2 x 5870 CF only 29fps in WoW

I think many people here are either seriously misinformed about wow or smoking some crack. WOW is really well coded,j ust as well as any source-based games. I only have one 5870 and I get 150fps in dalaran and 270+ in classic wow places like Ironforge. I've been playing WOW for over 4 or 5 years (since the beta) and I've been in top 10 arena teams in BG9 and shadowburn battlegroup for over 6 seasons. That being said, I know a thing or two about wow because to compete against other top teams, I want to get any edge there is. Getting good fps in WOW is not just about your graphic card. It is mostly dependent on your HDD speed and your net. There were times that CPU and GPU were bottlenecking FPS in WOW but that's the the case anymore. I live right next to my server Blackrock which is located in the westcoast. So I constantly get 9~11ms ping. One thing you should know is that you can't expect to get triple digit fps right when you enter Dal, at that time, your computer doesn't even have the whole data that need to be processed. You should wait at least 1 sec before you can decide if it's the right fps you are really getting. Just jump around for a bit after you enter the Dal. Your can definitely push triple digits no problem. I have 4.5ghz E8400 so you should be definitely fine and people should back off with their accusation of wow being life sucking blackhole. The game has grown over the years tremendously and players have matured a lot more than before.
