So, with the full pain in my heart, I started this article. The times when World of Warcraft could run on a potato instead of a PC are far behind us. Today, to start playing, you need to optimize graphical settings for better FPS, even if your PC is not the lowest tier. I found that my PC wasn\u2019t able to play World of Warcraft smoothly since Shadowlands. But with some tricks, I optimized the graphical settings, some renderers, and others, and was able to play the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, Blizzard has invented and included FSR 2.0 in World of Warcraft, but sadly, it\u2019s still a piece of crap that can\u2019t optimize performance effectively. So, the time has come. Together with the community, all the reddits, my own experience, and the experience of others, I created the first guide for optimizing graphical settings for better FPS in World of Warcraft: The War Within. I\u2019ll strive to show you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Lighting settings<\/strong> \u2014 Which are not important but can increase FPS while you play Warcraft.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Settings you can disable<\/strong> \u2014 Without the pain in your eyes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Potato mode<\/strong> \u2014 This was my own creation. It feels like a total buttpain, but you can still do top MDI DPS in raids, tank keys higher than 10+, and do other things.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    So, until we have a working FSR in our Warcraft, let the settings… change?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When we\u2019re talking about real graphic optimization for World of Warcraft on a low-end PC (a potato), we need to remember some unobvious tips that enable you to play Warcraft more comfortably. Optimization here isn\u2019t about achieving 180 FPS on a 144 Hz monitor. It\u2019s about getting more than 20 FPS and being able to play your rotation smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Stable Operating System<\/strong> \u2014 Go back to a stable version of Windows 10 or Windows 7. Windows 11 has Game Bars, recorders, and other services that can impact performance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Transfer Discord<\/strong> \u2014 Move your Discord from your PC to your mobile phone. While it sounds weird, Discord eats not only your internet traffic (which we can\u2019t optimize) but also consumes about 1 to 5 GB of RAM. The mobile version of Discord is much more optimized, so when you\u2019re playing with your mates in raids or Mythic+, it\u2019s better to reduce the load on your PC by using your phone for voice chat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Remove Unnecessary Apps<\/strong> \u2014 Delete all unnecessary apps from your memory. This frees up resources for your game.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Graphics Card Settings<\/strong> \u2014 Go into your Nvidia GeForce Experience or Radeon Adrenalin software and set World of Warcraft to high priority. Limit the FPS to 24-27. The fewer FPS your game has to render from the start, the less load on your graphics card\/processor, resulting in a more stable and smooth gameplay experience.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      By following these small tricks, you can start your gameplay on much lower PC settings than expected. These routines help optimize your PC outside of Warcraft. Now, let\u2019s also optimize your in-game graphical settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1. Zoom Out Command Hack<\/strong> \u2014 Use a console command to increase your maximum zoom-out capability by 37%. This helps you see projectiles and mechanics earlier.\n
