BARELY better than a 8400GS..Fairly the same. Your memory bandwidth is about the same. It might be almost playable/kind of.

Last time I'll post in this thread...
I looked around, and actually HAVE a 8400GS laying on a shelf... So I popped it in, and my FPS in Dal and such were in the same range as the OP. (No other settings changed from my 9600GSO). When I went to Ironforge, and "ran the circle" on my mount, the FPS was at 35 or so. With my 9600GSO, it's at 80 when nothing else on my system is taxing video at all. Next, I tried it in Windows 7 64bit Ultimate. My FPS was about 5-10% lower in all those places than in Linux. But the percentage drop from my 9600GSO was about the same. So I thought..."Why not pop my 9600 back in, and do a comparison between Linux/wine and Win7, and record the results?" So I did. And here they are. I then tried the same thing with my 8400GS, but the video choked. Basically, you need a better vidcard, OP. And I've managed to prove that wine/WoW IS faster. |
I am curious. What are your computer specs?
|
Mine?
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ 2GB DDRII ram Nvidia 9600GSO 768MB DDRII Nothing spectacular. Need to go to a X3 or X4 if I want to get better FPS in raids, etc |
This is what I don't get. I did upgrade my card to something a little better. GT220. And I am having the same issues. It is making me wonder if something else is going on. I have an AMD x2 4400+, 4GB RAM. Power supply is a 400 watt. Not too far off from your specs.
In Windows XP I can't get the FPS past 60, even with all the video effects at the very minimum. In Vista with Aero off, I can get an average of 70 FPS with everything on except Shadow and Water effects. In Wine with everything off it hovers around 20-30 fps with all effects off. In Dalaran it is in the upper teens to low 20's with everything off. I am completely lost on this. It makes no sense. Edit: With glxgears I am getting: With the small default size window - Quote:

I can't get a GT240 or higher since my computer does not have a PCIE 2.0, so a GT220 is all I can do with that. But like I said I am thinking it is not the Video Card that is the problem. |
