continued... This is the result of my tests:
constant: wow set up in accordance with guide video (windowed, 32bit, DX9) Graphics settings LOW with no addons..
constant: HB fresh install, all cr svn's up to date (tuanha's) Ran buddy wizard
First test: HB not running
FPS 147-151 (idle @ garrison)
FPS 127-130 (combat on dummy @ garrison)
FPS 68-72 (idle @ warspear)
FPS 25-142 (idle/combat @ ashran) average of 50fps
FPS 90-102 (idle/combat @ random bg)
Conclusion: Lowes FPS drop from average was in ashran, due to HIGH MOB count
Second Test: HB enabled, with basic set-up (enyo/singular)
enyo settings: Hard lock 15 tps, all other settings unchecked Soft lock 15tps, all other settings unchecked
singular settings:default
FPS 58-66 (idle @ garrison) FPS same
FPS 20-30 (combat @ garrison) FPS same
FPS 60-65 (idle @ warspear) FPS same
FPS 4-83 (idle/combat @ ashran) avergae of 30fps FPS same
FPS 15-36 (random dung NORMAL) FPS same
Conclusion: HB is the cause of FPS drop I dont see any point testing other combo's of bot base and cr's.
