Monka's Graphics Optimizer

Monka's Graphics Optimizer adds a button to the Escape menu that instantly applies a performance-focused graphics preset for WoW Retail.

If you want a quick FPS boost without digging through multiple graphics menus, this addon gives you a single-click way to switch to lighter settings before raids, dungeons, world content, or crowded cities.
