Forgive me if this has been discussed somewhere else, but I didn't come up with anything during a search...
Is anyone else experiencing a frame rate cap in WOW on a Core 2 Duo machine? Mine will sometimes cap out at either 60fps or stay at 64.1fps. My rig is listed in my signature.
The really weird thing is that the cap sometimes doesn't occur. Occasionally when I log in, I can get up to 128fps when nothing else is going on (like standing next to a wall). I can even get in the 60's in IF near the AH, which would slow me to a crawl on my old system. In AV, I was getting in the mid 70's. However, for reasons unknown, the frame rate will suddenly get capped at 60 or 64.1, sometimes in the middle of a session. Restarting WOW has no effect on this.
I've checked all the normal stuff. Vert sync is turned off, etc. For reference, I'm in 1600x1200, 75hz, everything maxed out (glow, vsync, and level of detail turned off). I've read about a problem that Blizzard had with this that was supposedly fixed in the 1.12 patch. And, like I said, sometimes I get 120+ frame rates, while other times I get this annoying cap.
I can't get on the WOW forums, guess they're down (as usual), so I don't know if there's been a discussion on this.
Any insight would be appreciated
