I have had the 7811 since September and its run awesome with everything until recently. I have had a serious problem (starting today) with WoW running incredibly slow and stuttering every second. I usually have it running incredibly smooth but now I am getting 10 FPS in some locations and others only 20 FPS when i usually get 30-40. Th stuttering has been the big problem along with just loading the game. I deleted my addons and still trouble. I tried TF2 to see if there was a problem and that runs SUPER smooth. I even tried updating to the newest drivers with no luck. I even used canned air and sprayed the whole thing down and even cleaned off the processor and applied AS5 to it. Still nothing. This seems to start after I System Restored yesterday. I guess that could be the problem...When loading the game I am getting the bar to fully load then it stays at the loading screen until I disconnect.
I checked my Windows Performance score and my graphics went from 5.9 to 4.8 or something. I'm posting on the wow forums too but I'm guessing this goes beyond just WoW.

Its probably just WoW.
They just did a large update with the new game (my wife plays so i get to hear about all the "interesting stuff" going on in WoW world).
Usually from what i can find WoW goes through a pretty rough time during new updates until they get a few bugs worked out. According to my wife most of the servers have been full and crappy due to so much traffic. -
I guess try reinstalling WoW, since it sounds like the current installation could have gotten messed up.

It seems to be more of a video card choking issue. I downloaded the latest nvidia driver from xfastest after the problem occured...I'm wondering if I should just go with the gateway supported for the fact that this took away my hibernate and seems my fans are running more for no reason (33-40 degrees on GPU and CPU idle)
