    World of warcraft - win7 64bit. vs vista 32bit

    My setup
    Gigabyte p35-ds3l
    q6600
    2gb of ram
    xfx 9800 gt

    Win vista 32 bit (Legit copy of vista ultimate) - 1440x900
    Some settings at high, most at high/medium, a couple at low (shadow detail, view distance)
    Would usually stay at 60fps in naxx 10, heroics, most outdoor area's, choked in wintergrasp, and 30-40 fps in dalaran.

    Win 7 64 bit - 1440x900
    Everything on high
    Except view distance, about 70%
    60fps everywhere except dalaran. 45-50

    Ordered 4gb of ram now that im running 64 bit.

    Question World of Warcraft and UAC w/ W7?

    Posted in Windows 7 Support (more of a UAC question) how do I delete this post?



    So I copied WoW off my other drive onto the Windows 7 partition. I always like to give it a reset when I do this, so I deleted the Cache, Interface, and WTF folders like I always do. Then I started WoW from the wow.exe to rebuild the folders. It started fine. I exited and the folders were not there.

    Oh, ya, I remember Vista does that. You have to restart. Restarted. Not there... Oh, new UAC controls? Turned UAC all the way off / down. Did it again... not there.

    Does Windows 7 have another level of control on programs creating files and directories?

    Other than this, I'm very impressed thus far. Its snappy!

    I noticed a great improvement in fps after going from Vista x64 to Win7 x64.

    Intel C2Q Q6600 2.4Ghz
    4GB DDR2 RAM 800mhz
    XFX Geforce 8800GTX 768mb

    I was usually getting 30-55fps everywhere (but Dalaran) and 15-35fps in raids. I am now getting 50-60fps everywhere except for Dalaran and 40-60fps in raids.

    Where did you put the WoW folder? I put mine in the C:\Users\Public\Games folder and have had NO issues at all.

    WoW runs SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better! Man, if they keep this going this way and get these games ironed out and working well (or better) imagine all the systems that will be migrating to Windows 7? Who says Gamers don't get a say in the industry, hell, we drive more innovation than just about anyone else for Hardware/Software!

    How I Reset the Interface

    I just keep WoW in the default folder C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft.

    To reset the interface, I moved my UAC all the way down (lowest setting). Then I used the repair utility (repair.exe) and reset all files. Afterward I moved the UAC control up one notch from the lowest setting.

    My frame rates in Dalaran are still 35-40fps. I hoped they would be higher with the new video card.

    Oh, I'm using Windows 7 Beta 32bit. Why would the 64bit version be faster?

    Interesting, with Wrath of the Lich King, the installer moved it from the default folder to the C:\Users\Public\Games folder because of all the permissions issues with Vista and WoW Patching. If you move it there, it should resolve the issues you have been having and still allow you to keep UAC up a bit more than all the way off.

    I had 32 bit and 64 bit installed on my machine (dual boot) but I dumped 32bit for a couple primary reasons:

    1. I have 12GB of RAM, 32 bit not really good for that
    2. 64 bit is faster when I play WoW, but then again, more RAM in my case
    3. 64 bit is just *drooooolz* :P

    Ok, I got the hard drive space. I'll try a 64bit install and see. But with only 2GB of RAM I'm not expecting much difference.

    Hey what hard drive do you use? Wrath makes my hard drive crunch like crazy, esp. when I'm flying. I was thinking about getting a 60GB SSD. I would just use it for the OS, Firefox and WoW. From what I have read the Western Digital VelociRaptor sounds just about as fast.
