So, I'm not quite sure why I can't run WoW Legion on at the very least setting 8-9 with a constant 60FPS.

Anyone familiar with WoW, I can go to 7 and drop to around 40-43 AVG FPS in an average City setting. (About 30-40 other characters on screen).
And i'll also get very random drops in FPS (around 20) for no apparent reason, it seems like the card is struggling when it really shouldn't have any issue.

Yes i'm sure I'll see the usual "thats what you get with AMD" however Legion is not an extremely demanding game that requires an i7-7700k just to play the game on near-high/ultra settings.

My current set-up should be more than capable.

1. try turning off SSAO
fx performs poorly in wow due to bad optimization of the cpu, from what i've read so far ( only uses 3cores out of 8)

2. check if your drivers are up to date, could be the source of the problem.

I know the drivers are up yo date for sure.
Ill check out disabling SSAO

dont worry i had the same issue with Legion and wow as of late it has been lagging

I reinstalled Windows didnt upgrade to windows 10


But sadly i tried all my graphics drivers made sure to update anything out of date
i uninstalled old drivers and reinstalled nothing worked

And ofc wow techs say the same thing over and over

It has to be something on there end
