Recently I switched to FuBar since titan was eating up so much memory, and in the couple weeks after switching I started moving mods over to ACE based ones. I've seen my performance increase in most situtations, farming, solo, pvp, standing around in IF, etc.

Here is my UI in IF, running just over 30 fps: http://www.imagedumpwitheasy.com/uploads/bfd0286fe5.jpg

I'm in a large raiding guild however and during system intensive fights like thaddius I've seen my fps drop to litteraly 1 or lower at some points recenetly when it used to be around 6-10.
Here is a random SS from one of our loatheb fights: http://www.imagedumpwitheasy.com/uploads/9dd1a16833.jpg

So what I'm wondering is if anyone knows what mods could possibly be lowering my fps so much, here is a list of mods I use with the new ones, I'll put what I replaced to the right.

I love my new mods, but I really can't raid with such a big hit to fps. Sorry for the long post, but any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks.

I'd drop DUF for ag_UnitFrames

Turn off damage meters

check to see if you have a problem with garbage collection happening a lot in raids then use teksupport to see if you can find the culprit.

By the way, you do not need a separate BossBlock addon anymore. It's built into BigWigs now. Just delete the BossBlock folder.

Getting rid of DamageMeters solved that problem for me.

Fuck that's one cluttered UI.

And yes, I'll wager that DM is the main culprit as well :)

you wouldnt even want to see how many mods I run, BUT.....I have below 32 mb.  I run 25 to 28 unless in a raid then I run about 31 mb.

I have over 45 ace mods and about 15 not aced.  All ace2 as well, I have no ace1 mods anymore.  I have all fubar 2.0 mods as well.

the only addon that sticks out is coolDown. i've had it churning as much as 50KiB/sec before. try replacing it with oCD.

(also, I'd recommend replacing decursive with Detox)

Thanks for the help guys, I'll try turning off dmg meters and coolDown next raid and see how it runs. Also I plan to switch to detox, but I've been waiting for it to be developed a bit more first. I've been looking for some ACE unit frames to switch too, but I haven't found any I like enough yet. Anyway thanks for the suggestions. Oh and my screen is a 21 inch widescreen so it's not as clutered as it looks esp with that bigwigs healbot which I dont use anymore on loatheb out of the way.

I'll take my shot at this.

Discord
DamageMeter
coolDown ---> OCD
Atlas ---- Off on raids
Auctioneer ---> Off on raids btw ditch it for KC_Items
Decursive ---> Detox (Decursive causes lag)
ECB ----> OCB
EnergyWatch ---> GonffBar
Felwood Gatherer ---> Off on raids
FlexBar---->Bongos/Pubcrawl/Bartender2
Gatherer ----> off on raids
Lootlink ---> off on raids btw ditch it for KC_Items :D
Anything CT Mod ----> GO AWAY CT MOD CURSE YOU AND YOUR LAGGAGE MEMORY USAGE

That's all I think off.

not finding ACEd UFs you like? i imagine it's because you want some portrait on it?
If so, try out Perl or XPerl, they are not draining as much as Discord and they got Portrait, Class-Icon, name above bars etc. and since you use sRaidFrames the Frameborders of both PerlClassic and XPerl will fit your UI

I run 40 mods, few of them aced (yep, almost everything does not have an aced replacement due to me being one of the only people in the world who uses them), with 16.9mb memory.

I'd like to replace more of them with ace mods, so, if someone could tell me what I could replace..

I just saw your screenshot and memory usage. If you want to compare your memory usage with others here you got to look at the number while alive (that's a start) an in combat in a 40-man Raid, since it's there that memory is critical ;)

Actualy I don't really care about portraits, the things I need in a UF are being able to see all the buff / debuff slots, and having them in a position that makes sense to me. Also having the number of mana health on the left, and the % on the right of the bars is a must for me. Link me to some ACE UF that meet those reqs and I'll try them out.

Maybe ag_Unitframes is something for you

You can change between different themes and look so for the best that fits your needs^^
But better you look for yourselve

I love ag_Unitframes, only thing stopping me from using it right now is the lack of 16 buff/debuff slots. :<

Yea I have looked around a good bit, but what I'm saying is that I haven't found any ACE UF that allow all buff/debuff slots to be shown, and to have numbers and % for mana / health displayed.

EngInventory ----> OneBag

I've yet to see a true replacement for EngInv.... but I did bounce the idea of filters for One* off kael... they'd be PeriodicTable based probably.

tekkub quoted me! :O

RECIEVE BACON!

Yea the only non ACE addons I have I really wouldn't give up is EngInv, flexbar, and target buttons.
