Blizzard games-Unoptimized for high-end user.

Seriously, WoW has a terrible optimization if you turn all the setting to max.

Even Starcraft 2 starts to slow down on a PC that can max out ME2 and play Crysis at a considerably high setting.

It's okay for a game with high end graphics to require humongous resources to run at max, but games that chug at the highest setting with behind-the-curve graphics boggle my mind.

Company of Heroes runs better than Sc2 on highest setting. Why is that?

Hell, Age of Empires 3 runs better than Sc2 as well.

Maxing out ME2 doesn't take alot, that counts for all UE3 games.

But yeah it's badly optimised, I heard there's not even multicore support.

I can run WoW at max and get 60 FPS. What card do you have?

In matter of fact Crysis maxed out at 8xAA and 16xAF runs better than WoW maxed out with 8xMulti sampling and 16xAF

This seems like a good thread to add something I noticed. The new patch 4.0.1 seems to have made the graphics sharper and cleaner looking. The colours seem different too, like they are more vibrant. There is a greater draw distance too I think. I also noticed that performance (on my system at least) has went way up. Going through somewhere that used to make my PC struggle such as Grizzly Hills forrests is no longer stressing my PC at all. I also noticed load times are a lot faster because the game loads differently now.

I did notice a few days ago when it was crowded as hell in Dalaran it was running at 17fps. But I'm sure they have improved the engine though because I used to get similar framerates in Grizzly Hills and now it's running really well.

High-end users?

It's called future-proofing.
