Solved WoW and triple monitor setup

[MrNeeds]

The GPU's will be able to cope with physx better than your CPU ever could, have a fiddle and see what the results are, very nice setup kanchoo :-D

A physix gpu test invalidates the results according to Futuremark, but it really looks nice to hsave that huge score.

Glad all went together well.

Looks nice

Well It won't let me set a gpu as a dedicated physx card. Maybe has something do with the the 3-way sli or my triple monitor setup? I'm also still having problems with WoW. This time It's freezing and I'm getting a error 132 message. I tried running memtest86, deleting the cache, interface, and wtf, folders, deleting all the addons, and finally I un-installed and re-installed the game... I can play the game and do a dungeon or two, just so long as I don't do much if any flying. That seems to make it crap out. My fps sits at 60, and stays between 38-60 no matter where I am or what I'm doing. This of course is with all settings maxed, as that was my original goal. I am currently running 2x 4gig sticks of 1333mhz samsung ram. I ordered 4x 4gig sticks of gskill 1866mhz ddr3 which should be here soon. If that doesn't fix the problem, then I have no idea what to do. One would think a 3k+ brand new computer with a ssd and beastly gpu power would be enough to run WoW on three monitors max settings. /sigh

Hope this doesn't offend but World of Warcraft is a bit of a waste of a 3k computer, your computer could run any game out at the moment with triple monitors, let's just say that I wouldn't be wasting my time on WoW.

Yes I understand that. Which is why I am so pissed off that it WON'T run wow at max settings without problems haha. I play WoW because I enjoy it, not because it pushes my computer's abilities. Although if I can't get it to run correctly I may have to give up on it

Well, to be honest, world of Warcraft isn't a graphics intensive game, it's a RAM killer, if the RAM upgrade doesn't sort the freezing out then it's not your PC at fault, it's just bad programming.

Well you give me hope that the ram will solve my problem. Fingers crossed.

 

[Patonb]

You do have slow ram. A quick search shows its crappy WoW and ram.

Hopefully it'll fix it with new better ram.

Well I'm at a complete loss. I exchanged the 8 gigs of 1333 ddr3 for 16 gigs of 1866 ddr3 and I still get the error 132 message. I never got this message ever before on my old system. It would just run too slow/low fps.

Error 132? that's an access violation, have you got UAC turned off by any chance?

I turned that off. Still got the same freeze and error. I tried turning vsync on and off, turning multisampling all the way up and down, same with AA. I also tried turning the shadows down a bit. All ended up with the same result. While flying the game would freeze and give me a error 132. I also ran the windows memory diagnostic and it said no errors found.

I wonder what about my new system would cause this? For reference I can play crysis 2 max settings at 6140x1080 with no problems..

It's just WoW, error 132(as I've been reading everywhere) is unique to world of warcraft, it can mean a lot of things, some forums saying hard drive access is restricted, others saying bad RAM, others are saying bad graphics drivers, and people have even fixed the error by defaulting the bios settings, I'd turn on UAC and run wow as an elevated program, that may fix it but it maybe something else, you could default your bios to factory settings, overclocking might be a factor as well.

Well an update. I was on the WoW forums and someone suggested adding -d3d11 to the end of the launcher.exe file. Well that seems to have fixed it. I've played for a good hour plus, doing all the things that would make it crash before and it's held stable so far.

 

[MrNeeds]

Well, it does make sense, you're forcing WoW to use DirectX11 instead of DirectX10, since DirectX11 is pre-installed, it should take full advantage of the GPU and stop any errors, it's a shame that blizzard didn't incorporate this simple line of code in the game to start with. Enjoy your game 2kanchoo and you know where to find us if there's any more issues.

Yea it's one of those things when you find out about it, it makes sense. But you wouldn't guess without already knowing about it. Yes it is stupid it isn't setup to automatically use the highest verson of directx. haha. Thanks for all the help and patience. :D
