[death]

hi guys i was running a 4 boxer, upgraded to 5 today and am getting horrible FPS across most windows

i have my config.wtf set to 30 maxfps 15 maxfpsbk on the main window, 10 maxfps 10 maxfpsbk on the slaves

graphics on high ( main only) slaves minimal graphics (shadows off on main also)

my computer specs are:

Windows Vista Ultimate (64 bit)
NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT
Quad Core Q6600 CPU
4gb Corsair DDR2 (1066) O/C to 1333

Update: tried with Keyclone and they are working at set FPS,, but i perfer ISboxer for auto setup of FTL....
any help/advice would be greatly appriciated

problem solved itself after a reboot

You're 5-boxing with 4GB of RAM? Any complications in Dalaran?

<For anyone else reading this in the future and wondering what to try.>

As Lax mentioned in chat, ISBoxer settings override your maxfps and maxfpsbk settings in the config.wtf file, so make sure you set your FPS per Slot in your ISBoxer Character Set.

I even have to be careful when i take flightpaths that go around Dalaran.. but for all the rest it's ok :-)

I haven't had any major fps loss yet. I've been to Stormwind, Orgrimmar and Ironforge with main and all of the 4 slaves without fps below 60.

Programs I usually run at the same time:
Xfire
Steam
Chrome
Spotify


With your computer I don't see why you should have that huge fps loss O.o

I'm glad you're not having FPS troubles in Vanilla, but you're in for a shock when you hit expansions, especially WotLK. You certainly will not be able to have any video settings at max, and you may not be able to handle Dalaran - if you do then it will be very slow and laggy.

Wow.. I'm only dual boxing with my setup..

9800 GT Nivida SLI (dual cards)
intel i7 920 2.66mhz
Windows 7 64-bit Ulitmate
6 gb Tri-ram
320g HD (for quickest response)
Antec nine hundred two Case
Silent Pro M 600w Power Supply
Noctua FF-P12 case 120 x 120 x 25 side case fan (for SLI cards)
4 interal case fans and 1 big on top
2 monitors (DVI / HDMI LG Flatron 23" widescreen HD glossy black W2361VG) and a (VGA Envision 19")


With this setup how much could I push this system into Multiboxing more.. I want to go 4 box or maybe five box.. Can I do it with this setup?

You should be able to run 4-5 quite easily with that setup, may want a little more ram for 5, but it should be fine with what you have.

SLI is only good for doubling the framerate on a single monitor I think i recall reading, so you may want to un-SLI them and just run a monitor on each.
