So I finally installed Lion a couple weeks ago; it was a fresh install. In WoW I get graphics issues once in a while. Many of the buttons, icons and dialogs will start the dreaded flicker-O-death and the only cure is to restart the game. I tried /console reloadui but that doesn't work. This happened perhaps four or five times my entire WoW playing since BC but now after installing Lion it has happened as many times in the two weeks I've had Lion. I don't have my exact settings handy but as you may have guessed my settings are really low; most everything is turned down low, minimum or off except for particle density and distance which is set in the middle I believe. Frame rate is capped at 30. My UI response was really weird so I dropped the res from 1920 to something below that. Could the res be causing the issue if I am not using 1920x1200 which is what my ACD is?

Think there is anything wrong I have set or are Lion's drivers that bad??? WoW has some very low hardware requirements so I am leaning towards Lion being the culprit.
