ive been playing alot of wow as of late and dod:s and this has just started happening whre during gameplay my fps will drop substantially for 5-20 seconds and then pop back up to normal does anyone know what might be causing this?

it is quite annoying. any help would be much appreciated

What kind of card are you running?

Maybe it is just lag, because there is lag in the main cities in WoW, I know that it lags in them for my friend, which would cause it to seem like ther is a fps drop.
