World of Warcraft 3.2 - low fps

Edit: Just realised I've posted in wrong forum. Could admin please move. Sorry ☹️

Hi there,

I'm looking to boost my fps in WOW.

Currently i am getting:
5-20fps in heavy populated areas e.g. dalaran
20-30 in low populated areas
30-40 when flying high with just me, my mount and sky.

In my windows version I am getting 40+fps in dala and 60 everywhere else on almost max settings

This stay pretty much the same despite me putting desktop effects to basic, and turning down graphics settings. I am running with the latest ATI drivers (9.8)

I have installed wow by copying directly from my windows installation. I have read on other posts that this is in d3d and results in poor performance. I have changed my config.wtf file to change it to opengl. Just to make sure i have it set correct.. i have copied it below.

If you need any more info.. just ask.

Hope you can help.
