High end system, massive fps drops (stuttering)
Hey all,
As the title says, I am having big issues with FPS drops in-game.
When I first start up the client there is nothing wrong. My FPS is perfect, it stays at 165 and everything is great.
But then about 2-3 hours later the same thing ALWAYS occurs: my fps starts getting awful spikes every few seconds, to the point where my screen stutters.
It will got from 165 - 10 - 120 - 165 - 15 - 100 - 150 - 20 - 130 - 25 - 160 - 15 etc etc continuously, making huge stutters on my screen where it feels like the screen freezes for a milisecond every few seconds. It's basicly unplayable and just makes we want to quit straight away.
It doesn't matter where I am, in Dalaran or somewhere alone or in a dungeon or a raid, it always does the same thing.
Things I have tried so far that haven't solved it:
- turning off all addons
- restarting client
- everything low on graphics
- windowed mode
- full screen mode
- vertical sync on and off
My specs are:
CPU: Intel i7 9700K
GPU: 2080 RTX
RAM: 16GB
These specs are definetly overkill for WOTLK WOW. So I know that isn't the issue.
I have googled about this issue pretty extensively and found some old threads, but nothing with a definitive solution.
My next step will probably be a fresh install of the client, but I am hoping someone else has had this same problem and somehow fixed it.
Hopefully someone has the answer!
kind regards and thank you in advance for anyone with a solution
Thanks, this worked for me

Try disabling Hardware Cursor in your settings as well. Friend had the same problem after NVIDIA update but disabling that worked for him
Thanks I unchecked the box and now my game runs at 144hz as it should :)
