Also forgot to mention my cpu temps stay around 50-60 and my gpu is around 60-70

What is idle CPU usage? When gaming, what is GPU usage? What is CPU usage of each core when gaming?

zeekman · Jun 12, 2016

The idle cpu usage is like 40 and when gaming it's like 80 for all the cores it's like 80-90 and the gpu usage is 70-93

zeekman · Jun 12, 2016

This has been happening for months now with all my games and i don't want to reinstall windows because my internet is really crappy and it will take days to install all my games again!

zeekman :

That idle CPU usage is far too high. Mine is like 2-4% on an I5-4460. What does Task manager show for programs using up the CPU? What ones are using a lot?

x3Google chrome battlenet msi afterburner

turkey3_scratch · Jun 12, 2016

zeekman :

What do you mean x3? Do me a favor, open up Task Manager, in the processes tab, click where it says "CPU" to sort it from most resource hogging programs to least, and upload the screenshot to imgur and post it here.

Could my gpu be defective But then again it would do the same on my gtx 970 and then i upgraded to a gtx 980ti

turkey3_scratch · Jun 12, 2016

zeekman :

No the GPU is not defective.

zeekman · Jun 12, 2016

Oh sorry i'm retarded it's at 10% cpu! at idle!

turkey3_scratch · Jun 12, 2016

Well anyway if GPU usage is 70-93% it's clearly not being used to its potential, and it seems your CPU load seems high; WOW may be a CPU intense game, but I can't see it stressing an I7-6700K that much. But it's not at 100%. I'm not quite sure what the problem here is.

It's been like this for months idk what els to do

Sounds like you have a bitminer trojan on your system.
1) download Roguekiller scan and clean
2) download ADWcleaner scan and clean
3) download JRT scan and clean
4) download Malwarebytes Antimalware scan and clean
5) download emsisoft emergency kit update, scan and clean

All these programs can be downloaded at http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/

zeekman · Jun 13, 2016

I downloaded everything above and it did not find one thing

zeekman · Jun 13, 2016

still need help bump!

zeekman · Jun 14, 2016

plz help!

turkey3_scratch · Jun 14, 2016

Not sure.

bystander · Jun 14, 2016

It would help if you define "FPS drops" to us. Every game has variations in FPS, the question is whether it is unusually low.

zeekman · Jun 14, 2016

It will drop like 10 fps when i'm clicking on a player or going into a different area for like 2 seconds and it's very noticable and rather annoying!

bystander · Jun 14, 2016

turkey3_scratch :

WoW has always been a CPU demanding game in the past. Most MMO's are, though many don't use more than a few cores. Don't overestimate new CPU's. They have not been progressing much in the past decade.

bystander · Jun 14, 2016

zeekman :

Do you have any mods installed? You should disable them all first, to see if it is a mod issue.

zeekman · Jun 15, 2016

I disabled all the mods and that was not the issue i deleted my interface/WTF/cache folders every thing and the fps drops still are there!

zeekman · Jun 15, 2016

I was playing the new doom/dark souls 3 just fine with no fps drops but with wow it's like every few mins!

techguy911 · Jun 15, 2016

sounds like an AA problem turn off AA and see if that fixes it.
AA=Anti Aliasing for some reason nividia is not optimized for AA with WoW.

Other reasons: glitched data try clearing cache and resetting ui without any addons: https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/resetting-the-world-of-warcraft-user-interface

Corrupt data files scan and repair: https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/repairing-blizzard-games

Packet loss there may be a problem with your router or internet connection try doing a pathping test: https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/running-a-pathping-test

And if your are running windows 10 the xbox app can cause huge frame rate drops try uninstalling it: http://www.howtogeek.com/224798/how-to-uninstall-windows-10s-built-in-apps-and-how-to-reinstall-them/

Try changing the power management in Nvidia control panel to prefer maximum performance.
WoW is a 90% CPU based game on an engine that is almost 15 years old it may be newer cpu's just don't run wow very well it is al about raw single core cpu power.
