Run WoW smoother on slower computer

[Pyromancer]

Have you ever feel that 'low' graphic settings isn't low enough?
Sometimes you got slowdown or freezing?
Here's some some commands to makes graphic settings even lower than low.

Ok, here it is.
First, you should set your graphic settings to 'low'
Then you enter these commands

/console gxcolorbits 16
/console gxdepthbits 16
/console skycloudlod 0
/console particledensity 0.3
/console lod 0
/console fullalpha 0
/console doodadanim 0
/console mapshadows 0
/console loddist 50
/console smallcull 2
/console maxlights 0
/console specular 0
/console pixelshader 0
/console detaildensity 1
/console unitdrawdist 20
/console waterlod 0
/console basemip 1
/console shadowlevel 1
/console alphalevel 1
/console anisotropic 16
/console textureloddist 80
/console light 0
/console fog 0
/console bitdepth 16
/console showwater 0
/console maxlod 0 << Warning, this line crash some people, if you try this and your client crash, remove this line.
/console watermaxlod 0
/console waterwaves 0
/console waterspecular 0
/console waterripples 0
/console waterparticulates 0
/console showshadow 0
/console skyclouddensity 0
/console skysunglare 0
/console skyshow 0

and then you type
/console gxrestart
to restart your graphic engine.

And you'll got a lower graphic settings

[Executionerr]

[AllyMcHeals]

Tested it on my crappy laptop, pretty good.

[Jon171]

Can I put these all into 1 macro?

[noes]

Some1 Screenshot :> Me wants to see !

[Ziddy1337]

Can I put these all into 1 macro?

I think you can, but you would need to use the macro for each command. So if you put your macro on the 1 key, you would need to press 1 for every command.

I'm probably wrong though.

[Jon171]

This worked very well for me, and to be honest I didn't even notice a change in graphics. thanks a lot. +rep

[Saturn1337]

This caused me to crash and when I logged back in all teh macros I made were gone and it appears back to normal.

[Ziddy1337]

I got this after putting in the 3rd from bottom when i tried:

ERROR #134 (0x85100086) Fatal Condition
Program: C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\WoW.exe

CMapChunk::CreateVerticesWorld() called with lod != CWorld::lodMax.

[DarkGuardDK]

Hmm... Thank you very much!
Saturn and ziddy, it's the /console maxlod 0 that makes it crash.

[J4R]

Nice. Works Great

[Lakotaness]

Um.. how can you undo this? it didnt give me much of an increase at all although my settings were fine at the lowest.. but now water has a nasty jagged edge. Its displeasing :x

Restart WoW, these settings don't saved unless you put it into Config.wtf
If you did put it into Config.wtf, remove it and then restart your WoW.
