Framerates in Northrend? (WotLK)

[SsZERO]

Hey guys I have a powerful system and I'm getting total crap framerates in Northrend. Not all parts, mainly the parts with a lot of trees and shit. I've been messing with the graphics settings but I'm still getting like 1/2 the framerates I should be getting.

Example, any other part of the game I sustain 60 FPS or more. Northrend gives me like 30-40 FPS, with dips as low as 10 FPS. WTF? I should be gettin 60 FPS with all settings maxed out!! I'm running an 8800GT video card with Q6600 CPU...my system should be able to tear this game up. Anyone else found a way to get around the framerate issue in northrend?

Try disabling the dynamic shadows. I know it sucks but they must not be optimized so you're gonna get shitty framerates with them enabled. Blizz needs to L2Program. lol

yeah the shadows can cause major problems, they might be fixed in a patch or two
