Those that grind (for free or simple premium account) to get the vehicle are less likely to enjoy the benefits before the patch fixes the ‘mistake’. This has happened multiple times to my friends and myself: the tank is nerfed as we reach it. It seems like just a semi-clever marketing tactic to me, and it’s getting old.

So you say is that your gpu never gets fully utilized, then its probably your cpu. WoT is very single core performance dependant, because of almost no optimization regarding rendering submission.

Your CPU is very weak, if you can not afford a better one, you have to switch to the old rendering mode, which is not as demanding for the cpu.

I personally, had an almost perfect time with 8.0, however with the latest few patches it has turned into terribleness

reinstalled win 8 64 bit 1 week ago, just to see if a fresh OS could make Wot itsy bitsy better, along with ofc latest nvidia drivers, direct x, framework 3.5 (with 2.0 and 3.0) and framework 4.5 and 4.0, along with sound-drivers and all the rest of the normal, even updated my bios to 4901 rev, now… ofc, this was all just a complete waste of time, as the game still had stuttering out of hell and shit fps drops at places that usually before these patches had a semi good to good fps stability

Corsair SSD Force 3 (550mb read, 510mb write)

I have latest corsair drivers and no issue with temps(cpu and card), now, im not expecting perfect fps, considering its wargaming, but i do expect 60fps steady at lowest settings, and im not even getting that, to be fair while the higher settings do provide lower fps average across the board there are still random fps drops At any and all settings, i guess one of the few things they are working on are support for more cpu threads that the client can use but when is that gonna happen ? XD
Im not expecting much but i just came to say that not all medium to semi high end spec users are having the bare minimum of stability with their game..

Just because a game runs fine at 30 FPS doesn’t mean that, even with a system ten times more powerful, you can run it at 60 FPS. Bottlenecks in the code can mean that the game simply can’t make use of all that power.

WoT looks to be very poorly optimized (or not optimized at all) for high frame rates.
