What's killing your WoW FPS?

I show you biggest cause of fps drops (on good PCs) in raids and M+ and in general for users using weak aura packs.
I will do a follow up video in future on optimizing fps on mid to lower end PCs.

This video I wanted to get out asap cause it kills fps on ALL pcs from low all the way to the highest spec pcs. Guilds in RWF were even dropping to 10-20fps on Pcs with 4090s and latest cpu and this was found to be cause.

Test WA:

Script that can auto scan auras for any models in use:
/run for _,d in pairs(WeakAurasSaved.displays) do if d.subRegions then for _,sr in ipairs(d.subRegions) do if sr.type==”submodel” then print(d.id) end end end end

  5. Hey man don't mind the comments!

    Incredible video, thank you for informing the community of this. This is a very common issue that afects many players, myself included. Even having a mid tier PC, i wasnt expecting to have such a mediocre performance during certain fights/zones. I didn't really understood what a "Model" is or what it does, but I''m thankful to know that there can be an external cause to blame for the sometimes bad performance of the game.

  9. Im using the AtrocityUI and the weakauras in that pack dont have any models except for frost mage icicles apparently (i dont play frost mage so that wont load anyway) and my FPS on 30 man ansurek for example drop down to around 10….. tried without any addons and its still only around 30 fps, im on a god tier PC, updated drivers, optimized AMD settings, wow settings, updated drivers, did everything that anyone could come up with and it still sucks ass.

  10. I encountered a similar problem in DF, when my pala WA used fx models for holy power. But I think, that is not the only problem. When I using a lowers render scale (any other than 100%, for example 98%) with FidelityFX filter for better final rendering, the game is also being lagging if any of model are renders in UI layer: WA, overlay characters on frames, character screen, etc… Also, modern water shader with full reflection also being lagging, lol. So, the way for me in this case – set render scale to 100% or turn off any models in UI and set the lowest preset for water. I distinctly remember how the WOTLK version started to slow down in the middle of the expansion after the release of the next content patch and the update of the game engine, so this problem are common for all wow versions right now.

  12. hmmm….. i dont use weak auras. only addons i have running consistantly is tomtom and healbot (and even healbot is "disabled" on most my characters since most arent healers).. either of them is causing model issues?

  14. Do Icons/Progress bars/Prog textures/Text etc… count as models in this context? Or are we specifically taking 3D model auras?

    But even in palace with no addons go test FPS. This is a great and intelligent video on the issue though. TY for the vid though, glad people are bringing the game’s performance up.

  17. So I don’t even have WeakAuras downloaded. I use ElvUi. I however am having this same problem with my FPS tanking. So what is the play if you don’t even use / have WA downloaded and are still having this problem? Thanks.

  32. GJ man! keep the good work. I recently change my pc and game on raids running like dog shit. part of it were old addons. I am glad the problem has been issued my blizzard, since wow is only game I know where you bought a fresh pc and it still doesnt not work as intended. I probablu could lunch Wukong no maximum setup and it should run smoothly.
