Set fps cap to 60 to ensure machine is not over working for no reason. most macs have a 60hz screen which means any frame rate higher than 60 is totally useless.

that can cause machine to run too hot, overheat and throttle. Lastly, for SOME dumb reason every patch blizzard resets fps cap to 100. Make sure addon situation is squared away. Incompatible addons can make performance slow to a crawl too. it really is pretty common for a large patch to trigger large time machine backups or spotlight indexing to occur and if those tasks not yet complete I’d also run activity monitor and see if anything else is stealing processing power. it should be at like 50% not 100% then turn fidelity super resolution on in advanced options to make everything crisp as max render scale but with performance benefit of 50. I’d triple check graphics settings and make sure render scale didn’t get reset to a value that’s too high for a retina screen.

I know my friend mooni with her like 5 year old imac is doing fine, better than fine ever since FSR was able to take her performance up with this patch. Omegal - you are the only Mac user I know not having the issue… help a brother out? What should I do Please look into this asap, as I am not going to continue subscribing for a game I cannot play. Also note I am not using any external monitors, I play straight from the laptop. These 2 points were brought up by a Blizzard rep in another thread. I checked Activity Monitor, my CPU idle is 79%, so it’s definitely not CPU related and I don’t use time machine. I noticed other reports on this forum so I wanted to add another voice because the game is unplayable in fast-paced environments such as mythic keys and PVP. Now, regardless of what graphics level I set my game at, whether it’s 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 my FPS does not improve and the game is extremely slugging, remaining at 10-15 FPS. I play WoW a few times per week on the same MacBook Pro 16 (2019 - highest end model) that I’ve been using for over a year and have always had great performance with a steady 80 fps on graphics level 6. I logged into WoW tonight and it was almost unplayable, my FPS dropped significantly to 10-15 FPS.
