I know, it's useless... but it gets me excited.

Was playing WOW earlier... and started a new character... and... inside the castle... I got up to 491.8 FPS!!!

What is everyone's MAX FPS they have seen in WOW?

🙂

What were your settings? I'm sure I could top 500fps if i set everything to low and 640x480 😀

My normal max settings at 1920x1200 are 30-60fps during heavy raiding, its beautiful 🙂
 
I'm sure if you looked around you could find a place with a very bland wall and hardly any lighting and your FPS would go way way up. Max FPS means very little. That and most LCDs I've used refresh 60 times per second so isn't more than 60 FPS just... wasted?
 
Yeah yeah yeah, I'm a n00b.

Where do you set WoW to give you FPS?

I can report back with mine. I've been playing with 1920x1200, I think, with everything maxed and it looks great.

Just press control-R and you're set.

I usually get 55 FPS outdoors with 1680x1050 resolution, 24-bit FSAAx1, and most settings on high.

You're probably right IF they're in sync. I would imagine that a higher frame rate might allow for a lack of synchronization between the monitor and video card.

There's a way to sync them (via that VSYNC mode), isn't there?

Oh, wait, that's complicated. I just went to Google, fount of all knowledge, and found this.

Average fps..

I'm running 1900x1200 with every setting set to max. I average 30 fps outside, no matter what's going on. 22 when flying from town to town for some reason, and 60+ when inside buildings.
 
More important - what is your min fps in a 25 man raid?

not a clue! I just started playing... LOL and no... My old MacBook couldnt... Never could get above 20fps with same settings no matter WHERE I was... Which is why I never played LOL

And yes... I know its completely pointless... Still love a machine this powerful LOL
 
A good indication of min FPS would be Hyjal trash. I bottom out at about 20fps there with 1920x1200, 2xAA, and Max Settings.
