Occasional choppiness in World of Warcraft WOTLK 3.3.5

[jonomurphy]

Choppiness on occasion; will go away if I restart the game several times, but somewhat inconsistent. FPS will appear fine, but I will notice stuttering whenever I move until I restart.

Reports with no log files will be ignored.

Do you have "Hardware Cursor" enabled on settings, that usually causes stuttering gameplay, disabling it does magic :)

Do you use "basic" graphics or WoD models "improved" graphics, that also causes stuttering somewhat.

Do you have enabled LAA (Large Address Aware)?

As there is no 64bit client of WotLK, RAM usage is limited to 3GB max, with LAA it can go 4GB, game gets more resources and may improve overall performance of the game.

You could also try this line added on your config.wtf
SET gxApi "d3d9ex"

Can get mixed results, some get little better FPS compared to default render, and some loss FPS.

Also try newer dxvk version, sometimes small optimizations can help.

Also disable addons (if have any), some can cause various problems with game (outdated addons, broken addons)

Async version also brings certain differences (reduced lags mostly) vs basic DXVK version:

Again, no magic trick but you notice some difference for sure.
