No doubt about that. > The WAUW!!-factor was pretty high there. :) > The stuttering has been adjusted to what for now is a tolerable level. The graphics were changed with the patch. Various adjustments for buffering, frame rates, input lag, ping optimisation, resolution , most of which affect others. Even though the ctrl-r rate would hardly change the effects could be very great. It was running in HD 1920x1080 50-80fps depending on what was ultra and what details I was happy to do without. Now it is in 1280x?? 30fps. I don't actually need high res, mostly I am looking at large icons and text anyway but it used to comfortably handle it so I left it at whatever options I had worked out. I know I don't have the latest top level graphics, I only have end of 2013, but it was quite peachy for my needs last week. I can't see any justification to pay $1000 a year for new cards and another $200 a year in power to keep up with a $180 a year game. I do run multiple monitors and often have streams, remote log screens, tv etc running while wow is on. That may have given it the wobblies, but it WAS fine last week and I am not going to run wow standalone. A bit happier. But much faffing about just for a hairy moustache graphic that isn't being rendered now anyway.
