    Hey, i will play wow with my m17x but with default sli settings, i got micro stuttering and no performance boost(as a single gpu). I use 186.92 Driver. What can i do, to optimize my performance? I play the game with ultra details, no aa on 1920x1200 and i got ~30avg fps

    Turn off Shadows. You already have AA off or I'd suggest that too.

    HI ex2j,
    Turning off shadows may or may not be necessary. During earlier versions of WOW, there was a flickering issue that contributed to the micro stutter. Since then, the issue has be resolved for Nvidia users (ATI users aren't so luckly). Also, you may noticed that the sound tends to stutter along with your micro stuttering. You may want to try disabling hardware cursor, as this is a known issue.

    Thanks,
    Gabe
