I am getting 60fps max in WoW, and I cannot understand why. I'm running 8800GTS 640mb in SLi, I have a intel e6750, Striker Extreme and 2g DDR2 800 RAM. I am unable to get it above 60fps while in game. I have all the settings turned up at 1680x1050 resolution.

I cannot find anything wrong with my system that I know of. I haven;t overclocked it, or messed with the BIOS in anyway except to change the boot priority.Maybe its the resolutions but im not buying it at all, ive heard of lower end systems getting higher fps then I'm getting.

Any Advice?? Thanks

Your question has been answered, but I am just curious is to why you want more than 60 FPS? Especialy in WoW where there is no need. Just curious!

 

Best,

You don't have any hardware issues there. 60's the limit, as J said.

Turn VSYNC off and you will get over 200fps like my system

Yup, WoW limits the framerate to whatever your refresh rate is on your monitor, if you have Vsync on.

Since I'm on a CRT, mine is maxed at 75fps.

I guess its not that I want MORE FPS, just that my system should be able to produce more then 60 and i didn't want anything to be wrong with it.

I dont know where you guys got the idea that 60fps is max for WOW, but it isnt.

He just has his V-Sync on. There used to be a FPS cap which was related to dual core's. But that was resolved many patches ago.
