Hello all! :) first to say, i'm fairly new to the community but i'm loving it so far! Everyone on my server that's into boxing has been super helpful =) so a BIG thanks to everyone! :D
So after browsing several threads, and not wanting to hijack any for help with my own simple problem i decided i'd just start a new one
I'm running an intel box from bestbuy lol: intel duocore, 1.86 ghz 32 bit vista with 4 gigs of ram and a 7600gs and fourboxing with dual monitors, one 22 inch hp w2207, and one 19inch hp w1907
i run 3 clients on the 19 inch and my main on my 22 inch monitor, setup as dual view monitor setting(because horizontal span isn't around and i dont understand it even if it were) ;(
the problem i'm having is poor frame rate, and i'm not sure why... every window of wow open is set to its lowest settings with all the"best performance" options checked, and i still get crap fps, around 7-22 on the main screen (resolutions at 1680,1050 on the main monitor22 inch, and 1440,900 on the smaller window with maximizer busting up the wow screens even smaller) i checked my performance in the task manager, and it seems my pc usage is around 60% or so, but my ram is using at close to 2.93 of the 4 gigs. i also use a 4 gig flash drive for ready boost in vista as well, but not sure how this factors in on boxing lol ***edit: during combat, especially in instancing and when i aoe, my fps on my main drops so terribly low that he can hardly tank!*** could it be i have to set both monitors to the same resolution, or turn down the main monitor resolution? /shrug
anyone whose really clever with vista, cpu settings, or just general info that could help me out to improve my framerate(windows xp is not an option as the computer was loaded with vista :( )? i've got my console max and mins set properly like i should have in maximizer, and i've tried several small tweaks but nothings working!! :(
I'm hoping theres some sort of software/freeware/settings that can be applied as money's tight right now :) just bought a new car and an old house hehe :thumbsup: Thanks in advance!
