I have just recently installed a new graphics card (Nvidia GeForce 9800 GTX+) and it works fine.
the temps are good under load about 45-50 degrees. but the frame rates when i play world of warcraft are terrible. it stays at around 20fps and drops to 10 at often intervals

what could be causing this? i have 4gbs of ram and a 3ghz processor which is well above the recommended specs.

the fan also starts to GO nuts once the CPU starts working at higher levels which never HAPPENED before.

any help will be greatly appreciatedWhat temperatures does it reach when you're playing WOW?

Any other games you can try it out on? How do they perform?

Have you tired playing WOW with lower settings?

Did you install the Graphics Card DRIVERS with its CD?it goes to 50 degrees

they work fine but the same problem persists

yea the FPS stays the same at around 20

it didnt come with one
Is hardware acceleration set to full?

Start, control panel, display, settings, advanced, troubleshoot,

If you have installed the latest video DRIVER for your video adapter and you continue to experience graphic issues with the Graphics Hardware Acceleration slider set to ‘Full’, try experimenting by reducing the acceleration by one notch and checking the results.


If it didn't come with a CD, what driver have you installed if any?

Anyway, you should download the latest driver and see if that fixes your problem.
