Optimizing WoW City Performance
In Valdrakken, I felt completely overwhelmed as many players caused massive frame drops and loading delays of 3-5 seconds. I tried disabling all non-essential addons, which improved loading by only 1 second but failed to fix the stutters in crowds. I then used the GamePP Resource Scheduler to set memory page allocation to Priority mode and raised the game's I/O priority. RTSS showed frame time reduced from 25-45ms to 14-20ms, and fan speed stabilized at 1200-1400RPM per GamePP fan tool.
