Huge fps drops in Wotlk (Fx-6300 CPU)

Hi, been playing Wrath for a few years now, and i noticed lately that my fps started to get alot worse in cities and dungeons in general. I have a pretty bad cpu (Fx-6300) but since the game is 10 years old and used to run very well on my older computer, i am quite confused. So I actually don't know if my cpu is to blame for the really poor perfomances or if the game is simply badly optimised for "modern" computers, regardless of if i upgrade my cpu (which is planned). Thanks in advance! (I play with WoD models btw)

Don't use WoD models, download old launcher and it should work better.

I will try this out, thanks!

Actually after having checked, i'm using the Legion character models, not the WoD one, does it make a difference?

It's the same thing, doesn't matter. Try running classic (old) launcher.

huh, i tried with the old models and it indeed gives me a good 10-15 fps boost, i'm actually surprised. A bit sad as i really like the new models, but hey, performance over appearance, thanks alot!
