Controls the density at which ground clutter items, like grass and foliage, are placed. Decrease to improve performance.

Controls the distance at which ground clutter items, like grass and foliage, are placed. Decrease to improve performance.

Controls the level of environment and character resolution. (Lower is better.) Increasing this may slightly improve performance.

Controls the level of terrain blending. (Lower is better.) Increasing this may slightly improve performance.

Controls the method and quality used to display sunshafts and glare effects. Disabling this setting may improve performance. Disabled(0): Traditional sunshafts and glave. Low(1): Depth-based sunshafts and glare. High(2): Depth-based sunshafts and glare with improved sampling to reduce anti-aliasing.

Controls the number of particles used in effects caused by spells, fires, etc. Decrease to improve performance.

Controls the rendering quality of liquid. Decreasing this may improve performance. Low(0): Animated Liquid textures, texture based ripples and no reflection. Fair(1): Normalmap liquid textures, texture based ripples and sky reflection. Good(2): Normalmap liquid textures, procedural ripples and screen-based reflection. Ultra(3): Normalmap liquid textures, procedural ripples and full reflection.

Controls the rendering quality of the advanced lighting effects. Decreasing this may greatly improve performance.

Controls whether the selection outline effect is allowed. See the interface Display panel for more options.

CPU profiling is disabled by default since it has some overhead. CPU profiling is controlled by this option.

Enable

Enable extra logging data when writing the combat log to a text file. This may cause additional network lag when using the "combatlog" chat command.

Enable IPv6 when available

Enable Microphone

Enable the use of IPv6, the technology behind the next-generation Internet. Requires IPv6 connectivity to the Internet. Checking this box without IPv6 connectivity may prevent you from playing WoW.

Enable this option for a more responsive cursor unless you have cursor problems.

Enable this option to optimize network usage for speed in order to decrease lag. This will increase your bandwidth usage, and may cause problems in some environments. Disabling this option may help resolve certain disconnection issues.

Enable to allow sounds to play even when World of Warcraft is in the background.

Enables or disables all sound.

Enables software emulation for headphone surround sound.

Enables the projecting of textures to the environment. Disabling this may greatly improve performance.

Enables triple buffering of frames when vertical sync is enabled. Selecting triple buffering may even out frame rate spikes, but may also cause slight input lag.

Enabling this reduces user interface lag, but may drastically reduce frame rates.
