General

World of Warcraft is one of the premier subscription MMORPGs, and has helped spread the entire genre into mass markets across the globe. Players enter the world of Azeroth, a fantasy realm of swords and sorcery, exotic races, mystical creatures, world turmoil, high adventure, and war. Created by Blizzard Entertainment, and based on the Warcraft series of RTS games first released in the mid 1990s, WoW expanded on the early Warcraft single player franchise and is now a vibrant multiplayer world, where players may engage in roleplaying, PvE, PvP, dungeon instances, battlegrounds, arenas, and raids.

Alternatively, if you have an NVIDIA card you can turn this option off all together (1x) and enable FXAA from the NVIDIA control panel for a less performance-hungry version of antialiasing. SSAO - Screen Space Ambient Occlusion, adds a \"soft shadowing\" pixel shader to approximate depth using the z buffer. In basic english SSAO is what's responsible for the \"black blur\" around characters, buildings and objects ingame. Not always completely successful in WoW but still looks pretty good and may have an impact on lower-end hardware, play around with the setting and see if it improves frame rates. It doesn't really impact performance on my PC VSYNC - I like vsync but the fluctuation in FPS when it's enabled can be a bit of a pain. If you have an nvidia card then enable \"adaptive vsync\" from your nvidia control panel for the best image/performance ratio. If you don't like VSYNC fps fluctuation but you also don't like screen tearing then try using the ingame maxfps sliders to cap your frame rate at 60 (or whatever the refresh rate of your monitor is) I suggest using Triple Buffering along with VSYNC, this stops the switch between 60fps to 30fps if your frame rate dips below 60. For adaptive vsync on AMD cards (and a host of other tweaks) I suggest you download and play around with RadeonPro Beta: http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=322031 SHADOWS - Continues to be the biggest FPS killer in wow, especially in busy areas/wide areas. Turn it down, the change from ultra to high is virtually unnoticeable and will improve frame rates by a fair margin. LIQUID DETAIL - effectively renders everything twice when you're near water... no reason for it to be on ultra unless you're taking screenshots. Turn it to \"high\" for the best image/performance ratio VIEW DISTANCE - Blizzard seem to increase the view distance with each expansion, what used to be \"ultra\" is likely \"high\" now (I could be wrong). As nice as the views are (and will be in MoP) there's really no reason to take the performance hit - play around and see what suits you but I'd would recommend \"high\" or lower... hovering max hight above Stormwind on \"ultra\" settings I see a difference between 55fps and 80fps when going to view distance \"high\" REDUCE INPUT LAG - An interesting setting because it doesn't actually describe how it works. Some people have said it's a setting for those on low-powered PCs whose hardware can't keep up with mouse input. I've found it to be the opposite. When your Graphics card renders a lot of frames it takes longer for mouse input to sync with onscreen frame rate and can cause a slight lag in mouse onscreen display, especially with Triple Buffering active. On ATI cards in particular the game can also experience strange stutters/judders unless this settings is enabled, regardless of whether VSYNC is turned on. If you find your mouse input lags significantly or you experience stuttery gameplay (especially in dx11 mode) then enable this setting and see if it helps you. It comes at a price, seeming to up the CPU load and may reduce frame rates slightly in CPU heavy areas. My theory is that this setting is effectively reducing the \"render ahead\" limit which stops the normal GPU process of rendering frames ahead of time and chosing one to display. OTHER SETTINGS - Things like spell detail and ground clutter can have an impact in busy environments but I would personally rather reduce the draw distance and have the game looking prettier than have an epic draw distance and sparse landscape. Whatever looks good for you!","position":1,"title":"Change InGame settings"},{"uid":"d33c5c20-385f-11e8-aff9-901b0edac90d","content":"WoW will check on startup to see how many cores your CPU has, 2, 4 or 8 (virtual) cores in the case of a Hyperthreaded i7. WoW will then dynamically pick 3 of these cores to use. WoW will generally use Core 0 (the first core, confusing!) along with 2 other cores to process sound, addons etc. You can specify which CPU cores WoW should use by adding the below settings to the config.wtf file within the WTF folder. This can be helpful in the case of hyperthreaded CPUs because if WoW decides to use core 0 and 1 then parts of these overlap due to hyperthreading, additionally WoW usually tries to use core 0 which Windows will also be using for system processes. Since 4.2 WoW \"should\" use all cores dynamically but altering this setting yourself can improve FPS/loading times - if you see no difference simply take the line out of the config.wtf file and you're back to default. play around with these settings by adding SET processAffinityMask \"XX\" within your config.wtf.
