Easy done fps boost

[m0rfin]

What im tellin ya now is nothin special or even totally secret but maybe some ppl didnt know it and it will help them:

Open to the Task-Manager and select the wow.exe and at the priority to "high".

It gave me a solid boost of around 15 FPS.

Do NOT do this, it makes your system go crazy and unstable!

depends on your cpu, You need quite good CPU and Memory to do this

[angra]

To put WoW on "high" priority, I guess you would need a Quad Core CPU, 4GB ram and a 512MB PCI-E graphic card, unless your computer has no OS and nothing else than WoW running (which is impossible) to run it lagfree.

And even then..

No you wouldn't need a quad core I'm running a laptop with 1gb ram and 1.6ghz core duo and i can run other applications fine, MSN, firefox opened while WoW is set to high. Dunno why your computer is crapping itself.

OMG WoW runs with the crappiest Hardware and your talking about prioritys -_-

[Tankotron]

what about realtime?

[SardonRayne]

I often had to do this on my laptop, it's 100% safe... IF you don't put the priority too high. I think Realtime is above your actual Operating system, or something like that, anywho setting it at Realtime WILL cause major lag on your entire computer, never go passed "High".

Also this does rely heavily on your computer's specs, but it's defiantly worth a try, I had a friend who did it on his crappy PC, and it went from 5 FPS(I know...) to 20-25 FPS for him. Needless to say, he was quite happy.

Also, the worst that has ever happened to me, I put it on realtime and my computer froze, and I restarted and it was all okay. =)
Also! You must set it back everytime you open WoW.

o thank you for this

[AngelR3kon]

Works just fine!!!! Improved by around 6 FPS at the moment. I'll see as the frame rate deteriorates later. BY THE WAY...For the noobs out there....THIS DOES NOT SCREW YOUR COMPUTER OVER...unless you set priority to realtime. Then you will freeze your computer as said by Sardon. If you're running vista and are new to process prioritys just find wow.exe in your process tab in task manager and then right click on it
Select "Perform Administrative Tasks"
Select wow.exe again...Right Click on it. Select Priority.
Select either Above Normal or High.
Now I just have to find something to get me some rep :d

I did this, It worked fine! Until i woke up this morning and my computer was pretty much ruined. Wow shows up as blurry moving squares. I wouldn't suggest doing this!

Just test it out, if it ****s up, just put it back to normal and restart your computer. nothing harder.

[Tankotron]

why not put it to realtime though?

[prosbloom225]

Realtime = bad. I'm pretty sure it would give the wow.exe process priority over things that it shouldn't have if set to realtime. Probably over some essential windows services.
