Mazzle UI too much for system?

[Thristin]

I must admit, my laptop isn't nearly state of the art, and it's getting a little old. (got it way back in January!). So here is my dilemma. My settings are already as low as they can go, and with that I barely make 20fps. With Mazzle installed it lowers it from 5-7fps. Is there any way I can keep Mazzle without disabling all of the addons? I really like this UI and I want to keep it like it is, but the lag is killing my want to play.

There are a lot of things that go into the speed and fps of the game. I'd actually be very surprised if Mazzle was the only culprit. Look for background processes (anti-virus, Windows Update, disk defrag etc) first. If that doesn't help you and you're not able to upgrade the computer (RAM first) then start looking getting latest drivers, then finally at the UI and the mods. Take out Mods you don't use, turn off the 3D models, use a lower resolution, etc.

The 3D models will barely make a difference in your fps. I got the same fps with zero addons as I got with MazzleUI on my old computer, topped out around 20fps, dipped down to 8 if I was in raid or Ironforge.

Bought a new computer this past Christmas with a ton of ram, dual processors, new vgc, the whole nine yards, shot up to 60fps, with lows of 40 in raid.

Yeah, we actually ended up buying me a new computer.

Though I do have a new problem. I have a 17 Druid, and I am trying to do my quest for water form. when I accept the timed quest WoW locks up? Anyone know of an issue with that, or a fix? Not sure if it is all times quests or just that one.

Question: Do you, by any chance, use questhelper? If so, disable it on that character prior to accepting the quest. After it you could enable it again.

it's really because of questhelper, disable it and you can do your timed quests again.
