    Hello everyone! I have had my laptop for about a year now.... I used to play wow and have great fps at 50 plus most the time it was in the 60s... Now when I play In town i get about 4 to 10 and in dungeons and questing i get about 30... I know I need to clean up and re-pasted everything as someone has suggested too me... The thing that gets me is I can play left 4 dead 2 and get nice smooth gaming on max settings.. So what I have tried is turning off crossfire, reloading the drivers, flashing the vbios, and turning the settings down in ccc to a minimum... None of these works why cant I play wow on ultra? Any help will be greatly appreciated! The cards run at 40-47 degrees Celsius on a heavy load...

    Check for stealth mode. Pretty sure thats it. Doesn't sound like the cards are clocking up to 3D clocks.
