Performance issue in WoW ?
So I bought the 3D Vision mainly to play WoW, but I have performance issue when activating it. I would say the game is unplayable.

Problem I have is that my fps would go from 100 to 20 when 3D is on. And this is not in town, somewhere far from everything that asks too much for my PC. When I go somewhere with people and creatures it goes down to 7-8 fps, which is really really laggy. I turned off the shadows, and turned down the graphics a bit, but it's not better.

At first I was really disapointed with the bundle because I don't play many games except WoW. The effect is pretty cool but all I can do to enjoy it is to travel alone, far from town.

Anyone having the same problem?
Is it simply how it is ? :S
I've read many reviews from WoW players saying they enjoy it so... There's probably a way I can enjoy it too.

Setup:
Dual-core 6000+ 3.0Ghz
Corsair 4Ghz RAM 800Mhz
Geforce GTX260 OC Maxcore

if you have 100 fps without 3d activated, you should have around 50 with it turned on. At least that's what i've experienced. That's true of pretty much any game btw. I would suggest taking a look at some of your mods, maybe there is one that is causing some problems?

try to clear the cache folder and sometimes mods will really take FPS.. like questhelper. Also shadow.. if turned up all the way when 3d will drop it. So shadow at 3/4 you wont see any diff.
