Tips on how to get more out of your pc for gaming
Make batch (.bat) file with the following 3 lines (edit line 2 to your system)
@echo off
cd /d "D:\Program Files\Lotro"
start /high TurbineInvoker.exe
this will load the game using high cpu priority mode
Nvidia Tweak
Nvidia Control panel
control panel> Nvidia control panel > 3d settings > manage 3d settings
If you dont see Manage 3D settings change the settings in the toolbar from Standard to Advanced to access 3D Management.
You may have different setting here but do all that you have.
click the Global tab
Anisotropic filtering - Off
Anitaliasing Gamma correction -off
Anitaliasing setting -none
Anitaliasing transparency -off
Conformant texture clamp - on/use hardware
Extension limit - off
Force mipmaps - none
Maximum pre-rendered frames -3
Multiple graphics card acceleration -single display perfromance mode.
Texture filtering anisotropic mip filter opti... -off
Texture filtering anisotropic sample opti... -off
Texture filtering negative Lod Bias -allow
Texture filtering - high performance
Texture filtering trilinear optimization -off
Triple buffering - off
Vertical sync - Force off
While still in Manage 3D settings click the Programs Settings Tab
Find WoW in the drop down menu. If its not showing up check that the"show only programs found on this computer" box is not clicked.
Repeat steps from global here. This forces WoW specifically when it runs.
Anisotropic filtering - off
Anitaliasing Gamma correction -Use global setting off

Anitaliasing transparency - Use global setting off
Conformant texture clamp -Use global setting on/use hardware
Extension limit -Use global setting off
Force mipmaps -Use global setting none
Maximum pre-rendere framesUse global setting (3)
