Disable SLI if you get shuttering.

1. Upgrade your Processor, RAM, PowerSupply, Motherboard and Graphics Card to PCI-Express 2.0 x16
- I recommend everyone to upgrade their Processor, RAM, PowerSupply, Motherboard and Graphics Card.

Recommended Processor: Intel Core™ 2 Duo E8600

Recommended RAMs: Minimum: 512MB and Maximum: 16GB

Recommended Motherboard: Intel DX58SO

Recommended PowerSupply: Thermaltake Toughpower 1200W

Recommended Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce 260GTX

PC Space: 500GB to 2TB

Exaggerate ?

I am running the
Thermaltake Toughpower 1200W
ATI Radeon HD 4870 x2 2GB GDDR5 Gfx card
Micro Asus board can't find the exact model # but its the one with the onboard 1GB GDDR3 gfx card(that I don't use)
8gb DDR2 memory(64 bit ftw)
and my amazing processor which is the new AMD Phenom X4 OC'd to 5.0 ghz(so 5ghzx4= 20ghz of processing power Keeps up with the new I7 on the benchmarks

lol.. wow.. you really discover this one!!

You cant really add up the ghz, mate.

Multicore processing power isn't quantified multiplicatively; you're still only processing at 5 GHz, but your theoretical throughput is four times that of a single core processor.

Oh, and quad-core processors are largely underutilized right now; for most purposes, you'll actually see better results overclocking a dual core than a quad, simply because the dual is much more heat tolerant (but, obviously, there are exceptions).

Just curious, what do you idle at?

[blizzsource]

I don't know what I am idling at all I know is that compared to my single core board i had a few days ago this is a way bigger upgrade. I also heard that Ocing dual cores is better for gaming then quad cores.

ofcourse everybody knows this people....
its just that some of us forget about info we already know or forget to download it from the grey mass up there when we need it

thnx for this i thought it was the graphix update that caused my 25fps.... now im happy up on 40/60 again

u all react like its some leacher (liek me) trying to get some rep in a cheesy way... its just a guy helping out making sure people dont got formating there comp without trying this first.... like he did

thnx again

This guide could help the children with new 999core super laptops, but some of us, with the new graphic card nVidia EN8800GT get 1/4 of normal fps as soon as we enable shadows while others, with older graphic cards get much better fps. This won't get fixed by updating drivers for anything, perhaps by downgrading to more stable drivers.
Anyways, this post is for those who also get insane lag when they turn on shadows in-game, have a quad core processor and 3 gigs of ram and a super computer in every possible way that can run all games but WoW just fine - who thought that this post was about that.
This doesn't fix it, get a new graphics card
