PeaversPerformance

A World of Warcraft addon with transparent one-click graphics presets spanning the whole scale, showing exactly which CVars change and restoring your original settings on demand.

Features

• Five one-click graphics presets spanning the whole scale: Maximum, Quality, Balanced, Performance, and Minimum
• Auto-switch (opt-in): apply a chosen preset when you zone into a raid, Mythic+, or dungeon, and switch back in the open world
• Full transparency - every preset lists exactly which CVars it changes, with current and new values
• Snapshots your original settings before the first preset and restores them with one click
• Safety floor in every tier: ground danger indicators stay on and essential spell effects are always kept
• Applies to raids and battlegrounds too, and queues safely if you're in combat

Usage

Popular "FPS boost" UI packs get much of their reputation by quietly lowering graphics settings. PeaversPerformance does the same thing honestly - pick a preset, see exactly what it changes, and restore your own settings whenever you like.

1. Open the settings with /pperf (or /pconfig > Performance)
2. Review any preset on the Transparency tab before applying
3. Click a preset button on the Presets tab to apply it
4. Optionally enable location-based switching on the Auto-Switch tab
5. Click "Restore my original settings" at any time to undo everything

Slash Commands

• /pperf - Open settings
• /pperf max - Everything cranked, for beefy rigs
• /pperf quality - Mild FPS wins, keeps it pretty
• /pperf balanced - Noticeable FPS gains, moderate visual cost
• /pperf performance - Maximum FPS, potato mode
• /pperf min - Absolute floor, everything off that can be off
• /pperf restore - Restore your original settings
• /pperf auto - Toggle auto-switching by location
• /pperf status - Show the active preset

Configuration

Access the preset panel through /pperf. Settings are organised into tabs:

• Presets: Apply Maximum, Quality, Balanced, Performance, or Minimum with one click, and restore every CVar to its pre-preset value
• Auto-Switch: Enable location-based switching and pick a preset (or "My original settings") per location - raid, Mythic+, dungeon, open world. Every automatic switch is announced in chat
• Transparency: Per-preset list of every CVar it changes, with current and new values
• Information: Overview and slash command reference
