So i just built my new system, but i don't feel like I'm getting the performance i should. I'm only getting around 90 fps in World of Warcraft at medium settings.

The system:

Motherboard: Z87-A
CPU: i5 4670K - overclocked to 4.4 ghz
CPU COOLER: Corsair H110
GPU: Asus GTX 780 ti
SSD: 120 GB kingston
PSU: Corsair RM850 (850 watt)


Do you see a bottleneck here?

Lol then play on Ultra and enjoy the best graphics available! Why play on Medium?

MMORPG benchmarks are worthless. There are so many factors which can impact performance. Performance in a dungeon with a few players and a few creatures is going to be far better than performance in a city with tons of players. It's just the way MMOs work. So looking at 80 or 90 FPS is not the right way.

As long as you get 60+ FPS, you really won't miss out on anything, most of the times.

What resolution are you playing at? Try Ultra quality with high AA and tell the FPS you're getting. Also, what specific game are you talking about (like MoP, Cataclysm)? Moreover, do you have all the latest updates for the GPU drivers?

90 FPS is fine but not on Medium settings.

In World of Warcraft, your framerate is bound up in your internet connection. More players = more latency = your PC idles furiously, devoid of the information from the server required to run the game at higher framerates. When you download the game, you get the client, not many of the resources. That all has to stream through your internet connection.

Don't worry about WoW performance; if it's above 60 fps it's excellent. MMOs in general scale terribly with hardware simply because of their online and server based nature.
