[How to] gain FPS - noobguide

[michael93]

Hey searched and found nothing. I HAVE MADE THIS MYSELF!!
After being in 25man naxx i have heard alot of people complaining about their lagg.
So i made this little guide on how to increase your FpS.

Some of those methods under isent tested by myself.



Step:1
Ok first of all you would want to remove the FPS cap that is on wow. (60 fps)
To do that you just copy-paste this into wow chat and press enter

/console maxfps 100

________________________________________________________________________________ __________________

Step:2
Another way to increase your fps (might seem abit logic but ill post it anyways) will be to decrease your video effects.

In wow press escape untill you get the menu up. Go to video --> effects.
Then you set these down.

View distance.
Environment Detail
Texture Resolution
Ground Clutter Density
Texture Filtering
Spell Detail
Ground Clutter Radius
Weather Intensity
Shadow Quality

Then off check: Specular Lightning, Death effect, Full screen glow effect.

Note: While your under Video options remember to check the refresh rate on your screen. it should always (ALWAYS) be on the highest. You find the option under Resolution.
Also remember to set off Vsync (Vertical Sync) as it should increase your FPS by anywere from 5-30.

Now you go back to menu and press Sound and Voice.
Then Off check: Enable sound

Another thing that should increase alot will be to play in Windowed mode (non-maximized)

Step:3
(Not sure if it works on all computers)
Well basicly this is quiet easy. All you have to do is to: close wow completly. Open WMP (Windows Media Player) and Re-open wow.

As i said it havent been prooved to work completly.
Difrent arguments have been made such as:

''You will need Dual-Core for this to work''
''Only works on XP''
''This isent working after (patch here)''

________________________________________________________________________________ __________________

Step:4
Ok im pretty sure some of you folks have alot of un-nesecesary programs running while raiding or something.

Basicly just open your joblist (i think its called) by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F4 Or Ctrl+Shift+Esc.
Now go under ''Processer'' (i think its called).
Then simply close stuff you dont need.
Note: Nothing bad can acturly happen by doing this dont worry. The worst that can happen is that you would need to restart your computer. Just try to avoid closing system runners^^
For example my Joblist would look like this:

________________________________________________________________________________ __________________

Step:5
If you feel like going expensive you can always go buy some RAM and/or a new Proccesor.

Heres what i think. (Dcore = dual core)

_________Minimum:XP_______Recomended______Minimum:Vista_____Recomended:Vista____
RAM________1GB______________2GB_______________2GB________________3-4GB_________
Processor___Dunno=S___________Dunno=S________Dcore 1.8GhZ________Dcore 2.3GhZ______


Thats what i think, it might not be the way it is just the way i think.

Were i live 1GB of RAM costs about: 100Dkr. (would be around 10GbP)
And my 2.8GhZ processor costed : 600Dkr. (Would be around 60GbP)
________________________________________________________________________________ __________________

Step:6
Disabling all unnecessary addons will also increase your FPS quiet alot tbh.
Will also decrease loading screen time! YAY!!

You, my friend, are a retard.
The 25-man Naxx lag isn't about FPS, it's about the servers not capable of holding such mass directed userpower on one spot in several different instance keeps. l2read forums.

erm, right here: http://www.mmowned.com/forums/wow-gu...t-section.html (What You Should and Should NOT Post In This Section)

Well what i see there is:
REPOSTS! (USE THE Search BUTTON)
Guide Packs (NONE AT ALL)
Stupid Guides (IE: Get a deathknight on any server by waiting until patch 3.0.8, How to stop playing wow, etc)
Macro/UI Stuff ( We have a forum for that: UI & Macro Discussions)
Bots/Programs (We have a forum for that too: Bots and Programs)
Exploration related things (How to get to top of <place>, finding places to fall through the world, etc. Those go in WoW Exploration)
Non-Wow related stuff (IE: How to get free <whatever>, how to make a ton of money, etc. That should go in General Chat)

There isent saying anywere that i cant post FPS guides? or am i compleetly wrong?

also little known using a USB and/or Wireless keyboard and mouse can lower FPS
