Tips for improving performance I've found so far:


> BUT: There are many guides out there that tell you to add that "DisableExtension" parameter to your registry - for me that was the main issue, letting my FPS go down. Adding the registry key, dropped my FPS by about 30-40%!
> 
> Second thing: On several sites it is suggested to disable Pixel Shaders for WoW (because of a bug with patch 3.0.2, I think). That option dropped my FPS another 10-20%.

So I'll remove the registry key and see if I can enable pixel shaders (not sure what that's about yet).


Can anyone tell me how to measure my FPX in WoW?

Really got to get back to work now :(
