Has it got a driver profile for SLI? Maybe turn SLI off or something... a single 7800GT is plenty for WC3...

I'm assuming you have all drivers and everything up to date, and other games are fine of course.

With a game like WoW, it's hard to say for sure.

It might have nothign to do with your system, could be your internet connection or a really busy server.

Did you used to have another computer on the same connection that worked fine?

If you say it's laggy then I would think its your internet connection!!

Check you connection speed or change to a different gamin server.
