Just thought I'd post how i (seemingly) fixed some of my fps issues on wow. I'm using an 8 series NVidia graphics card and Vista 32-bit. No idea how doing this will effect other cards/OS.

I've not yet tested this in raids, but in dalaran I'm getting enough of a fps increase to make this relevant. (For general running around in the world i get about 4 times the fps i did before)

I tried using old graphics drivers, no noticeable improvement there but might want to give it a go.
Other people also had improvements by totally disabling the combat log, although again no obvious improvement for me there yet.

Simply enough i opened the NVidia control panel -> Manage 3D settings tab -> Program settings. I then created new settings for WoW, I am by no means using the lowest possible settings and I'm already seeing double the fps outside of raids. Although for some reason my computer refuses to save my settings when i turn it off :S

Hopefully this is of some help, though no clue why it works tbh.
