Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

I have a high end pc. Really-really high end (SLI 980 Ti 6GB Gaming GPU, 32 GB DDR4 Ram @ 1600MHz, i7 6700K CPU). Yet in order to play in Nostalrius I have to drop all settings to low, my resolution to 1024x768 (!) and I still have framerates in the 24ish range.

Am I missing something?

Do you have any issues with other games? There are a couple of things you could do: Redownload and update your graphics drivers first. Then, right click on your desktop and go to NIVIDIA control panel, click on the Manage 3D Settings tab, and under Preferred graphics processor, select High-performance NVIDIA processor instead of auto-select or the integrated graphics. Then, click on the Set PhysX Configuration tab on the left, and under Select a PhysX processor, make sure your graphics card is selected, not CPU or auto select.

That might alleviate the issue, however it could also be an addon problem. I ran into some addons that would cause massive framerate drops for some reason, even though I have a powerful system. Disable all of your addons after doing the above, log in, and set your settings back to max. Let us know if that changes anything.
