Leistung früher besser und nur kürzlich langsam geworden?
Verbessert sich das, wenn die grafischen Einstellungen reduziert werden?
Hast du alle Add-ons deaktiviert, um zu prüfen, ob sich etwas ändert?
Dein Computer ist wirklich gut, ich bin überrascht von deinen Ergebnissen und denke, etwas ist nicht stimm.
the cpu is throttling
89c is very hot, it might be running at high clocks and reaching 100c in short bursts, which could lead to freezing.
in very extreme cases, adjusting the core voltage to a negative value like -0.050 can force the cores to lower their frequency, allowing the CPU to draw power more efficiently. this might result in higher clock speeds on the cooler chip.

undervolting won’t harm the CPU—it’s essentially reducing power draw.
you can push further negative values, but I usually stop around -0.1 and let the motherboard handle frequency changes.
i’ve tried this on a Ryzen 5900x and kept performance stable while maintaining a steady 70c.
it’s different from other platforms, but this is what undervolting can achieve.
i used to reach close to 87c before adjusting.
chose to implement several changes. I increased the RAM capacity to 64 and replaced the existing 500g M.2 drive with a new one. The CPU cooler was upgraded to a full immersion model, which reduced the temperature by 5-10 degrees Celsius. Despite these improvements, performance remains consistent during raids.

Even reducing the graphics options makes little difference. It seems the game has drifted a bit since the last update, maybe three years ago. I also encounter LUA errors that require fixing in the game.
The SSD was nearly full, with only 50 to 100 gigabytes remaining. I had a 500g drive and intended to keep it empty, thinking Warcraft wouldn’t consume much space. However, I didn’t realize how much it would take up. I purchased a new one last week.
These issues usually stem from outdated addons. I rely on the curseforge app to maintain my updates. Bug sack and bug grabber will assist in pinpointing problematic addons, allowing you to turn them off.
