Hello,
i am having alot of stuttering in wow and i believe i shouldnt have any. i know other ppl have the same problem but i noticed some of my hardware is a boost comapared to the others and so i shouldnt be having gfx/cpu problems and i have more than enough ram. the slowest piece of hardware on my computer is a WD 7200 rpm HDD but i doubt thats the problem. some system specs:
c2d e5400(oc) 3.83ghz water cooled
ga-ep45t usb3p mobo
6gbs ddr3(1333)ram
ati hd5850(asus EAH5850) oc to 890mhz while playing 3d games
650w corsair PSU

i also reduce programs running in the background and run a cleaner before gaming to free up ram. of the 6gbs of ram, 74% of it is free while gaming and my c2d is around 40-60% load while player wow. any advice to stop stuttering? i know its achievable cuz i had a friend with a less modern system playing wow with absolutely no stuttering lag or fps drop.
