Does WOW run better in bootcamp than osx?

Does WOW run better in bootcamp than osx? Even though its the same system does it tend to run better in windows?

It will because of Direct X.

Thats not my Post but I quote it for you..

Same here... No (noticable) change. Haven't tried low settings though.

WoW settings ultra - multisampling 1x => 30-60 FPS
WoW settings ultra - multisampling 4x (bootcamp) => 130-180 FPS

The difference is just ridiculous.

Not just wow, virtually all games. I'm thinking about bootcamping for starcraft 2, and steam.

That's an aberration.

I haven't played WoW in a while, but when I did Windows would run about 10-15 frames faster than OS X. To be less than a third as fast, you have to have something seriously wrong going on.
