===== Game =====

  * :!: Start WoW at least once prior to running this and configure in-game Settings
  * ''Sound_EnableOpenAL'' requires ''openal32.dll'' system-wide (Creative), or renamed from [[https://github.com/kcat/openal-soft/releases|OpenAL Soft]]'s win32 ''soft_oal.dll'' and placed next to ''Wow.exe''

  * 2024/05/27: Highest settings, minus 1 notch on Shadow Quality, lowest Texture Filtering on Intel UHD 630 @ 1080p@75Hz
  * :?: Vsync + Triple Buffering is a huge performance benefit and can maintain 75Hz, vs getting cut to half with just Vsync and **without** Vsync
