Hey, I built my computer about a year ago. At the time, WoW would run great going up to 180 fps in an empty zone, however recently it dropped to about 80-100 in certain zones. However, it has decreased to a 60 max. Sometimes the fps would be fluctuating between 30-60 but it would stay constantly at 60. I've tried reinstalling drivers. Not sure if I did that right. Was hoping I would get more fps in the long run. I've been running a gigabyte z87x ud5h cf motherboard. AMD crossfire x amd radeon r9 200x . Intel I5 4670 @ 3.4 GHz. Any help would be appreciated. It looks as though fps is unaffected by switching from low to high. Or it is very minimal. Recently installed windows 10. Tried running razer cortex to see if background apps was causing it, but it is not the sole cause. I've also tried clearing dust in the sockets

Hi there,
It could be windows 10 but I don't think so, when I installed windows 10 I noticed a significant fps boost. How many watts is your PSU? You might be overloading it with the 2 R9 200X's
