    Need more info, notably your driver version, whether you've whitelisted wow, whether this is a new or old phenomenon, and also whether you've tried in full screen mode (as opposed to your current windows setting).

    You need to update to the latest nvidia drivers. R1 or R2?

    I tried the 263.. For R1 after I installed it and restarted. It went back to my old driver.

    the newest nvidia driver for the m11x actually makes the gt335m's performance worse for certain games..... WoW is one of the games that is affected by this factor. After i ran into these issues i uninstalled it and WoW ran much better....

    Newest official or newest beta? I run 267.76 and wow runs perfect on my R2 (apart from the water issue which has been around forever). I didn't notice any difference in performance compared to previous versions, including 260.99, which was the best for the longest time.
