Framerate drops occasionally in WoW
So far WoW works pretty nice in 3D - unfortunately though my framerate drops after a while (usually after a few mins). I noticed that after I alt-tabbed back to the desktop the framerate improved again when I reentered the game - if only for a while.

Is this a common problem with WoW, the Nvidia Drivers or am I simply missing something?

i suggest driversweeping your older driver and installing the newest ones from nvidia. Also download the newest 3d vision driver and install those.

Then also check your system voltages in bios to see if your memory is getting enough power to the manufacturers specs.

What videocard are you using?

I have been playing wow for a long while now after I got my mitsubishi tv and everything works wonderfully.

my specs are

e8500 4.0 ghz
GTX 260 vanilla.
mushkin DDr 2 2x2gb 1066mhz at 2.1 v

Everything seems to work seemlessly for me. No drops in fps aside from the normal stuff.

Gonna give it a go with the new beta drivers and see if it improves stuff - I installed Windows completly from scratch a little while ago and I think I haven't used any other driver before the one I currently installed - then again: Doesn't hurt checking :)

As for my specs...

Phenom 9950@2.6GHz
4GB GeiL PC2-6400@2.0V
GTX285
